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

2:    $\mathbf{uplo}$ – Nag_UploTypeInput

On entry: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of $A$ is stored and how $A$ is to be factorized.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$

The upper triangular part of $A$ is stored and $A$ is factorized as $U^{\mathrm{T}}U$, where $U$ is upper triangular.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$

The lower triangular part of $A$ is stored and $A$ is factorized as $L{L}^{\mathrm{T}}$, where $L$ is lower triangular.

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

3:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the order of the matrix $A$.

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

4:    $\mathbf{kd}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $k_d$, the number of superdiagonals or subdiagonals of the matrix $A$.

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

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

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

On entry: the $n$ by $n$ symmetric positive definite band matrix $A$.

This is stored as a notional two-dimensional array with row elements or column elements stored contiguously. The storage of elements of $A_{ij}$, depends on the order and uplo arguments as follows:

• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$,
            $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ab}\left[k_d+i-j+\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdab}\right]$, for $j=1,\dots ,n$ and $i=\max \left(1,j-k_d\right),\dots ,j$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$,
            $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ab}\left[i-j+\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdab}\right]$, for $j=1,\dots ,n$ and $i=j,\dots ,\min \left(n,j+k_d\right)$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$,
            $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ab}\left[j-i+\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdab}\right]$, for $i=1,\dots ,n$ and $j=i,\dots ,\min \left(n,i+k_d\right)$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$,
            $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ab}\left[k_d+j-i+\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdab}\right]$, for $i=1,\dots ,n$ and $j=\max \left(1,i-k_d\right),\dots ,i$.

On exit: the upper or lower triangle of $A$ is overwritten by the Cholesky factor $U$ or $L$ as specified by uplo, using the same storage format as described above.

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

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

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL

Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 2.3.1.2 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

NE_BAD_PARAM

On entry, argument $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ had an illegal value.

NE_INT

On entry, $\mathbf{kd}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{kd}\ge 0$.

On entry, $\mathbf{n}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

On entry, $\mathbf{pdab}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{pdab}>0$.

NE_INT_2

On entry, $\mathbf{pdab}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and $\mathbf{kd}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{pdab}\ge \mathbf{kd}+1$.

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.
See Section 2.7.6 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

NE_NO_LICENCE

Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 2.7.5 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

NE_POS_DEF

The leading minor of order $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ is not positive definite and the factorization could not be completed. Hence $A$ itself is not positive definite. This may indicate an error in forming the matrix $A$. There is no function specifically designed to factorize a symmetric band matrix which is not positive definite; the matrix must be treated either as a nonsymmetric band matrix, by calling nag_dgbtrf (f07bdc) or as a full symmetric matrix, by calling nag_dsytrf (f07mdc).
