Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodClone
Creates a new object that is a copy of the current instance.
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodStatic memberFromLeftTriangularMatrix
Creates a new Cholesky decomposition directly from an already computed left triangular matrix L.
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetInformationMatrix

Compares two objects for equality, performing an elementwise comparison if the elements are vectors or matrices.
(Defined by Matrix.)
Public Extension MethodTo(Type)Overloaded.
Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime.

Remarks

For a symmetric, positive definite matrix A, the Cholesky decomposition is a lower triangular matrix L so that A = L * L'. If the matrix is not positive definite, the constructor returns a partial decomposition and sets two internal variables that can be queried using the IsUndefined and IsPositiveDefinite properties.

Any square matrix A with non-zero pivots can be written as the product of a lower triangular matrix L and an upper triangular matrix U; this is called the LU decomposition. However, if A is symmetric and positive definite, we can choose the factors such that U is the transpose of L, and this is called the Cholesky decomposition. Both the LU and the Cholesky decomposition are used to solve systems of linear equations.

When it is applicable, the Cholesky decomposition is twice as efficient as the LU decomposition.
