The square root free Cholesky factorization

[DavisMan]

The Attached code calculates the square root free Cholesky factorization (LDL'), it is very useful to decompose matrices and in my specific case, to make observability analysis within electrical distribution networks. I'm publishing it because LV counts with other kind of decompositions like the LU decomposition, very useful but for my case, the values delivered by LDL' are more accurate and easier to calculate.

Love it.  The fact that this is square root free means that we may be able to utilize this in the FPGA environment (a bonus for guys like me looking to offload computations from the CPU).

Hi Matt,

Well, i'm going to work on that and find a way to put it into the LabVIEW FPGA language because all the floating point operations must be done using fixed point variables, so, when i have the code i will publish it.

Regards

Davis

I haven't really studied the code, but I think you can omit one of the transpose operations by simply branching before the first transposition.
