x = b, given the LU factorization of a Parameters ---------- (lu, piv) Factorization of the coefficient matrix a, as given by lu_factor b : array Right-hand side trans : {0, 1, 2}, optional Type of system to solve: ===== ========= trans system ===== ========= 0 a x = b 1 a^T x = b 2 a^H x = b ===== ========= overwrite_b : bool, optional Whether to overwrite data in b (may increase performance) check_finite : bool, optional Whether to check that the input matrices contain only finite numbers. Disabling may give a performance gain, but may result in problems (crashes, non-termination) if the inputs do contain infinities or NaNs. Returns ------- x : array Solution to the system See Also -------- lu_factor : LU factorize a matrix Examples -------- >>> import numpy as np >>> from scipy.linalg import lu_factor, lu_solve >>> A = np.array([[2, 5, 8, 7], [5, 2, 2, 8], [7, 5, 6, 6], [5, 4, 4, 8]]) >>> b = np.array([1, 1, 1, 1]) >>> lu, piv = lu_factor(A) >>> x = lu_solve((lu, piv), b) >>> np.allclose(A @ x - b, np.zeros((4,))) True r
