- Perform a block-`LDL^{T}` factorization of the Hermitian
- matrix `A`.
-
- The standard `LDL^{T}` factorization of a positive-definite matrix
- `A` factors it as `A = LDL^{T}` where `L` is unit-lower-triangular
- and `D` is diagonal. If one allows row/column swaps via a
- permutation matrix `P`, then this factorization can be extended to
- some positive-semidefinite matrices `A` via the factorization
- `P^{T}AP = LDL^{T}` that places the zeros at the bottom of `D` to
- avoid division by zero. These factorizations extend easily to
- complex Hermitian matrices when one replaces the transpose by the
- conjugate-transpose.
-
- However, we can go one step further. If, in addition, we allow `D`
- to potentially contain `2 \times 2` blocks on its diagonal, then
- every real or complex Hermitian matrix `A` can be factored as `A =
- PLDL^{*}P^{T}`. When the row/column swaps are made intelligently,
- this process is numerically stable over inexact rings like ``RDF``.
- Bunch and Kaufman describe such a "pivot" scheme that is suitable
- for the solution of Hermitian systems, and that is how we choose
- our row and column swaps.
-
- OUTPUT:
-
- If the input matrix is Hermitian, we return a triple `(P,L,D)`
- such that `A = PLDL^{*}P^{T}` and
-
- * `P` is a permutation matrix,
- * `L` is unit lower-triangular,
- * `D` is a block-diagonal matrix whose blocks are of size
- one or two.
-
- If the input matrix is not Hermitian, the output from this function
- is undefined.

-
- This three-by-three real symmetric matrix has one positive, one

-
- This two-by-two matrix has no standard factorization, but it

- (
- [1 0] [1 0] [0 1]

- sage: block_ldlt(A)
- (
- [1 0] [1 0] [ 0 I]
- [0 1], [0 1], [-I 0]
- )
-
- TESTS:
-
- All three factors should be the identity when the original matrix is::
-
- sage: set_random_seed()

- sage: I = matrix.identity(QQ,n)
- sage: P,L,D = block_ldlt(I)
- sage: P == I and L == I and D == I
- True
-
- Ensure that a "random" real symmetric matrix is factored correctly::

- sage: A = A + A.transpose()
- sage: P,L,D = block_ldlt(A)

- True
-
- Ensure that a "random" complex positive-semidefinite matrix is
- factored correctly and that the resulting block-diagonal matrix is
- in fact diagonal::
-
- sage: set_random_seed()
- sage: n = ZZ.random_element(6)
- sage: F = NumberField(x^2 +1, 'I')

- sage: A == P*L*D*L.conjugate_transpose()*P.conjugate_transpose()
- True
- sage: diagonal_matrix(D.diagonal()) == D
- True
-
- The factorization should be a no-op on diagonal matrices::

+ Perform a user-unfriendly block-`LDL^{T}` factorization of the
+ Hermitian matrix `A`
+
+ This function is used internally to compute the factorization for
+ the user-friendly ``block_ldlt`` function. Whereas that function
+ returns three nice matrices, this one returns
+
+ * A list ``p`` of the first ``n`` natural numbers, permuted.
+ * A matrix whose lower-triangular portion is ``L``, but whose
+ * (strict) upper-triangular portion is junk.
+ * A list of the block-diagonal entries of ``D``
+
+ This is mainly useful to avoid havinf to "undo" the construction
+ of the matrix ``D`` when we don't need it. For example, it's much
+ easier to compute the inertia of a matrix from the list of blocks
+ than it is from the block-diagonal matrix itself, because given a
+ block-diagonal matrix, you first have to figure out where the
+ blocks are!
