full rank update to cholesky decomposition

Let $A$ be a real, symmetric, positive definite matrix. It has at least 500 rows, possibly much more. I compute its Cholesky decomposition, which allows me to calculate $det(A)$ $A^{-1}X$ for some ...

LU Decomposition of PSD Matrix + Diagonal Matrix

If I have a psd, symmetric matrix $\mathbf{A}$ and I need to do LU decomps on $\mathbf{B_i}= \mathbf{A} + \mathbf{D_i}$ (where $\mathbf{D_i}$ is a diagonal psd matrix, where $\mathbf{D_i}$ changes ...

Algorithm for Principal Eigenvector of a Real Symmetric 3x3 Matrix

I have a 3x3 covariance matrix (so, real, symmetric, dense, 3x3), I would like it's principal eigenvector, and speed is a concern. Is there a fast algorithm for this specific problem? I've seen ...
