I would like to know which routine is for sparse LU direct solver? I would like to know whether the LU solve under Linear Systems in the documentation can be used for solving sparse matrices? Thank you!

The LU is an incomplete LU (ILU) this can be used as a preconditioner for iterative solvers.

You mean function magma_dgesv() is ILU? Can I use it as direct solver for sparse matrix?

No, magma_dgesv is normal LU (direct method) for dense matrices.
For sparse methods, see the routines under Sparse-iter and in Modules > Sparse.
