Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | IsSymmetricPositiveDefinite |
Gets a value indicating whether the original matrix is symmetric and positive definite.
|
| L |
Gets the lower triangular matrix L. (This property returns the internal matrix, not a copy.)

RemarksThe Cholesky Decomposition can be used on a square matrix A that is symmetric and positive definite (SPD).
Positive definite means that: vT * A * v > 0 for all vectors v. (The equivalent interpretation is that A has all positive eigenvalues.)
The matrix is decomposed into a lower triangular matrix L so that A = L * LT
If the matrix is not symmetric and positive definite, L will be a partial decomposition and the flag IsSymmetricPositiveDefinite is set to .
Applications:
- Cholesky Decomposition can be used to solve linear equations for matrices that are SPD. This method is about a factor of 2 faster than other methods.
- It can be used to determine efficiently if a matrix is SPD.
