GaussJordanElimination (Algorithms 4/e)

```
public class GaussJordanElimination
extends Object
```
The GaussJordanElimination data type provides methods to solve a linear system of equations Ax = b, where A is an n-by-n matrix and b is a length n vector. If no solution exists, it finds a solution y to yA = 0, yb ≠ 0, which serves as a certificate of infeasibility.
This implementation uses Gauss-Jordan elimination with partial pivoting. See GaussianElimination for an implementation that uses Gaussian elimination (but does not provide the certificate of infeasibility). For an industrial-strength numerical linear algebra library, see JAMA.
This computes correct results if all arithmetic performed is without floating-point rounding error or arithmetic overflow. In practice, there will be floating-point rounding error; partial pivoting helps prevent accumulated floating-point rounding errors from growing out of control (though it does not provide any guarantees).
For additional documentation, see Section 9.9 Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
