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 = 
8-62
-67-4
2-43


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 = 
8-62
-67-4
2-43


 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 = 
8-62
-67-4
2-43


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

So L = 
l_(11)00
l_(21)l_(22)0
l_(31)l_(32)l_(33)
 = 
2.828400
-2.12131.58110
0.7071-1.58110


L xx L^T = 
2.828400
-2.12131.58110
0.7071-1.58110
 xx 
2.8284-2.12130.7071
01.5811-1.5811
000
 = 
8-62
-67-4
2-43


and A = 
8-62
-67-4
2-43
