A structural engineering analysis requires solving the same system for 10 different load cases (different vectors, same matrix of size ). Compare the computational cost of:

Method 1: Gaussian elimination for each load case separately
Method 2: LU decomposition once, then solve for each load case

Approximately how many times faster is Method 2 compared to Method 1?

Approximately how many times faster is Method 2 compared to Method 1?

Answer

Method 2 is approximately 5 times faster since half the elimination work is reused across loads.

Answer

Method 2 is slower because storing L and U matrices requires additional memory allocation overhead.

Answer

Method 2 and Method 1 have similar performance because both require    operations per solve.

Answer

Method 2 is approximately 100 times faster due to reduced floating-point operations in forward substitution.

Answer

Method 2 is approximately 1000 times faster due to the matrix dimension scaling with complexity.

Answer

Method 2 is approximately 10 times faster because LU factorization is done once for all cases.
