Gauss-Seidel about bootcamp2019 HOT 3 CLOSED

@Xincheng-Qiu . Equation (16.3) in the lab is written in exactly the same way as in Judd (1998, p. 72) equation (3.6.3). The only difference is in how the indices over which the terms are summed are expressed (but they are the same). Below is the specification in Judd (1998, p. 72) equation (3.6.3).

I think the equation above is the correct specification of the Gauss-Seidel algorithm. Or at least, your issue with the k superscript on the second term in the brackets is not the problem.

Judd (1998, p. 71) specifies the Gauss-Jacobi algorithm in equation (3.6.2).

The reference for Judd (1998) is the following.

@rickecon I think Judd (1998, p. 72) equation (3.6.3) is the same as my specification above. Equation (16.3) in the lab (see below), however, specifies the (k+1)-th iteration term (mistakenly) as the k-th iteration term.

@rickecon Ah I guess I didn't express it clearly in my first post. The equation in my first post is the correct one, not the wrong expression in the lab file.
