with nodes to be retained. M is composed of the self- and mutual admittances
identified only with nodes to be eliminated. It is a square matrix whose order is
equal to the number of nodes to be eliminated. L and its transpose LT are

Performing the multiplication indicated in Eq. (7.22) gives

and

lx = LTVA + MVx (7.24)
