Linear Algebra
R2026bDSP System Toolbox™ system linear algebra blocks enable you to work with matrices in Simulink®. For example, to solve a set of linear equations through Levinson-Durbin and Cholesky methods, use the Levinson-Durbin and Cholesky Solver blocks. These techniques are commonly used in applications such as the Yule-Walker AR problem and linear predictive coding. To factorize a square matrix into upper and lower components, use methods such as LDL factorization and the LU factorization. To invert matrices, use methods such as Cholesky factorization, LDL factorization, and LU factorization. For a summary of all the supported techniques and the corresponding blocks in DSP System Toolbox which implement the techniques, see Linear Algebra and Least Squares.
