1  Purpose

F07TWF (ZTRTRI) computes the inverse of a complex triangular matrix.

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F07TWF ( UPLO, DIAG, N, A, LDA, INFO)
INTEGER  N, LDA, INFO
COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)  A(LDA,*)
CHARACTER(1)  UPLO, DIAG
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name ztrtri.

3  Description

F07TWF (ZTRTRI) forms the inverse of a complex triangular matrix A. Note that the inverse of an upper (lower) triangular matrix is also upper (lower) triangular.

5  Parameters

1:     UPLO – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: specifies whether A is upper or lower triangular.
UPLO='U'
A is upper triangular.
UPLO='L'
A is lower triangular.
Constraint: UPLO='U' or 'L'.
2:     DIAG – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: indicates whether A is a nonunit or unit triangular matrix.
DIAG='N'
A is a nonunit triangular matrix.
DIAG='U'
A is a unit triangular matrix; the diagonal elements are not referenced and are assumed to be 1.
Constraint: DIAG='N' or 'U'.
3:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: N0.
4:     A(LDA,*) – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array A must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the n by n triangular matrix A.
  • If UPLO='U', A is upper triangular and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
  • If UPLO='L', A is lower triangular and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
  • If DIAG='U', the diagonal elements of A are assumed to be 1, and are not referenced.
On exit: A is overwritten by A-1, using the same storage format as described above.
5:     LDA – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array A as declared in the (sub)program from which F07TWF (ZTRTRI) is called.
Constraint: LDAmax1,N.
6:     INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit: INFO=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
INFO<0
If INFO=-i, the ith parameter had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
INFO>0
If INFO=i, ai,i is exactly zero; A is singular and its inverse cannot be computed.

7  Accuracy

The computed inverse X satisfies
XA-IcnεXA ,
where cn is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.
Note that a similar bound for AX-I cannot be guaranteed, although it is almost always satisfied.
The computed inverse satisfies the forward error bound
X-A-1cnεA-1AX .
See Du Croz and Higham (1992).

8  Further Comments

The total number of real floating point operations is approximately 43n3.
The real analogue of this routine is F07TJF (DTRTRI).

9  Example

This example computes the inverse of the matrix A, where
A= 4.78+4.56i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 2.00-0.30i -4.11+1.25i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 2.89-1.34i 2.36-4.25i 4.15+0.80i 0.00+0.00i -1.89+1.15i 0.04-3.69i -0.02+0.46i 0.33-0.26i .
