Factor these symmetric, matrices into A = LD{L}^{T}. The pivot matrix D is diagonal:
A =\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix} and A =\begin{bmatrix} 1 & b \\ b & c \end{bmatrix} and A =\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & -1 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & -1 & 2 \end{matrix} \right].

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -7 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix};

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & b \\ b & c \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ b & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & c-{ b }^{ 2 } \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & b \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & -1 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & -1 & 2 \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & & \\ -\frac { 1 }{ 2 } & 1 & \\ 0 & -\frac { 2 }{ 3 } & 1 \end{matrix} \right] \left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & & \\ & \frac { 3 }{ 2 } & \\ & & \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \end{matrix} \right] \left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & -\frac { 1 }{ 2 } & 0 \\ & 1 & -\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \\ & & 1 \end{matrix} \right] = LD{L}^{T}.
