Block LU Decomposition
In linear algebra, a Block LU decomposition is a matrix decomposition of a block matrix into a lower block triangular matrix ''L'' and an upper block triangular matrix ''U''. This decomposition is used in numerical analysis to reduce the complexity of the block matrix formula. Block LDU decomposition : \begin A & B \\ C & D \end = \begin I & 0 \\ C A^ & I \end \begin A & 0 \\ 0 & D-C A^ B \end \begin I & A^ B \\ 0 & I \end Block Cholesky decomposition Consider a block matrix: : \begin A & B \\ C & D \end = \begin I \\ C A^ \end \,A\, \begin I & A^B \end + \begin 0 & 0 \\ 0 & D-C A^ B \end, where the matrix \beginA\end is assumed to be non-singular, \beginI\end is an identity matrix with proper dimension, and \begin0\end is a matrix whose elements are all zero. We can also rewrite the above equation using the half matrices: : \begin A & B \\ C & D \end = \begin A^ \\ C A^ \end \begin A^ & A^B \end + \begin 0 & 0 \\ 0 & Q^ \end \begin 0 & 0 \\ 0 & Q^ \end , where the S ...

Linear Algebra
Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as: :a_1x_1+\cdots +a_nx_n=b, linear maps such as: :(x_1, \ldots, x_n) \mapsto a_1x_1+\cdots +a_nx_n, and their representations in vector spaces and through matrices. Linear algebra is central to almost all areas of mathematics. For instance, linear algebra is fundamental in modern presentations of geometry, including for defining basic objects such as lines, planes and rotations. Also, functional analysis, a branch of mathematical analysis, may be viewed as the application of linear algebra to spaces of functions. Linear algebra is also used in most sciences and fields of engineering, because it allows modeling many natural phenomena, and computing efficiently with such models. For nonlinear systems, which cannot be modeled with linear algebra, it is often used for dealing with first-order approximations, using the fact that the differential of a multivariate function at a point is the linear ma ...

Matrix Decomposition
In the mathematical discipline of linear algebra, a matrix decomposition or matrix factorization is a factorization of a matrix into a product of matrices. There are many different matrix decompositions; each finds use among a particular class of problems. Example In numerical analysis, different decompositions are used to implement efficient matrix algorithms. For instance, when solving a system of linear equations A \mathbf = \mathbf, the matrix ''A'' can be decomposed via the LU decomposition. The LU decomposition factorizes a matrix into a lower triangular matrix ''L'' and an upper triangular matrix ''U''. The systems L(U \mathbf) = \mathbf and U \mathbf = L^ \mathbf require fewer additions and multiplications to solve, compared with the original system A \mathbf = \mathbf, though one might require significantly more digits in inexact arithmetic such as floating point. Similarly, the QR decomposition expresses ''A'' as ''QR'' with ''Q'' an orthogonal matrix and ''R'' an upp ...

Block Matrix
In mathematics, a block matrix or a partitioned matrix is a matrix that is '' interpreted'' as having been broken into sections called blocks or submatrices. Intuitively, a matrix interpreted as a block matrix can be visualized as the original matrix with a collection of horizontal and vertical lines, which break it up, or partition it, into a collection of smaller matrices. Any matrix may be interpreted as a block matrix in one or more ways, with each interpretation defined by how its rows and columns are partitioned. This notion can be made more precise for an n by m matrix M by partitioning n into a collection \text, and then partitioning m into a collection \text. The original matrix is then considered as the "total" of these groups, in the sense that the (i, j) entry of the original matrix corresponds in a 1-to-1 way with some (s, t) offset entry of some (x,y), where x \in \text and y \in \text. Block matrix algebra arises in general from biproducts in categories of matrices ...

Numerical Analysis
Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to symbolic computation, symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from discrete mathematics). It is the study of numerical methods that attempt at finding approximate solutions of problems rather than the exact ones. Numerical analysis finds application in all fields of engineering and the physical sciences, and in the 21st century also the life and social sciences, medicine, business and even the arts. Current growth in computing power has enabled the use of more complex numerical analysis, providing detailed and realistic mathematical models in science and engineering. Examples of numerical analysis include: ordinary differential equations as found in celestial mechanics (predicting the motions of planets, stars and galaxies), numerical linear algebra in data analysis, and stochastic differential equations and Markov chains for simulating living ce ...

Schur Complement
In linear algebra and the theory of matrices, the Schur complement of a block matrix is defined as follows. Suppose ''p'', ''q'' are nonnegative integers, and suppose ''A'', ''B'', ''C'', ''D'' are respectively ''p'' × ''p'', ''p'' × ''q'', ''q'' × ''p'', and ''q'' × ''q'' matrices of complex numbers. Let :M = \left begin A & B \\ C & D \end\right/math> so that ''M'' is a (''p'' + ''q'') × (''p'' + ''q'') matrix. If ''D'' is invertible, then the Schur complement of the block ''D'' of the matrix ''M'' is the ''p'' × ''p'' matrix defined by :M/D := A - BD^C. If ''A'' is invertible, the Schur complement of the block ''A'' of the matrix ''M'' is the ''q'' × ''q'' matrix defined by :M/A := D - CA^B. In the case that ''A'' or ''D'' is singular, substituting a generalized inverse for the inverses on ''M/A'' and ''M/D'' yields the generalized Schur complement. The Schur complement is named after Issai Schur who used it to prove Schur's lemma, although it had been used previous ...

Cholesky Decomposition
In linear algebra, the Cholesky decomposition or Cholesky factorization (pronounced ) is a decomposition of a Hermitian, positive-definite matrix into the product of a lower triangular matrix and its conjugate transpose, which is useful for efficient numerical solutions, e.g., Monte Carlo simulations. It was discovered by André-Louis Cholesky for real matrices, and posthumously published in 1924. When it is applicable, the Cholesky decomposition is roughly twice as efficient as the LU decomposition for solving systems of linear equations. Statement The Cholesky decomposition of a Hermitian positive-definite matrix A, is a decomposition of the form : \mathbf = \mathbf^*, where L is a lower triangular matrix with real and positive diagonal entries, and L* denotes the conjugate transpose of L. Every Hermitian positive-definite matrix (and thus also every real-valued symmetric positive-definite matrix) has a unique Cholesky decomposition. The converse holds trivially: if A can be ...
