/** \ingroup SparseLU_Module
  * \class SparseLU
  *
  * \brief Sparse supernodal LU factorization for general matrices
  *
  * This class implements the supernodal LU factorization for general matrices.
  * It uses the main techniques from the sequential SuperLU package
  * (http://crd-legacy.lbl.gov/~xiaoye/SuperLU/). It handles transparently real
  * and complex arithmetics with single and double precision, depending on the
  * scalar type of your input matrix.
  * The code has been optimized to provide BLAS-3 operations during supernode-panel updates.
  * It benefits directly from the built-in high-performant Eigen BLAS routines.
  * Moreover, when the size of a supernode is very small, the BLAS calls are avoided to
  * enable a better optimization from the compiler. For best performance,
  * you should compile it with NDEBUG flag to avoid the numerous bounds checking on vectors.
  *
  * An important parameter of this class is the ordering method. It is used to reorder the columns
  * (and eventually the rows) of the matrix to reduce the number of new elements that are created during
  * numerical factorization. The cheapest method available is COLAMD.
  * See  \link OrderingMethods_Module the OrderingMethods module \endlink for the list of
  * built-in and external ordering methods.
  *
  * Simple example with key steps
  * \code
  * VectorXd x(n), b(n);
  * SparseMatrix<double, ColMajor> A;
  * SparseLU<SparseMatrix<scalar, ColMajor>, COLAMDOrdering<Index> >   solver;
  * // fill A and b;
  * // Compute the ordering permutation vector from the structural pattern of A
  * solver.analyzePattern(A);
  * // Compute the numerical factorization
  * solver.factorize(A);
  * //Use the factors to solve the linear system
  * x = solver.solve(b);
  * \endcode
  *
  * \warning The input matrix A should be in a \b compressed and \b column-major form.
  * Otherwise an expensive copy will be made. You can call the inexpensive makeCompressed() to get a compressed matrix.
  *
  * \note Unlike the initial SuperLU implementation, there is no step to equilibrate the matrix.
  * For badly scaled matrices, this step can be useful to reduce the pivoting during factorization.
  * If this is the case for your matrices, you can try the basic scaling method at
  *  "unsupported/Eigen/src/IterativeSolvers/Scaling.h"
  *
  * \tparam _MatrixType The type of the sparse matrix. It must be a column-major SparseMatrix<>
  * \tparam _OrderingType The ordering method to use, either AMD, COLAMD or METIS. Default is COLMAD
