Synopsis#include <flint/arb_mat.h>
void arb_mat_inv_cho_precomp(arb_mat_t X, const arb_mat_t L, slong prec)source
int arb_mat_spd_inv(arb_mat_t X, const arb_mat_t A, slong prec)source

Set X to A^{-1} for a symmetric positive definite A, given its Cholesky factor L (assumed valid) or computing it. The inverse is obtained by the method of [Kri2013], which computes fewer intermediate results than solving AX = I. arb_mat_spd_inv returns zero (with X undefined) if the Cholesky decomposition fails.
