AFAPI af_err	af_solve_lu (af_array *x, const af_array a, const af_array piv, const af_array b, const af_mat_prop options)
	C Interface for solving a system of equations.

Detailed Description

Solve a system of equations.

This function takes a co-efficient matrix A and an output matrix B as inputs to solve the following equation for X

 \f$A * X = B\f$

This operation can be done in ArrayFire using the following code snippet.

    af::array A_lu, pivot;
    af::lu(A_lu, pivot, A);
    af::array X1 = af::solveLU(A_lu, pivot, B0);

This function along with af::lu split up the task af::solve performs for square matrices.

Note

This function is beneficial over af::solve only in long running application where the coefficient matrix A stays the same, but the observed variables keep changing.
