Description

f07as is used to solve a complex system of linear equations AX=B, ATX=B or AHX=B, the method must be preceded by a call to f07ar which computes the LU factorization of A as A=PLU. The solution is computed by forward and backward substitution.
If trans="N", the solution is computed by solving PLY=B and then UX=Y.
If trans="T", the solution is computed by solving UTY=B and then LTPTX=Y.
If trans="C", the solution is computed by solving UHY=B and then LHPTX=Y.

Error Indicators and Warnings

Some error messages may refer to parameters that are dropped from this interface (LDA, LDB) In these cases, an error in another parameter has usually caused an incorrect value to be inferred.
info<0
If info=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
ifail=-9000
An error occured, see message report.
ifail=-6000
Invalid Parameters value
ifail=-4000
Invalid dimension for array value
ifail=-8000
Negative dimension for array value
ifail=-6000
Invalid Parameters value
ifail=-6000
Invalid Parameters value

Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector b, the computed solution x is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations A+Ex=b, where
E≤cnεPLU,
cn is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.
If x^ is the true solution, then the computed solution x satisfies a forward error bound of the form
x-x^∞x∞≤cncondA,xε
where condA,x=A-1Ax∞/x∞≤condA=A-1A∞≤κ∞A.
Note that condA,x can be much smaller than condA, and condAH (which is the same as condAT) can be much larger (or smaller) than condA.
Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling (F07AVF not in this release), and an estimate for κ∞A can be obtained by calling (F07AUF not in this release) with norm="I".

Parallelism and Performance

None.

Further Comments

The total number of real floating-point operations is approximately 8⁢n2r.
This method may be followed by a call to (F07AVF not in this release) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The real analogue of this method is (F07AEF not in this release).
