## cern.colt.matrix.linalg
Class LUDecomposition

    java.lang.Object
      cern.colt.matrix.linalg.LUDecomposition

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

public class LUDecomposition
extends Object
implements Serializable

For an `m x n` matrix `A` with `m >= n`, the LU decomposition is an `m x n` unit lower triangular matrix `L`, an `n x n` upper triangular matrix `U`, and a permutation vector `piv` of length `m` so that `A(piv,:) = L*U`; If `m < n`, then `L` is `m x m` and `U` is `m x n`.

The LU decomposition with pivoting always exists, even if the matrix is singular, so the constructor will never fail. The primary use of the LU decomposition is in the solution of square systems of simultaneous linear equations. This will fail if `isNonsingular()` returns false.

Constructor Summary
`LUDecomposition(DoubleMatrix2D A)` Constructs and returns a new LU Decomposition object; The decomposed matrices can be retrieved via instance methods of the returned decomposition object.

Method Summary
`double` | `det()` Returns the determinant, `det(A)`.
`DoubleMatrix2D` | `getL()` Returns the lower triangular factor, `L`.
`int[]` | `getPivot()` Returns a copy of the pivot permutation vector.
`DoubleMatrix2D` | `getU()` Returns the upper triangular factor, `U`.
`boolean` | `isNonsingular()` Returns whether the matrix is nonsingular (has an inverse).
`DoubleMatrix2D` | `solve(DoubleMatrix2D B)` Solves `A*X = B`.
`String` | `toString()` Returns a String with (propertyName, propertyValue) pairs.

Constructor Detail

### LUDecomposition

    public LUDecomposition(DoubleMatrix2D A)

  Constructs and returns a new LU Decomposition object; The decomposed matrices can be retrieved via instance methods of the returned decomposition object.

Parameters:
  `A` - Rectangular matrix

Method Detail

### det

    public double det()

  Returns the determinant, `det(A)`.

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - Matrix must be square

### getL

    public DoubleMatrix2D getL()

  Returns the lower triangular factor, `L`.

  Returns:
    `L`

### getPivot

    public int[] getPivot()

  Returns a copy of the pivot permutation vector.

  Returns:
    piv

### getU

    public DoubleMatrix2D getU()

  Returns the upper triangular factor, `U`.

  Returns:
    `U`

### isNonsingular

    public boolean isNonsingular()

  Returns whether the matrix is nonsingular (has an inverse).

  Returns:
    true if `U`, and hence `A`, is nonsingular; false otherwise.

### solve

    public DoubleMatrix2D solve(DoubleMatrix2D B)

  Solves `A*X = B`.

  Parameters:
    `B` - A matrix with as many rows as `A` and any number of columns.
  Returns:
    `X` so that `L*U*X = B(piv,:)`.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if B.rows() != A.rows().
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if A is singular, that is, if `!this.isNonsingular()`.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `A.rows() < A.columns()`.

### toString

    public String toString()

  Returns a String with (propertyName, propertyValue) pairs. Useful for debugging or to quickly get the rough picture. For example,

      rank          : 3
      trace         : 0
