LUDECOMPOSITION (Matrix)

• is the set of values.

## Description

• This function gives the value of LU Decomposition of a given matrix.
• In , is any square matrix.
• LU Decomposition is the procedure for decomposing any square matrix in to a product of Lower Triangular matrix and Upper Triangular matrix.
• In LU Decomposition, L stands for Lower Triangular matrix and U stands for Upper Triangular matrix.
• So A=LU.But sometimes the product includes Permutation Matrix also(PA=LU).
• LU Decomposition is also called LU Factorization.Here given matrix is split in to lower triangular and Upper triangular matrix.
• For 2x2 matrix,

• For 3x3 matrix,
