An Efficient Matrix Inversion Algorithm for Navigation Applications

David Y. Hsu

Abstract:	In navigation applications, an efficient way to invert a symmetric and positive definite matrix is needed. The proposed algorithm will make use of this property of being ”symmetric and positive definite” to perform numerical matrix inversion much faster than the usual Gaussian elimination method.
