# Function lusolve Solves the linear system `A * x = b` where `A` is an [n x n] matrix and `b` is a [n] column vector. ## Syntax ```js math.lusolve(A, b) // returns column vector with the solution to the linear system A * x = b math.lusolve(lup, b) // returns column vector with the solution to the linear system A * x = b, lup = math.lup(A) ``` ### Parameters Parameter | Type | Description --------- | ---- | ----------- `A` | Matrix | Array | Object | Invertible Matrix or the Matrix LU decomposition `b` | Matrix | Array | Column Vector `order` | number | The Symbolic Ordering and Analysis order, see slu for details. Matrix must be a SparseMatrix `threshold` | Number | Partial pivoting threshold (1 for partial pivoting), see slu for details. Matrix must be a SparseMatrix. ### Returns Type | Description ---- | ----------- DenseMatrix | Array | Column vector with the solution to the linear system A * x = b ### Throws Type | Description ---- | ----------- ## Examples ```js const m = [[1, 0, 0, 0], [0, 2, 0, 0], [0, 0, 3, 0], [0, 0, 0, 4]] const x = math.lusolve(m, [-1, -1, -1, -1]) // x = [[-1], [-0.5], [-1/3], [-0.25]] const f = math.lup(m) const x1 = math.lusolve(f, [-1, -1, -1, -1]) // x1 = [[-1], [-0.5], [-1/3], [-0.25]] const x2 = math.lusolve(f, [1, 2, 1, -1]) // x2 = [[1], [1], [1/3], [-0.25]] const a = [[-2, 3], [2, 1]] const b = [11, 9] const x = math.lusolve(a, b) // [[2], [5]] ``` ## See also [lup](lup.md), [slu](slu.md), [lsolve](lsolve.md), [usolve](usolve.md)
