About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Compute an
LUfactorization of a real tridiagonal matrixAusing elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges.
The dgttrf routine computes an LU factorization of a real N-by-N tridiagonal matrix A using elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges. The factorization has the form:
where L is a product of permutation and unit lower bidiagonal matrices and U is upper triangular with non-zeros in only the main diagonal and first two superdiagonals.
For a 5-by-5 tridiagonal matrix A, elements are stored in three arrays:
where:
dlcontains the subdiagonal elements.dcontains the diagonal elements.ducontains the superdiagonal elements.
After factorization, the elements of L and U are used to update the input arrays, where:
dlcontains the multipliers that define unit lower bidiagonal matrixL.dcontains the diagonal elements ofU.duanddu2contain the elements ofUon the first and second superdiagonals.
The resulting L and U matrices have the following structure:
where the l(i) values are stored in DL, the diagonal elements u(i,i) are stored in D, and the superdiagonal elements u(i,i+1) and u(i,i+2) are stored in DU and DU2, respectively.
npm install @stdlib/lapack-base-dgttrfAlternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
scripttag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesmbranch (see README). - If you are using Deno, visit the
denobranch (see README for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umdbranch (see README).
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Both functions return a status code indicating success or failure. The status code indicates the following conditions:
0: factorization was successful.>0:U(k, k)is exactly zero the factorization has been completed, but the factorUis exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it is used to solve a system of equations wherekequals the status code value.
