Vector & Matrix Computations


This exercise sheet consists of two parts: at rst additional exercises are given the solutions of which
are provided with the lecture slides and can serve you as further blueprints when solving similar tasks.
Then, the actual homework assignments are stated. Please, hand-in your results of the homework
assignments through MSTeams at the date and time specied in MSTeams.

Additional Exercises (see the lecture slides for solutions):

Problem 4.3: Leontief Input-Output Models. Suppose we have 2 factories and consumers. There
is consumer demand for the products of the factories. In addition, each factory needs products
from their own factory and the other factories in order to produce their product. We would like
to nd the output level for each factory so that all the demands are met with no product left
over. Let d~ = (d1 , d2 )T be the consumer demand vector for the products. Let ~x = (x1 , x2 ) be the
output vector of the two factories. We measure the demand and output in terms of units (which
could be GEL). Let ai,j be the number of units that factory i sends to factory j for each unit
that factory j produces. Let A = (ai,j ) be a 2 × 2-matrix.
This economic situation leads to the following system of equations

x1 = a1,1 x1 + a1,2 x2 + d1
x2 = a2,1 x1 + a2,1 x2 + d2

that can be written as


       
1 0 a1,1 a1,2 x1 d1
− =
0 1 a2,1 a2,2 x2 d2
or
(I − A) ~x = d~ ,
 
1 0
where I = is the 2 × 2-unit matrix, and (I − A) is called the Leontief matrix.
0 1
Suppose, factory 1 (a power plant) produces electricity and factory 2 (a municipal water facility)
produces water. To have output from the two factories measured in common units, we measure
both outputs in GEL. For each unit of electricity produced, factory 1 must use 0.2 units of
electricity and 0.4 units of water. For each unit of water produced, factory 2 must use 0.3 units
of electricity and 0.1 units of water. Also, consumer demand is d1 = 10 units of electricity and
d2 30 units of water. Thus, we have
 
0.2 0.3
A = .
0.4 0.1

Question: Compute the output vector ~x = (x1 , x2 ) for these two factories so that the demands
of both the facilities and the consumers are satised.
