It has been conjectured that when Gaussian elimination with complete pivoting is applied to a real n-by-n matrix, the maximum possible growth is n. In this note, a 13-by-13 matrix is given, for which the growth is 13.0205. The matrix was constructed by solving a large nonlinear programming problem. Growth larger than n has also been observed for matrices of orders 14, 15, and 16.
