5  Arguments

1:    $\mathbf{order}$ – Nag_OrderTypeInput

On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$. See Section 2.3.1.3 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint: $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$.

2:    $\mathbf{uplo}$ – Nag_UploTypeInput

On entry: if $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$, the upper triangle of the matrix $A$ is stored.

If $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$, the lower triangle of the matrix $A$ is stored.

Constraint: $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$.

3:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the number of linear equations $n$, i.e., the order of the matrix $A$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

4:    $\mathbf{kd}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the number of superdiagonals $k$ (and the number of subdiagonals) of the band matrix $A$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{kd}\ge 0$.

5:    $\mathbf{nrhs}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the number of right-hand sides $r$, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix $B$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{nrhs}\ge 0$.

6:    $\mathbf{ab}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – ComplexInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ab must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{pdab}\times \mathbf{n}\right)$.

On entry:

• if $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$ then
  • if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$, $a_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ab}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdab}+\mathbf{kd}+i-j\right]$;
  • if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$, $a_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ab}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdab}+j-i\right]$,
  for $\max \left(1,j-\mathbf{kd}\right)\le i\le j$;

  • if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$, $a_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ab}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdab}+i-j\right]$;
  • if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$, $a_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ab}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdab}+\mathbf{kd}+j-i\right]$,
  for $j\le i\le \min \left(n,j+\mathbf{kd}\right)$,

where $\mathbf{pdab}\ge \mathbf{kd}+1$ is the stride separating diagonal matrix elements in the array ab.

See Section 9 below for further details.

On exit: if $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_NOERROR or NE_RCOND, the factor $U$ or $L$ from the Cholesky factorization $A=U^{\mathrm{H}}U$ or $A=L{L}^{\mathrm{H}}$, in the same storage format as $A$.

7:    $\mathbf{pdab}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix $A$ in the array ab.

Constraint: $\mathbf{pdab}\ge \mathbf{kd}+1$.

8:    $\mathbf{b}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – ComplexInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least

• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{pdb}\times \mathbf{nrhs}\right)$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\times \mathbf{pdb}\right)$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

The $\left(i,j\right)$th element of the matrix $B$ is stored in

• $\mathbf{b}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdb}+i-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\mathbf{b}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdb}+j-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

On entry: the $n$ by $r$ matrix of right-hand sides $B$.

On exit: if $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_NOERROR or NE_RCOND, the $n$ by $r$ solution matrix $X$.

9:    $\mathbf{pdb}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array b.

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$, $\mathbf{pdb}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$, $\mathbf{pdb}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{nrhs}\right)$.

10:  $\mathbf{rcond}$ – double *Output

On exit: if $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_NOERROR or NE_RCOND, an estimate of the reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix $A$, computed as $\mathbf{rcond}=1/\left({‖A‖}_1{‖A^{-1}‖}_1\right)$.

11:  $\mathbf{errbnd}$ – double *Output

On exit: if $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_NOERROR or NE_RCOND, an estimate of the forward error bound for a computed solution $\hat{x}$, such that ${‖\hat{x}-x‖}_1/{‖x‖}_1\le \mathbf{errbnd}$, where $\hat{x}$ is a column of the computed solution returned in the array b and $x$ is the corresponding column of the exact solution $X$. If rcond is less than machine precision, then errbnd is returned as unity.

12:  $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 2.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR

An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.

An unexpected error has been triggered by this function. Please contact NAG.
See Section 2.7.6 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
