LU Solvers

For the system of equations $A\cdot\phi=B$ .
The solvers based on factorization are widely popular. The factorization of a non singular matrix A in two matrices L and U, called lower and upper matrices, leads to a direct procedure for the evaluation of the inverse of the matrix. Thus making it possible to calculate the solution vector with given source vector. It now remains a two step process: a forward substitution followed by a backward substitution.
