trichol | R Documentation |
Computes Choleski decomposition of a (symmetric positive definite) tri-diagonal matrix stored as a leading diagonal and sub/super diagonal.
trichol(ld,sd)
ld |
leading diagonal of matrix |
sd |
sub-super diagonal of matrix |
Calls dpttrf
from LAPACK
. The point of this is that it has O(n)
computational cost, rather than the O(n^3)
required by dense matrix methods.
A list with elements ld
and sd
. ld
is the leading diagonal and sd
is the super diagonal of bidiagonal matrix \bf B
where {\bf B}^T{\bf B} = {\bf T}
and \bf T
is the original tridiagonal matrix.
