"""
Lower–upper (LU) decomposition factors a matrix as a product of a lower
triangular matrix and an upper triangular matrix. A square matrix has an LU
decomposition under the following conditions:
- If the matrix is invertible, then it has an LU decomposition if and only
if all of its leading principal minors are non-zero (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_(linear_algebra) for an explanation of
leading principal minors of a matrix).
- If the matrix is singular (i.e., not invertible) and it has a rank of k
(i.e., it has k linearly independent columns), then it has an LU
decomposition if its first k leading principal minors are non-zero.
This algorithm will simply attempt to perform LU decomposition on any square
matrix and raise an error if no such decomposition exists.
