==How does Octave solve linear systems?==


In addition to consulting Octave's source for the precise details, the Octave manual contains a complete high-level description of the algorithm that Octave uses to decide how to solve a particular linear system, e.g. how the backslash operator A\x will be interpreted. Sections “Techniques Used for Linear Algebra” and “Linear Algebra on Sparse Matrices” from the manual describe this procedure.
