hello i am a final year maths student very inexperienced with maple. i am trying to obtain results with maple to show an algorithm in practice. the algorithm is a variation of an SOR algorithm used to solve an optimization problem. i realised that because the next term in the sequence (x^i+1) generated by my algorithm depends upon itself as well as x^i, i would have to try to compute each component of the vector x individually because the first entry in x^i+1 is only dependent on x^i, then the second entry in x^i+1 is dependent on x^i and only the first entry of x^i+1, which should have just been computed, etc.
