This row alone would violate the conditions for diagonal dominance. I know I'm missing something simple, does anyone have any pointers?
Caleb explained it very clearly in the previous post.

If you need more detail, this post shows a simple AWK script for creating the necessary matrix and column vectors, and a simple Octave script for doing the linear algebra.
