1  Purpose

F07WWF (ZPFTRI) computes the inverse of a complex Hermitian positive definite matrix using the Cholesky factorization computed by F07WRF (ZPFTRF) and stored in Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) format. The RFP storage format is described in Section 3.3.3 in the F07 Chapter Introduction.

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F07WWF ( TRANSR, UPLO, N, A, INFO)
INTEGER  N, INFO
COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)  A(N*(N+1)/2)
CHARACTER(1)  TRANSR, UPLO
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name zpftri.

3  Description

F07WWF (ZPFTRI) is used to compute the inverse of a complex Hermitian positive definite matrix A, the routine must be preceded by a call to F07WRF (ZPFTRF), which computes the Cholesky factorization of A.
If UPLO='U', A=UHU and A-1 is computed by first inverting U and then forming U-1U-H.
If UPLO='L', A=LLH and A-1 is computed by first inverting L and then forming L-HL-1.

5  Parameters

1:     TRANSR – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: specifies whether the normal RFP representation of A or its conjugate transpose is stored.
TRANSR='N'
The matrix A is stored in normal RFP format.
TRANSR='C'
The conjugate transpose of the RFP representation of the matrix A is stored.
Constraint: TRANSR='N' or 'C'.
2:     UPLO – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: specifies how A has been factorized.
UPLO='U'
A=UHU, where U is upper triangular.
UPLO='L'
A=LLH, where L is lower triangular.
Constraint: UPLO='U' or 'L'.
3:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: N0.
4:     A(N×N+1/2) – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
On entry: the Cholesky factorization of A stored in RFP format, as returned by F07WRF (ZPFTRF).
On exit: the factorization is overwritten by the n by n matrix A-1 stored in RFP format.
5:     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, the ith diagonal element of the Cholesky factor is zero; the Cholesky factor is singular and the inverse of A cannot be computed.

7  Accuracy

The computed inverse X satisfies
XA-I2cnεκ2A   and   AX-I2cnεκ2A ,
where cn is a modest function of n, ε is the machine precision and κ2A is the condition number of A defined by
κ2A=A2A-12 .

8  Further Comments

The total number of real floating point operations is approximately 83n3.
The real analogue of this routine is F07WJF (DPFTRI).

9  Example

This example computes the inverse of the matrix A, where
A= 3.23+0.00i 1.51-1.92i 1.90+0.84i 0.42+2.50i 1.51+1.92i 3.58+0.00i -0.23+1.11i -1.18+1.37i 1.90-0.84i -0.23-1.11i 4.09+0.00i 2.33-0.14i 0.42-2.50i -1.18-1.37i 2.33+0.14i 4.29+0.00i .
Here A is Hermitian positive definite, stored in RFP format, and must first be factorized by F07WRF (ZPFTRF).
