5  Parameters

1:     TRANS – CHARACTER(1)Input

On entry: specifies the equations to be solved.

$\mathbf{TRANS}=\text{'N'}$

Solve $AX=B$.

$\mathbf{TRANS}=\text{'T'}$

Solve $A^{\mathrm{T}}X=B$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{TRANS}=\text{'N'}$ or $\text{'T'}$.

2:     N – INTEGERInput

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

Constraint: $\mathbf{N}>0$.

3:     NBLOKS – INTEGERInput

On entry: the total number of blocks of the matrix $A$, as supplied to F04LHF.

Constraint: $0<\mathbf{NBLOKS}\le \mathbf{N}$.

4:     BLKSTR($3$,NBLOKS) – INTEGER arrayInput

On entry: information which describes the block structure of $A$, as supplied to F04LHF.

5:     A(LENA) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput

On entry: the elements in the factorization of $A$, as returned by F04LHF.

6:     LENA – INTEGERInput

On entry: the dimension of the array A as declared in the (sub)program from which F04LHF is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{LENA}\ge {\displaystyle \sum _{k=1}^{\mathbf{NBLOKS}}}\mathbf{BLKSTR}\left(1,k\right)\times \mathbf{BLKSTR}\left(2,k\right)$.

7:     PIVOT(N) – INTEGER arrayInput

On entry: details of the interchanges in the factorization, as returned by F04LHF.

8:     B(LDB,IR) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output

On entry: the $n$ by $r$ right-hand side matrix $B$.

On exit: B is overwritten by the $n$ by $r$ solution matrix $X$.

9:     LDB – INTEGERInput

On entry: the first dimension of the array B as declared in the (sub)program from which F04LHF is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{LDB}\ge \mathbf{N}$.

10:   IR – INTEGERInput

On entry: $r$, the number of right-hand sides.

Constraint: $\mathbf{IR}>0$.

11:   IFAIL – INTEGERInput/Output

On entry: IFAIL must be set to $0$, $-1\text{ or }1$. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{ or }1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is $0$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{ or }\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.

On exit: $\mathbf{IFAIL}=\mathbf{0}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

$\mathbf{IFAIL}=1$

On entry,	$\mathbf{N}<1$,
or	$\mathbf{NBLOKS}<1$,
or	$\mathbf{IR}<1$,
or	$\mathbf{LDB}<\mathbf{N}$,
or	$\mathbf{N}<\mathbf{NBLOKS}$,
or	LENA is too small,
or	illegal values detected in BLKSTR,
or	$\mathbf{TRANS}\ne \text{'N'}$ or $\text{'T'}$.
