LUDCMP Procedure
Replaces a real n-by-n matrix, a, with the LU decomposition of a row-wise permutation of itself. For complex matrices, see the PV‑WAVE IMSL Mathematics Reference procedure LUFAC.
Usage
LUDCMP, a, index, d
Input Parameters
a—An n-by-n matrix.
Output Parameters
a—On output, a is replaced by the LU decomposition of a row-wise permutation of itself.
index—Vector which records the row permutation effected by the partial pivoting. The values returned for index are needed in the call to LUBKSB.
d—An indicator of the number of row interchanges:
+1— Indicates the number was even.–1— Indicates the number was odd.Keywords
None.
Discussion
When you apply LUDCMP to a complex matrix, it only executes LU decomposition on the real part of the matrix.
Example
The preferred method of solving the linear set of equations Bq = r is:
b = [[1.0, -1.0, 3.0], [2.0, 1.0, 3.0], [3.0, 3.0, 1.0]]
r = [3.0, 0.0, 6.0]

PM, 'Make copies of b and r since they will get overwritten;'
a = b
q = r
