/**
* Interface handling decomposition algorithms that can solve A × X = B.
* Decomposition algorithms decompose an A matrix has a product of several specific
* matrices from which they can solve A × X = B in least squares sense: they find X
* such that ||A × X - B|| is minimal.
* Some solvers like {@link LUDecomposition} can only find the solution for
* square matrices and when the solution is an exact linear solution, i.e. when
* ||A × X - B|| is exactly 0. Other solvers can also find solutions
* with non-square matrix A and with non-null minimal norm. If an exact linear
* solution exists it is also the minimal norm solution.
