LU decomposition

Mathematics
  • A square matrix A has an LU decomposition if A = LU, where L is a lower triangular matrix with all diagonal entries equalling 1 and U is an upper triangular matrix. The system of equations Ax = b can then be solved separately as Ly = b and then Ux = y, which is computationally more efficient. The system Ly = b efficiently yields y1,y2,…,yn in order and is known as forward substitution. The system Ux = y likewise yields xn,…,x2,x1 in that order and is known as backward substitution. Not all matrices A have LU decompositions, but there is always a permutation matrix P such that PA has an LU decomposition; P effectively just reorders the equations in the linear system.

  • A method used in numerical linear algebra in order to solve a set of linear equations,

    Ax=b
    where A is a square matrix and b is a column vector. In this method, a lower triangular matrix L and an upper triangular matrix U are sought such that
    LU=A
    For definiteness, the diagonal elements of L may be taken to be 1. The elements of successive rows of U and L may easily be calculated from the defining equations.

    Once L and U have been determined, so that

    LUx=b,
    the equation
    Ly=b
    is solved by forward substitution. Thereafter the equation
    Ux=y
    is solved for x by backward substitution. x is then the solution to the original problem.

    A variant of the method, the method of LDU decomposition, seeks lower and upper triangular matrices with unit diagonal and a diagonal matrix D, such that

    A=LDU
    If the matrix A is symmetric and positive definite, there is an advantage in finding a lower triangular matrix L such that
    A=LLT
    (see transpose). This method is known as Cholesky decomposition; the diagonal elements of L are not, in general, unity.
