..  lufact(A [,pivot=Val{true}]) -> F

Compute the LU factorization of ``A``. The return type of ``F`` depends on the type of ``A``. In most cases, if ``A`` is a subtype ``S`` of AbstractMatrix with an element type ``T`` supporting ``+``, ``-``, ``*`` and ``/`` the return type is ``LU{T,S{T}}``. If pivoting is chosen (default) the element type should also support ``abs`` and ``<``. When ``A`` is sparse and have element of type ``Float32``, ``Float64``, ``Complex{Float32}``, or ``Complex{Float64}`` the return type is ``UmfpackLU``. Some examples are shown in the table below.

======================= ========================= ========================================
Type of input ``A``     Type of output ``F``      Relationship between ``F`` and ``A``
======================= ========================= ========================================
:func:`Matrix`           ``LU``                   ``F[:L]*F[:U] == A[F[:p], :]``
:func:`Tridiagonal`      ``LU{T,Tridiagonal{T}}`` ``F[:L]*F[:U] == A[F[:p], :]``
:func:`SparseMatrixCSC`  ``UmfpackLU``            ``F[:L]*F[:U] == (F[:Rs] .* A)[F[:p], F[:q]]``

The individual components of the factorization ``F`` can be accessed by indexing:
