TheLUfactorization is closely related to Gaussianelimination, which is unstable in its pure form. To guarantee the elimination process goes to com-pletion, we must ensure that there is a nonzero pivot at every step of the elimination process.
same calculation will su er numerical di culties when there is division by a nonzero number that is relatively small. A= 10 20 1 1 2 When computing the factors Land U, the process does not fail in this case because there is no division by zero. L= 1 0 1020 1 , U= 10 20 1 0 2 10 20
