1 Purpose

nag_dpptrs (f07gec) solves a real symmetric positive definite system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,

A X = B,

where

A

has been factorized by nag_dpptrf (f07gdc), using packed storage.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

#include <nagf07.h>

void	nag_dpptrs (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const double ap[], double b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

3 Description

nag_dpptrs (f07gec) is used to solve a real symmetric positive definite system of linear equations

A X = B

, the function must be preceded by a call to nag_dpptrf (f07gdc) which computes the Cholesky factorization of

A

, using packed storage. The solution

X

is computed by forward and backward substitution.

uplo = Nag_Upper

A = U^{T} U

, where

U

is upper triangular; the solution

X

is computed by solving

U^{T} Y = B

and then

U X = Y

uplo = Nag_Lower

A = L L^{T}

, where

L

is lower triangular; the solution

X

is computed by solving

L Y = B

and then

L^{T} X = Y

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – 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

order = 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:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $uplo$ – Nag_UploTypeInput

On entry: specifies how

A

has been factorized.

$uplo = Nag_Upper$: $A = U^{T} U$ , where $U$ is upper triangular.
$uplo = Nag_Lower$: $A = L L^{T}$ , where $L$ is lower triangular.

Constraint:

uplo = Nag_Upper

Nag_Lower

3: $n$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: $nrhs$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

r

, the number of right-hand sides.

Constraint:

nrhs \geq 0

5: $ap [\dim]$ – const doubleInput

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

\max (1, n \times (n + 1) / 2)

On entry: the Cholesky factor of

A

stored in packed form, as returned by nag_dpptrf (f07gdc).

6: $b [\dim]$ – doubleInput/Output

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

$\max (1, pdb \times nrhs)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$\max (1, n \times pdb)$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

B

is stored in

$b [(j - 1) \times pdb + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$b [(i - 1) \times pdb + j - 1]$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

On entry: the

n

r

right-hand side matrix

B

On exit: the

n

r

solution matrix

X

7: $pdb$ – IntegerInput

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

Constraints:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $pdb \geq \max (1, n)$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $pdb \geq \max (1, nrhs)$ .

8: $fail$ – NagError *Input/Output

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

7 Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector

b

, the computed solution

x

is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations

(A + E) x = b

, where

if $uplo = Nag_Upper$ , $|E| \leq c (n) ε |U^{T}| |U|$ ;
if $uplo = Nag_Lower$ , $|E| \leq c (n) ε |L| |L^{T}|$ ,

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision.

\hat{x}

is the true solution, then the computed solution

x

satisfies a forward error bound of the form

\frac{{‖x - \hat{x}‖}_{\infty}}{{‖x‖}_{\infty}} \leq c (n) cond (A, x) ε

where

cond (A, x) = {‖|A^{- 1}| |A| |x|‖}_{\infty} / {‖x‖}_{\infty} \leq cond (A) = {‖|A^{- 1}| |A|‖}_{\infty} \leq κ_{\infty} (A)

Note that

cond (A, x)

can be much smaller than

cond (A)

Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling nag_dpprfs (f07ghc), and an estimate for

κ_{\infty} (A)

(

= κ_{1} (A)

) can be obtained by calling nag_dppcon (f07ggc).

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_dpptrs (f07gec) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_dpptrs (f07gec) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the x06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately

2 n^{2} r

This function may be followed by a call to nag_dpprfs (f07ghc) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.

The complex analogue of this function is nag_zpptrs (f07gsc).

10 Example

This example solves the system of equations

A X = B

, where

A = (\begin{matrix} 4.16 & - 3.12 & 0.56 & - 0.10 \\ - 3.12 & 5.03 & - 0.83 & 1.18 \\ 0.56 & - 0.83 & 0.76 & 0.34 \\ - 0.10 & 1.18 & 0.34 & 1.18 \end{matrix}) and B = (\begin{matrix} 8.70 & 8.30 \\ - 13.35 & 2.13 \\ 1.89 & 1.61 \\ - 4.14 & 5.00 \end{matrix}) .

Here

A

is symmetric positive definite, stored in packed form, and must first be factorized by nag_dpptrf (f07gdc).
