\title{
Tridiagonal Linear System Solver
}
\description{
Solves tridiagonal linear systems \code{A*x=rhs} efficiently.
}
\usage{
trisolve(a, b, d, rhs)
}
\arguments{
\item{a}{diagonal of the tridiagonal matrix \code{A}.}
\item{b, d}{upper and lower secondary diagonal of \code{A}.}
\item{rhs}{right hand side of the linear system \code{A*x=rhs}.}
}
\details{
Solves tridiagonal linear systems \code{A*x=rhs} by applying Givens
transformations.
By only storing the three diagonals, \code{trisolve} has memory requirements
of \code{3*n} instead of \code{n^2} and
is faster than the standard \code{solve} function for larger matrices.
}
\value{
Returns the solution of the tridiagonal linear system as vector.
}
\note{
Has applications for spline approximations and for solving boundary value
problems (ordinary differential equations).
