In this paper we derive perturbation theorems for the LU and QR factors. Moreover, bounds for κL(A)/κL′(A) and κU(A)/κ′U(A) are given for the LU factorization of a nonsingular matrix. By applying pivoting strategies in the LU factorization, estimates for κL(PAQ)/κL′(PAQ) and κU(PAQ)/κ′U(PAQ) are also obtained.
