tfp.experimental.linalg.no_pivot_ldl

Non-pivoted batched LDL factorization.

tfp.experimental.linalg.no_pivot_ldl(
    matrix, name='no_pivot_ldl'
)

Performs the LDL factorization, using the outer product algorithm from [1]. No pivoting (or block pivoting) is done, so this should be less stable than e.g. Bunch-Kaufman sytrf. This is implemented as a tf.while_loop, so should have gradients and be accelerator-friendly, but is not particularly performant.
