[Matlisp-users] Cholesky factorization

[rif <ri...@MI...>]

Nearly all the matrices I work with are positive semidefinite.  Does
Matlisp have a Cholesky factorization routine?

Also, what is the best way to solve a bunch of problems of the form Ax
= b, where A is positive semidefinite and the b's are not known ahead
of time?  In Octave, I would say:

R = chol(A);

and, once I obtained a b, I would solve via:

t = R'\b;
x = R\t;

What is the Matlisp equivalent to this approach?

Cheers,
