LUDecomposition

LUDecomposition[m]
generates a representation of the LU decomposition of a square matrix m.

LUDecomposition returns a list of three elements. The first element is a combination of upper- and lower-triangular matrices, the second element is a vector specifying rows used for pivoting, and for approximate numerical matrices the third element is an estimate of the L condition number of .
