A system of equations with a tridiagonal coefficient matrix (Q702662)

The goal of the paper is to show that for a linear system of equations \(AX=C\), where the coefficient matrix \(A\) is tridiagonal, the algorithms used by \textit{M. El-Mikkawy} in [Appl. Math. Comput. 139, No. 2--3, 503--511 (2003; Zbl 1078.65533)] can be improved in the case when \(A\) is invertible, the system being equivalent with a linear system that has the coefficient matrix an upper triangular matrix.
