  • Abstract
    A recent paper presented a modification of the Gauss-Jordan method for inverting a matrix which avoids loss of accuracy due to a type of ill-conditioning which leads to subtractive cancellation. This paper shows the relationship between the standard and modified techniques, and why and when the latter is effective.
