Abstract

The matrix LU factorization algorithm is a fundamental algorithm in linear algebra. We propose a generalization of the LU and LEU algorithms to accommodate the case of a commutative domain and its field of quotients. This algorithm decomposes any matrix A into a product of three matrices A=LSU, where each element of the triangular matrices L and U is a minor of matrix A. The number of non-zero elements in matrix S is equal to rank(A), and each of them is the inverse of the product of a specific pair of matrix A minors. The algorithm's complexity is equivalent to that of matrix multiplication.
