LSQ
Type: Command
Description: Least Squares Solution Command: Returns the minimum norm least squares solution to any
system of linear equations where A × X = B.
If B is a vector, the resulting vector has a minimum Euclidean norm ||X|| over all vector
solutions that minimize the residual Euclidean norm ||A × X – B||. If B is a matrix, each
column of the resulting matrix, X
i
, has a minimum Euclidean norm ||X
i
|| over all vector
solutions that minimize the residual Euclidean norm ||A × X
i
– B
i
||.
If A has less than full row rank (the system of equations is underdetermined), an infinite number
of solutions exist. LSQ returns the solution with the minimum Euclidean length.
If A has less than full column rank (the system of equations is overdetermined), a solution that
satisfies all the equations may not exist. LSQ returns the solution with the minimum residuals of
A × X – B.

LU
Type: Command
Description: LU Decomposition of a Square Matrix Command: Returns the LU decomposition of a square
matrix.
When solving an exactly determined system of equations, inverting a square matrix, or computing
the determinant of a matrix, the calculator factors a square matrix into its Crout LU
decomposition using partial pivoting.
The Crout LU decomposition of A is a lower-triangular matrix L, an upper-triangular matrix U
with ones on its diagonal, and a permutation matrix P, such that P × A = L × U. The results
satisfy P × A ≅ L × U.
