// symmetric positive definite linear systems using a sparse Cholesky
// factorization.

// to Factorize or FactorAndSolve. Subsequent calls to Factorize and
// FactorAndSolve are expected to have the same sparsity structure.

// Example usage:
//
//  std::unique_ptr<SparseCholesky>
//  sparse_cholesky(SparseCholesky::Create(SUITE_SPARSE, AMD));
//
//  CompressedRowSparseMatrix lhs = ...;
//  std::string message;
