How to write relationship of b and c [closed]
$begingroup$
Hi I am doing a research which involves matrices, and I wish to find the relation between $b$ and $c$. The nxn matrix is given as follows:
$$
begin{bmatrix}
1/2 & -c & 1/2 & 0 & 0 & 0 & ... & 0 \
0 & 1/2 & -c & 1/2 & 0 & 0 & ... & 0 \
0 & 0 & 1/2 & -c & 1/2 & 0 & ... & 0 \
...\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & ... & 0 & 1/2 & -c \
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & ... & 0 & 1/2 \
end{bmatrix}
cdot
begin{bmatrix}
b_{1} \
b_{2} \
b_{3} \
...\
b_{N-2} \
b_{N-1} \
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
a_{1} \
a_{2} \
a_{3} \
...\
a_{N-1} \
a_{N} \
end{bmatrix}$$
It is crucial for me to find the relation between $b$ and $c$. Can someone help me drop some hints on how I can achieve that. Sorry the matrix is not well written. It is suppose to be in the form of $Atilde{b}=tilde{a}$.

Believing Lord Shark's version, you can just do back substitution, starting at the bottom. You get
$$frac 12b_N=a_N\b_N=2a_N\frac 12b_{N-1}-cb_N=a_{N-1}\b_{N-1}=2a_{N-1}+2cb_N\
frac 12b_{N-2}-cb_{N-1}+frac 12b_N=a_{N-2}\
b_{N-2}=2(a_{N-2}+cb_{N-1})-b_N$$
and so on up the line
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
But how does this helps me get the relation between b and c, because I still have all the a_N terms in there.

It has to depend on the $a$'s. They are part of the equation. If all the $a$s are zero, so are all the $b$'s regardless of $c$.
