<li><a name="note1">\b 1: </a>There exist two variants of the LDLT algorithm. Eigen's one produces a pure diagonal D matrix, and therefore it cannot handle indefinite matrices, unlike Lapack's one which produces a block diagonal D matrix.</li>
<li><a name="note2">\b 2: </a>Eigenvalues, SVD and Schur decompositions rely on iterative algorithms. Their convergence speed depends on how well the eigenvalues are separated.</li>
<li><a name="note3">\b 3: </a>Our JacobiSVD is two-sided, making for proven and optimal precision for square matrices. For non-square matrices, we have to use a QR preconditioner first. The default choice, ColPivHouseholderQR, is already very reliable, but if you want it to be proven, use FullPivHouseholderQR instead.
