Description
We make available functions for the LU, QR and SVD decompositions of a matrix over the reals, for example.
However the names are LUdecomposition, QRDecomposition, and SVD.
While we probably can't change these , I suggest we make changes so that LUDecomposition and SVDDecomposition all work. Or does anyone have better ideas for the (consistent) names we should use? @antonleykin @DanGrayson, @d-torrance ?

Research direction
Start by locating the definitions or entry points for LUdecomposition, QRDecomposition, and SVD. Review how these functions are exposed and used, then resolve the naming convention before determining whether compatible aliases should be added and how the existing behavior should be verified.
