Explicit factorization of the Vandermonde matrix (Q1583719): Difference between revisions

The authors give factorizations of the Vandermonde matrix using symmetric functions. First they achieve an \(LU\) factorization where \(L\) is lower triangular with units on its main diagonal and \(U\) is upper triangular. Then \(L\) is factorized into \(n\) \(1\)-lower banded matrices and \(U\) is factorized into \(n\) \(1\)-upper banded matrices.
