3 Description
F11JEF solves a real sparse symmetric linear system of equations
using a preconditioned conjugate gradient method (see
Barrett et al. (1994)), or a preconditioned Lanczos method based on the algorithm SYMMLQ (see
Paige and Saunders (1975)). The conjugate gradient method is more efficient if
is positive definite, but may fail to converge for indefinite matrices. In this case the Lanczos method should be used instead. For further details see
Barrett et al. (1994).
The routine allows the following choices for the preconditioner:
- no preconditioning;
- Jacobi preconditioning (see Young (1971));
- symmetric successive-over-relaxation (SSOR) preconditioning (see Young (1971)).
For incomplete Cholesky (IC) preconditioning see
F11JCF.
The matrix
is represented in symmetric coordinate storage (SCS) format (see
Section 2.1.2 in the F11 Chapter Introduction) in the arrays
A,
IROW and
ICOL. The array
A holds the nonzero entries in the lower triangular part of the matrix, while
IROW and
ICOL hold the corresponding row and column indices.

On entry:
IFAIL must be set to

. 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
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit:
unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see
Section 6).
6 Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry
or
, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by
X04AAF).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
On entry, | or , |

On entry, the arrays
IROW and
ICOL fail to satisfy the following constraints:
- and , for ;
- , or and , for .
Therefore a nonzero element has been supplied which does not lie in the lower triangular part of
, is out of order, or has duplicate row and column indices. Call
F11ZBF to reorder and sum or remove duplicates.
On entry, the matrix has a zero diagonal element. Jacobi and SSOR preconditioners are not appropriate for this problem.
The required accuracy could not be obtained. However, a reasonable accuracy has been obtained and further iterations could not improve the result.
Required accuracy not obtained in
MAXITN iterations.
The preconditioner appears not to be positive definite.
The matrix of the coefficients appears not to be positive definite (conjugate gradient method only).
- (F11GDF, F11GEF or F11GFF)
A serious error has occurred in an internal call to one of the specified routines. Check all subroutine calls and array sizes. Seek expert help.
7 Accuracy
On successful termination, the final residual
, where
, satisfies the termination criterion
The value of the final residual norm is returned in
RNORM.
The time taken by F11JEF for each iteration is roughly proportional to
NNZ. One iteration with the Lanczos method (SYMMLQ) requires a slightly larger number of operations than one iteration with the conjugate gradient method.
The number of iterations required to achieve a prescribed accuracy cannot be easily determined a priori, as it can depend dramatically on the conditioning and spectrum of the preconditioned matrix of the coefficients .
