Linear system with Non-square LU factors












0












$begingroup$


Consider the following linear system of equations:
$$
textbf{A}textbf{x} = textbf{b}
$$

Where $textbf{x}, textbf{b} in mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $textbf{A} in mathbb{R}^{n times n}$. We also have that $textbf{A}=textbf{L}textbf{U}$ where $textbf{L} in mathbb{R}^{n times m}$ and $ textbf{U} in mathbb{R}^{m times n}$ are non-square matrices ($m > n$). $textbf{L}$ is constructed from a square lower triangular matrix $textbf{L}_0 in mathbb{R}^{m times m}$ by removing some of its rows, and $textbf{U}$ is constructed from a square upper triangular matrix $textbf{U}_0 in mathbb{R}^{m times m}$ by removing some of its columns. The indices of the removed rows and columns are the same.



My questions are the following:




  • If $textbf{A}$ is full rank, how can I use $textbf{L}$ and $textbf{U}$ to solve the linear system in $mathcal{O}(n^2)$?


  • If $textbf{A}$ is NOT full rank, how can I use $textbf{L}$ and $textbf{U}$ to find the least squares soluton of the system in $mathcal{O}(n^2)$?



EDIT: Complexity $mathcal{O}(m^2)$ is also acceptable in both cases.

    Can't you extend L and U back to square form and use standard results for LU? Btw, it looks like in L you can only drop columns (not rows as you mention)
