This chapter describes functions for solving linear systems. The
library provides linear algebra operations which operate directly on
the gsl_vector
and gsl_matrix
objects. These routines
use the standard algorithms from Golub & Van Loan's Matrix
Computations.
When dealing with very large systems the routines found in lapack should be considered. These support specialized data representations and other optimizations.
The functions described in this chapter are declared in the header file gsl_linalg.h.
