Application of Garin-Lowry Model in Simulating Urban Population and Employment Patterns

This presentation introduces a KNIME-based case study on the method for solving a system of linear equations (SLE). The technique is used in many applications including the popular input-output analysis. The method is fundamental in numerical analysis (NA) and is often used as a building block in other NA tasks such as solving a system of nonlinear equations and the eigenvalue problem. Garin-Lowry model, as an example of SLE, is a model widely used by urban planners and geographers for analyzing urban land use structures. The case study comes from the book Quantitative Methods and Socioeconomic Applications in GIS (Fahui Wang, 2nd edition)
