- Syntax: factor ( A )
- factor ( A , TYPE )
-
- Description:
-
- The factor function computes the LU factorization of the input
- matrix A. Factor returns a list with 3 elements:
-
- if A is a general matrix:
- lu a matrix containing the LU factors
- pvt a vector containing the pivot indices
- rcond the inverse of the condition estimate
- Factor utilizes the LAPACK subroutines DGETRF, DGECON or
- ZGETRF, ZGECON.
-
- if A is a symmetric matrix:
- ldl a matrix containing the block diagonal matrix
- D, and the multipliers used to obtain L.
- pvt a vector containing the pivot indices
- rcond the inverse of the condition estimate
- Factor utilizes the LAPACK subroutines DSYTRF, DSYCON or
- ZHETRF, ZHECON.
-
- The user can overide factor's choice of solution type with the
- optional argument TYPE.
-
- TYPE = "g" or "G" The general solution is used.
-
- TYPE = "s" or "S" the symmetric solution is used.
-
- Factor returns the results in the above format, so that they
- may be conveniently used with backsub for repetitive
- solutions. The user-function lu will separate the results from
- factor into separate L and U matrices.
