Hi:
I am trying to solve the following using SuperLU:
Ax = b (1)
where the vector "b" changes as I match thru time but the matrix "A" is
fixed. Using "routines" from numerical recipies, I can solve (1) with "A"
factored into "L*U" only once. For different "b"'s I only call the
backsubstitution routine. My question is, can one do the same thing using
SuperLU? From what is in the gmm++ manual, it appears one has to decompose
"A" everytime (1) is solved for different "b"'s. Is that the case? Or is
it possible to decompose "A" only once, and using "LU" for subsequent
solutions?
Sincerely,
