Description

nag_superlu_solve_lu (f11mfc) solves a real system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides

A X = B

A^{T} X = B

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

P_{r} A P_{c} = L U

corresponds to an

L U

decomposition of a sparse matrix stored in compressed column (Harwell–Boeing) format, as computed by nag_superlu_lu_factorize (f11mec).

In the above decomposition

L

is a lower triangular sparse matrix with unit diagonal elements and

U

is an upper triangular sparse matrix;

P_{r}

and

P_{c}

are permutation matrices.

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

|E| \leq c (n) ε |L| |U|,

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision, when partial pivoting is used.

\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)

, and

cond (A^{T})

can be much larger (or smaller) than

cond (A)

Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling nag_superlu_refine_lu (f11mhc), and an estimate for

κ_{\infty} (A)

can be obtained by calling nag_superlu_condition_number_lu (f11mgc).

Parallelism and Performance

nag_superlu_solve_lu (f11mfc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_superlu_solve_lu (f11mfc) 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

nag_superlu_solve_lu (f11mfc) may be followed by a call to nag_superlu_refine_lu (f11mhc) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.

Example

This example solves the system of equations

A X = B

, where

A = (\begin{matrix} 2.00 & 1.00 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1.00 & - 1.00 & 0 \\ 4.00 & 0 & 1.00 & 0 & 1.00 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1.00 & 2.00 \\ 0 & - 2.00 & 0 & 0 & 3.00 \end{matrix}) and B = (\begin{matrix} 1.56 & 3.12 \\ - 0.25 & - 0.50 \\ 3.60 & 7.20 \\ 1.33 & 2.66 \\ 0.52 & 1.04 \end{matrix}) .

Here

A

is nonsymmetric and must first be factorized by nag_superlu_lu_factorize (f11mec).
