LU factorization of a matrix of type Complex.

ComplexLU performs an LU factorization of a complex general coefficient matrix. ComplexLU's method condition estimates the condition number of the matrix. The LU factorization is done using scaled partial pivoting. Scaled partial pivoting differs from partial pivoting in that the pivoting strategy is the same as if each row were scaled to have the same infinity norm.

The condition number of the matrix A is defined to be . Since it is expensive to compute , the condition number is only estimated. The estimation algorithm is the same as used by LINPACK and is described by Cline et al. (1979).

An estimated condition number greater than (where is machine precision) indicates that very small changes in A can cause very large changes in the solution x. Iterative refinement can sometimes find the solution to such a system.

ComplexLU fails if U, the upper triangular part of the factorization, has a zero diagonal element. This can occur only if A either is singular or is very close to a singular matrix.

The solve method can be used to solve systems of equations. The method determinant can be called to compute the determinant of the coefficient matrix.

ComplexLU is based on the LINPACK routine CGECO; see Dongarra et al. (1979). CGECO uses unscaled partial pivoting.
