void	nag_dgbsv (Nag_OrderType order, Integer n, Integer kl, Integer ku, Integer nrhs, double ab[], Integer pdab, Integer ipiv[], double b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

3

Description

nag_dgbsv (f07bac) uses the

L U

decomposition with partial pivoting and row interchanges to factor

A

A = P L U

, where

P

is a permutation matrix,

L

is a product of permutation and unit lower triangular matrices with

k_{l}

subdiagonals, and

U

is upper triangular with

(k_{l} + k_{u})

superdiagonals. The factored form of

A

is then used to solve the system of equations

A X = B

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 3.3.1.3 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: $n$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

n

, the number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

3: $kl$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

k_{l}

, the number of subdiagonals within the band of the matrix

A

Constraint:

kl \geq 0

4: $ku$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

6: $ab [\dim]$ – doubleInput/Output

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

\max (1, pdab \times n)

On entry: the

n

n

coefficient matrix

A

This is stored as a notional two-dimensional array with row elements or column elements stored contiguously. The storage of elements

A_{i j}

, for row

i = 1, \dots, n

and column

j = \max (1, i - k_{l}), \dots, \min (n, i + k_{u})

, depends on the order argument as follows:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $A_{i j}$ is stored as $ab [(j - 1) \times pdab + kl + ku + i - j]$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $A_{i j}$ is stored as $ab [(i - 1) \times pdab + kl + j - i]$ .

See Section 9 for further details.

On exit: ab is overwritten by details of the factorization.

The elements,

u_{i j}

, of the upper triangular band factor

U

with

k_{l} + k_{u}

super-diagonals, and the multipliers,

l_{i j}

, used to form the lower triangular factor

L

are stored. The elements

u_{i j}

, for

i = 1, \dots, n

and

is stored on entry.

in the array ab.

P

; at the

i

th step row

i

of the matrix was interchanged with row

ipiv [i - 1]

ipiv [i - 1] = i

indicates a row interchange was not required.

9: $b [\dim]$ – 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 $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side,

\hat{x}

, satisfies an equation of the form

(A + E) \hat{x} = b,

where

{‖E‖}_{1} = O (ε) {‖A‖}_{1}

and

ε

is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by

\frac{{‖\hat{x} - x‖}_{1}}{{‖x‖}_{1}} \leq κ (A) \frac{{‖E‖}_{1}}{{‖A‖}_{1}},

where

κ (A) = {‖A^{- 1}‖}_{1} {‖A‖}_{1}

, the condition number of

A

with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

Following the use of nag_dgbsv (f07bac), nag_dgbcon (f07bgc) can be used to estimate the condition number of

A

and nag_dgbrfs (f07bhc) can be used to obtain approximate error bounds. Alternatives to nag_dgbsv (f07bac), which return condition and error estimates directly are nag_real_band_lin_solve (f04bbc) and nag_dgbsvx (f07bbc).

8

Parallelism and Performance

nag_dgbsv (f07bac) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_dgbsv (f07bac) 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.

Further Comments

The band storage scheme for the array ab is illustrated by the following example, when

n = 6

k_{l} = 1

, and

k_{u} = 2

. Storage of the band matrix

A

in the array ab:

\begin{matrix} order = Nag_ColMajor \\ \begin{matrix} * & * & * & + & + & + \\ * & * & a_{13} & a_{24} & a_{35} & a_{46} \\ * & a_{12} & a_{23} & a_{34} & a_{45} & a_{56} \\ a_{11} & a_{22} & a_{33} & a_{44} & a_{55} & a_{66} \\ a_{21} & a_{32} & a_{43} & a_{54} & a_{65} & * \end{matrix} \end{matrix} \begin{matrix} order = Nag_RowMajor \\ \begin{matrix} * & a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} & + \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} & a_{24} & + \\ a_{32} & a_{33} & a_{34} & a_{35} & + \\ a_{43} & a_{44} & a_{45} & a_{46} & * \\ a_{54} & a_{55} & a_{56} & * & * \\ a_{65} & a_{66} & * & * & * \end{matrix} \end{matrix}

Array elements marked

*

need not be set and are not referenced by the function. Array elements marked

+

need not be set, but are defined on exit from the function and contain the elements

u_{14}

u_{25}

and

u_{36}

The total number of floating-point operations required to solve the equations

A X = B

depends upon the pivoting required, but if

n ≫ k_{l} + k_{u}

then it is approximately bounded by

O (n k_{l} (k_{l} + k_{u}))

for the factorization and

O (n (2 k_{l} + k_{u}) r)

for the solution following the factorization.

The complex analogue of this function is nag_zgbsv (f07bnc).

Example

This example solves the equations

A x = b,

where

A

is the band matrix

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 0.23 & 2.54 & - 3.66 & 0 \\ - 6.98 & 2.46 & - 2.73 & - 2.13 \\ 0 & 2.56 & 2.46 & 4.07 \\ 0 & 0 & - 4.78 & - 3.82 \end{array}) and b = (\begin{matrix} 4.42 \\ 27.13 \\ - 6.14 \\ 10.50 \end{matrix}) .
