lu(a, permute_l=False, overwrite_a=False, check_finite=True)

The decomposition is:

A = P L U

where P is a permutation matrix, L lower triangular with unit diagonal elements, and U upper triangular.

Notes

This is a LU factorization routine written for SciPy.

Parameters

a : (M, N) array_like

Array to decompose

permute_l : bool, optional

Perform the multiplication P*L (Default: do not permute)

overwrite_a : bool, optional

Whether to overwrite data in a (may improve performance)

check_finite : bool, optional

Whether to check that the input matrix contains only finite numbers. Disabling may give a performance gain, but may result in problems (crashes, non-termination) if the inputs do contain infinities or NaNs.

Returns

**(If permute_l == False)**
p : (M, M) ndarray

Permutation matrix

l : (M, K) ndarray

Lower triangular or trapezoidal matrix with unit diagonal. K = min(M, N)

u : (K, N) ndarray

Upper triangular or trapezoidal matrix

**(If permute_l == True)**
pl : (M, K) ndarray

Permuted L matrix. K = min(M, N)

u : (K, N) ndarray

Upper triangular or trapezoidal matrix

Compute pivoted LU decomposition of a matrix.

Examples

>>> from scipy.linalg import lu
... A = np.array([[2, 5, 8, 7], [5, 2, 2, 8], [7, 5, 6, 6], [5, 4, 4, 8]])
... p, l, u = lu(A)
... np.allclose(A - p @ l @ u, np.zeros((4, 4))) True

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
