Find Cholesky Decomposition ...
$[[8,-6,2],[-6,7,-4],[2,-4,3]]$

Solution:

Cholesky decomposition :

$A=L*L^T$ , Every symmetric positive definite matrix A can be decomposed into a product of a unique lower triangular matrix L and its transpose.

Here matrix is symmetric positive definite, so Cholesky decomposition is possible.

$A$

$8$	$-6$	$2$
$-6$	$7$	$-4$
$2$	$-4$	$3$

A matrix is positive definite if Determinants of all upper-left sub-matrices are positive.

Test method 2: Determinants of all upper-left sub-matrices are positive.

$A$

$8$	$-6$	$2$
$-6$	$7$	$-4$
$2$	$-4$	$3$

$8$

$=8$

	$8$	$-6$
	$-6$	$7$

$=20$

$8$	$-6$	$2$
$-6$	$7$	$-4$
$2$	$-4$	$3$

$=0$

Determinants are

$8,20,0$

Here all determinants are positive, so matrix is positive semi-definite.

Formula

$l_(ki)=(a_(ki) - sum_{j=1}^{i-1} l_(ij) * l_(kj))/(l_(ii))$

$l_(kk)=sqrt(a_(kk)-sum_{j=1}^{k-1} l_(kj)^2)$

Here

$A$

8	-6	2
-6	7	-4
2	-4	3

$l_(11)=sqrt(a_(11))=sqrt(8)=2.8284$

$l_(21)=(a_(21))/l_(11)=(-6)/(2.8284)=-2.1213$

$l_(22)=sqrt(a_(22)-l_(21)^2)=sqrt(7-(-2.1213)^2)=sqrt(7-4.5)=1.5811$

$l_(31)=(a_(31))/l_(11)=(2)/(2.8284)=0.7071$

$l_(32)=(a_(32)-l_(31) xx l_(21))/l_(22)=(-4-(0.7071)xx(-2.1213))/(1.5811)=(-4-(-1.5))/(1.5811)=-1.5811$

$l_(33)=sqrt(a_(33)-l_(31)^2-l_(32)^2)=sqrt(3-(0.7071)^2-(-1.5811)^2)=sqrt(3-3)=0$

$L$

$l_(11)$	$0$	$0$
$l_(21)$	$l_(22)$	$0$
$l_(31)$	$l_(32)$	$l_(33)$

	2.8284	0	0
	-2.1213	1.5811	0
	0.7071	-1.5811	0

$L xx L^T$

	2.8284	0	0
	-2.1213	1.5811	0
	0.7071	-1.5811	0

$xx$

2.8284	-2.1213	0.7071
0	1.5811	-1.5811
0	0	0

8	-6	2
-6	7	-4
2	-4	3

and

$A$

8	-6	2
-6	7	-4
2	-4	3
