An LU decomposition writes $A=LU$ with $L$ lower triangular and $U$ upper triangular. With the common unit-diagonal convention for $L$, its subdiagonal entries record elimination multipliers. Row pivoting instead gives $PA=LU$ for a permutation matrix $P$. An invertible matrix need not admit LU without row exchanges.
