CHOLESKY(arr)

• $arr$ is the array of numeric elements

Description

• This function gives the value of Cholesky factorization.
• It is called Cholesky Decomposition or Cholesky Factorization.
• The Cholesky Factorization is only defined for symmetric or Hermitian positive definite matrices.
• Every positive definite matrix A can be factored as $A$ = $LL^{T}$

$L$ is lower triangular with positive diagonal elements
$L^{T}$ is is the conjugate transpose value of $L$

• Every Hermitian positive-definite matrix has a unique Cholesky decomposition.
• Here $CHOLESKY(arr)$, $arr$ is set of values to find the factorization value.
• Partition matrices in $A$ = $LL^{T}$ is

${\begin{bmatrix}a_{11}&A_{21}^{T}\\A_{21}&A_{22}\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}l_{11}&0\\L_{21}&L_{22}\end{bmatrix}}{\begin{bmatrix}l_{11}&L_{21}^{T}\\0&L_{22}^{T}\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}l_{11}^{2}&L_{11}L_{21}^{T}\\L_{11}L_{21}&L_{21}L_{21}^{T}+L_{22}L_{22}^{T}\end{bmatrix}}$

Algorithm

1. 1 Determine $l_{11}$ and $L_{21}$\\

$l_{11}$ = ${\sqrt {a_{11}}}$
