lusolv(A,B,row)
function  [X,Y] = lusolv(A,B,row)
%---------------------------------------------------------------------------
%LUSOLV   LU solution of a linear system.
%         Forward substitution followed
%         by back substitution is used.
% Remark
%    The matrix A must be in factored LU form,
%    and row is the required pivoting information.
% Sample call
%   [X,Y] = lusolv(A,B,row)
% Inputs
%   A     matrix obtained from LUfact
%   B     right hand side vector
%   row   pivoting information from LUfact
% Return
%   X     solution: to AX=B
%   Y     solution: to LY=PB
