What is the difference between LU Decomposition and Cholesky Decomposition about using these methods to solving linear equation systems? Could you explain the difference with a simple example? Also
Let's say I want to generate correlated random variables. I understand that I can use Cholesky decomposition of the correlation matrix to obtain the correlated values ...
There is an interesting relationship between the eigen-decomposition of a symmetric matrix and its Cholesky factor: Say $A = L L'$ with $L$ the Cholesky factor, and $A = E D E'$ the eigen-decompostion.
How can I prove the existence of Cholesky decomposition without any preassumption like LDU decomposition exists? Or how can I prove LDU decomposition exists? I know it may be easy. But I just cannot figure it out. For uniqueness, I think it's not hard to prove.

Can anyone present to me an elegant elementary proof of the relationship between the eigenvalues of a positive definite matrix and its Cholesky decomposition? More formally, suppose $\mathbf{A}$ ...
The question asks how to get the Cholesky decomposition of $M^ {-1}$, and this answer gives some decomposition that (in the general case) is not the Cholesky decomposition.
What does "computing the determinant directly" mean in this context? If you are using a library, the routine to compute determinants might well be using something like Gaussian elimination or Cholesky decomposition, or whatever, and not summing over all permutations or expanding by minors.
