\b Notes:
<ul>
<li><a name="note1">\b 1: </a>There exist two variants of the LDLT algorithm. Eigen's one produces a pure diagonal D matrix, and therefore it cannot handle indefinite matrices, unlike Lapack's one which produces a block diagonal D matrix.</li>
<li><a name="note2">\b 2: </a>Eigenvalues, SVD and Schur decompositions rely on iterative algorithms. Their convergence speed depends on how well the eigenvalues are separated.</li>
<li><a name="note3">\b 3: </a>Our JacobiSVD is two-sided, making for proven and optimal precision for square matrices. For non-square matrices, we have to use a QR preconditioner first. The default choice, ColPivHouseholderQR, is already very reliable, but if you want it to be proven, use FullPivHouseholderQR instead.

\section TopicLinAlgTerminology Terminology

<dl>
  <dt><b>Selfadjoint</b></dt>
    <dd>For a real matrix, selfadjoint is a synonym for symmetric. For a complex matrix, selfadjoint is a synonym for \em hermitian.
        More generally, a matrix \f$ A \f$ is selfadjoint if and only if it is equal to its adjoint \f$ A^* \f$. The adjoint is also called the \em conjugate \em transpose. </dd>
  <dt><b>Positive/negative definite</b></dt>
    <dd>A selfadjoint matrix \f$ A \f$ is positive definite if \f$ v^* A v > 0 \f$ for any non zero vector \f$ v \f$.
        In the same vein, it is negative definite if \f$ v^* A v < 0 \f$ for any non zero vector \f$ v \f$ </dd>
  <dt><b>Positive/negative semidefinite</b></dt>
    <dd>A selfadjoint matrix \f$ A \f$ is positive semi-definite if \f$ v^* A v \ge 0 \f$ for any non zero vector \f$ v \f$.
        In the same vein, it is negative semi-definite if \f$ v^* A v \le 0 \f$ for any non zero vector \f$ v \f$ </dd>

  <dt><b>Blocking</b></dt>
    <dd>Means the algorithm can work per block, whence guaranteeing a good scaling of the performance for large matrices.</dd>
  <dt><b>Meta-unroller</b></dt>
    <dd>Means the algorithm is automatically and explicitly unrolled for very small fixed size matrices.</dd>
  <dt><b></b></dt>
    <dd></dd>
