# SparseFactorizationCholesky

A constant that represents Cholesky (*LLᵀ*) factorization.

```
var SparseFactorizationCholesky: SparseFactorization_t { get }
```

## Discussion

[`SparseFactorizationCholesky`](/documentation/Accelerate/SparseFactorizationCholesky) provides a sparse counterpart to the dense Cholesky routines `spotrf()` and `dpotrf()` from LAPACK.
