The book presents a new ``factorized'' formulation for boundary value problems for linear elliptic partial differential equations and has the following contents: 1. Presentation of the formal computation of factorization; 2. Justification of the factorization computation; 3. Complements to the model problem; 4. Interpretation of the factorization through a control problem; 5. Factorization of the discretized problem; 6. Other problems; 7. Other shapes of domain; 8. Factorization by the QR method; 9. Representation formulas for solutions of Riccati equations.
