slu.factorization.sparseLU

Compute the LU factorization of a sparse matrix.

Syntax

slu.factorization.sparseLU(A, options?)

Description

Compute the LU factorization of a sparse matrix. Computes the factorization Pr * A * Pc = L * U where: - L is unit lower triangular (stored in SuperLU's supernode format) - U is upper triangular (stored in compressed column format) - Pr is the row permutation matrix - Pc is the column permutation matrix The factorization can be reused to solve multiple systems with the same matrix but different right-hand sides.

Parameters

NameDescription
A- Sparse matrix in CSC format
options(optional)- Factorization options

Returns

LUFactorization
