Multiple LU factorizations of a singular matrix
نویسندگان
چکیده
A singular matrix A may have more than one LU factorizations. In this work the set of all LU factorizations of A is explicitly described when the lower triangular matrix L is nonsingular. To this purpose, a canonical form of A under left multiplication by unit lower triangular matrices is introduced. This canonical form allows us to characterize the matrices that have an LU factorization and to parametrize all possible LU factorizations. Formulae in terms of quotient of minors of A are presented for the entries of this canonical form. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. AMS classification: 15A23; 15A21; 65F30

Block LU factorizations of M-matrices
It is well known that any nonsingular M–matrix admits an LU factorization into M–matrices (with L and U lower and upper triangular respectively) and any singular M–matrix is permutation similar to an M–matrix which admits an LU factorization into M–matrices. Varga and Cai establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a singular M–matrix (without permutation) to allow an LU factorization wit...
متن کاملContinuous analogues of matrix factorizations.
Analogues of singular value decomposition (SVD), QR, LU and Cholesky factorizations are presented for problems in which the usual discrete matrix is replaced by a 'quasimatrix', continuous in one dimension, or a 'cmatrix', continuous in both dimensions. Two challenges arise: the generalization of the notions of triangular structure and row and column pivoting to continuous variables (required i...

متن کاملRiordan group approaches in matrix factorizations
In this paper, we consider an arbitrary binary polynomial sequence {A_n} and then give a lower triangular matrix representation of this sequence. As main result, we obtain a factorization of the innite generalized Pascal matrix in terms of this new matrix, using a Riordan group approach. Further some interesting results and applications are derived.
متن کاملParallel Band Two-Sided Matrix Bidiagonalization for Multicore Architectures
The objective of this paper is to extend, in the context of multicore architectures, the concepts of algorithms-by-tiles [Buttari et al., 2007] for Cholesky, LU, QR factorizations to the family of twosided factorizations. In particular, the bidiagonal reduction of a general, dense matrix is very often used as a pre-processing step for calculating the singular value decomposition. Furthermore, i...
