Explanation

Code Analyzer has detected a call to inv in a multiplication operation.

For solving a system of linear equations, the inverse of a matrix is primarily of theoretical value. Never use the inverse of a matrix to solve a linear system Ax=b with x=inv(A)*b, because it is slow and inaccurate.


Suggested Action

Instead of multiplying by the inverse, use matrix right division (/) or matrix left division (\). That is:

In longer expressions, parentheses might be necessary to preserve the order of operations. For example, replace A*inv(B)*C with A*(B\C).

Frequently, an application needs to solve a series of related linear systems Ax=b, where A does not change, but b does. In this case, use lu, chol, or qr instead of inv, depending on the matrix type.
