Abstract

This paper first reviews some results on the structure of inverses of nonsingular and irreducible tridiagonal matrices. Next, explicit inversion formulas are given for certain, not necessarily symmetric, tridiagonal matrices. The results are then applied to matrices arising from discretization of two-point boundary value problems of the Sturm-Liouville type. The results show harmonic relations between the Green functions and the discrete Green functions for the problems. Finally the results are extended to block tridiagonal matrices. This work was supported by Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid from JSPS.
