The use of matrix perturbation theory for addressing sensitivity and
uncertainty issues in LCA
LCA, even when modeled in the traditional way with linear equations, may show strong non-linear sensitivities.
Well-developed tools from matrix perturbation theory may be employed to investigate LCA systems for the presence and
location of such extreme sensitivities. This knowledge is useful for stability analysis, error analysis and for detecting and
resolving round-off problems in the computations.
