cholinv/spcholinv return incorrect results

[Gabriele Pannocchia]

Hi,

the following code shows for me a bug in cholinv when the argument is a
sparse matrix.

A = [2,0.2;0.2,1];
issymmetric(A)
min(eig(A))
Ainv = inv(A);
Ainv1 = cholinv(A);
Ainv2 = inv(sparse(A));
Ainv3 = cholinv(sparse(A));
Ainv4 = spcholinv(sparse(A));
err1 = norm(Ainv-Ainv1)
err2 = norm(Ainv-Ainv2)
err3 = norm(Ainv-Ainv3)
err4 = norm(Ainv-Ainv4)

I am using:

Can anyone reproduce this?
