Description

nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) solves a system of linear equations

\begin{matrix} M x = y, & or & M^{T} x = y, \end{matrix}

according to the value of the argument trans, where the matrix

M = P L D U Q

, corresponds to an incomplete

L U

decomposition of a sparse matrix stored in coordinate storage (CS) format (see Section 2.1.1 in the f11 Chapter Introduction), as generated by nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac).

In the above decomposition

L

is a lower triangular sparse matrix with unit diagonal elements,

D

is a diagonal matrix,

U

is an upper triangular sparse matrix with unit diagonal elements and,

P

and

Q

are permutation matrices.

L

D

and

U

are supplied to nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) through the matrix

C = L + D^{- 1} + U - 2 I

which is an n by n sparse matrix, stored in CS format, as returned by nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac). The permutation matrices

P

and

Q

are returned from nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac) via the arrays ipivp and ipivq.

It is envisaged that a common use of nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) will be to carry out the preconditioning step required in the application of nag_sparse_nsym_basic_solver (f11bec) to sparse linear systems. nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) is used for this purpose by the Black Box function nag_sparse_nsym_fac_sol (f11dcc).

nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) may also be used in combination with nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac) to solve a sparse system of linear equations directly (see Section 9.5 in nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac)). This use of nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) is demonstrated in Section 10.

Accuracy

trans = Nag_NoTrans

the computed solution

x

is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations

(M + δ M) x = y

, where

|δ M| \leq c (n) ε P |L| |D| |U| Q,

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

Further Comments

9.1

Timing

The time taken for a call to nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) is proportional to the value of nnzc returned from nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac).

9.2

Use of check

It is expected that a common use of nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) will be to carry out the preconditioning step required in the application of nag_sparse_nsym_basic_solver (f11bec) to sparse linear systems. In this situation nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) is likely to be called many times with the same matrix

M

. In the interests of both reliability and efficiency, you are recommended to set

check = Nag_SparseNsym_Check

for the first of such calls, and for all subsequent calls set

check = Nag_SparseNsym_NoCheck

Example

This example reads in a sparse nonsymmetric matrix

A

and a vector

y

. It then calls nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac), with

lfill = - 1

and

dtol = 0.0

, to compute the complete

L U

decomposition

A = P L D U Q .

Finally it calls nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) to solve the system

P L D U Q x = y .
