Description
The LU Factorization block factors a row-permuted version of the square input matrix A as Ap = L*U, where L is a unit-lower triangular matrix, U is an upper triangular matrix, and Ap contains the rows of A permuted as indicated by the permutation index vector P. The block uses the pivot matrix Ap instead of the exact input matrix A because it improves the numerical accuracy of the factorization.

Ports
Input
A — Input matrix
M-by-M square matrix
Specify the input matrix as an M-by-M square matrix through this port. If the input matrix is fixed point, it must be signed integer or signed fixed point with power-of-two slope and zero bias.
Data Types: single
| double
| int8
| int16
| int32
| fixed point
Complex Number Support: Yes
Output
LU — Lower and upper triangular factors
M-by-M square matrix
Composite matrix containing both the lower triangle elements of L and
the upper triangle elements of U. The composite
matrix improves the efficiency of the block. The matrix output is in a
different format than the output of the lu
function, which
returns L and U as separate
matrices. To convert the output from the LU port of
the block to separate L and U
matrices, use the following code:
L = tril(LU,-1)+eye(size(LU)); U = triu(LU);
If you compare the results produced by these equations to the actual output of the
lu
function, you might see slightly different
values. These differences are due to a rounding error, and are expected.
For more information on the LU factorizations, see the lu
function
page.
This composite matrix has the same size, data type, and complexity as the input matrix A.

P — Permutation vector
vector
Permutation vector, returned as a vector of length M. The block permutes the input square matrix A using the permutation vector P and factors the permuted matrix into unit-lower triangular L and upper triangular matrix U.
Consider the following input matrix.
With a permutation index vector P that is equal to , the permuted matrix Ap becomes:
The block factors this matrix into upper and lower triangular matrices. For a more detailed version of this example, see Factorize Matrix Using LU Factorization Block.

S — Singularity of input matrix
logical scalar
You can determine the singularity of the input matrix
A by enabling the optional output port
S. When A is singular, the
block outputs a 1
at port S.
When A is nonsingular, the block outputs a
0
.
Data Types: Boolean
Parameters
Main Tab
Show singularity status — Show singularity status
off
(default) | on
Select to output the singularity of the input at port S, which outputs Boolean data type values of 1 or 0. An output of 1 indicates that the current input is singular, and an output of 0 indicates the current input is nonsingular.
Data Types Tab
Rounding mode — Method of rounding operation
Floor
(default) | Ceiling
| Convergent
| Nearest
| Round
| Simplest
| Zero
Specify the rounding mode for fixed-point operations as one of the following:
Floor
Ceiling
Convergent
Nearest
Round
Simplest
Zero
For more details, see rounding mode.
Saturate on integer overflow — Method of overflow action
off
(default) | on
When you select this parameter, the block saturates the result of its
fixed-point operation. When you clear this parameter, the block wraps
the result of its fixed-point operation. For details on
saturate
and wrap
, see overflow
mode for fixed-point operations.

— The block specifies a signed, binary-point, scaled, fixed-point data type with a word length of 16 bits and a fraction length of 0.
Alternatively, you can set the Product output data type by using the Data Type Assistant. To use the assistant, click the Show data type assistant button .

More About
Fixed-Point Data Types
The following diagram shows the data types used within the LU Factorization block for fixed-point signals.
You can set the product output, accumulator, and output data types in the block dialog as discussed below.
The output of the multiplier is in the product output data type when the input is real. When the input is complex, the result of the multiplication is in the accumulator data type. For details on the complex multiplication performed, see Multiplication Data Types.
