# Math Help - Fastest method for solving diagonally dominant matrix

1. ## Fastest method for solving diagonally dominant matrix

What is the fastest method in $O(n)$ notation for solving a matrix $A$. If I know that matrix $A$ is diagonally dominant and tridiagonal matrix. Is it LU decompositon or Gauss-Seidel method, or some combination of both? Or is it something else?

I'm not sure what you mean by "solving" a matrix. If you mean solving an equation such as Ax= b, where A is a diagonally dominant, tri-diagonal matrix, "LU decomposition" of A should be simple and straight forward- probably simpler than Gauss-Seidel, but they are very nearly the same thing here.

There is the tridiagonal matrix algorithm, which works in time O(n).
