Abstract

The choice of partitioning the system matrix for a system of N linear ordinary differential equations may determine the ease or difficulty of obtaining a solution by the invariant imbedding method of Scott. This paper shows how the configuration and partitioning of the system matrix is reflected in the fundamental matrix. The partitioning of the fundamental matrix is the key to the ease or difficulty of obtaining a solution. If the fundamental matrix is known for a given system matrix configuration and partitioning, then the fundamental matrix associated with a new system matrix configuration may be derived by the same row and column interchanges that transformed the old system matrix into the new system matrix. The fundamental matrix for the new system matrix does not have to be recalculated anew from the Kronecker delta initial conditions.
