Content

BasicLU implements a sparse LU factorization and an update method that maintains the factorization after column changes to the matrix. It is intended for use in simplex-type algorithms and has been tailored to hypersparse linear programming problems. It provides routines for solving linear systems with a dense or sparse right-hand side. BasicLU can be also used to compute a maximum volume basis and the row deficiency of a m-by-n matrix A.

Custom Installation

Note: BasicLU is already precompiled with Yggdrasil for all platforms.

To use your custom BasicLU, set the environment variable JULIA_BASICLU_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the folder holding the basicLU shared libraries before using BasicLU.

The JULIA_BASICLU_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable may be set permanently in the shell's startup file, or in $HOME/.julia/config/startup.jl.
