1  Purpose

F07JNF (ZPTSV) computes the solution to a complex system of linear equations
AX=B ,  
where A is an n by n Hermitian positive definite tridiagonal matrix, and X and B are n by r matrices.

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F07JNF ( N, NRHS, D, E, B, LDB, INFO)
INTEGER  N, NRHS, LDB, INFO
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  D(*)
COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)  E(*), B(LDB,*)
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name zptsv.

3  Description

F07JNF (ZPTSV) factors A as A=LDLH. The factored form of A is then used to solve the system of equations.

5  Parameters

1:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: N0.
2:     NRHS – INTEGERInput
On entry: r, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix B.
Constraint: NRHS0.
3:     D* – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the dimension of the array D must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the n diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.
On exit: the n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D from the factorization A=LDLH.
4:     E* – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the dimension of the array E must be at least max1,N-1.
On entry: the n-1 subdiagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.
On exit: the n-1 subdiagonal elements of the unit bidiagonal factor L from the LDLH factorization of A. (E can also be regarded as the superdiagonal of the unit bidiagonal factor U from the UHDU factorization of A.)
5:     BLDB* – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array B must be at least max1,NRHS.
On entry: the n by r right-hand side matrix B.
On exit: if INFO=0, the n by r solution matrix X.
6:     LDB – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array B as declared in the (sub)program from which F07JNF (ZPTSV) is called.
Constraint: LDBmax1,N.
7:     INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit: INFO=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

INFO<0
If INFO=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
INFO>0
The leading minor of order value is not positive definite, and the solution has not been computed. The factorization has not been completed unless N=value.

7  Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side, x^ , satisfies an equation of the form
A+E x^=b ,  
where
E1 = Oε A1  
and ε  is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by
x^-x1 x1 κA E1 A1 ,  
where κ A = A-11 A1 , the condition number of A  with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
F07JPF (ZPTSVX) is a comprehensive LAPACK driver that returns forward and backward error bounds and an estimate of the condition number. Alternatively, F04CGF solves Ax=b  and returns a forward error bound and condition estimate. F04CGF calls F07JNF (ZPTSV) to solve the equations.

8  Parallelism and Performance

F07JNF (ZPTSV) is not threaded by NAG in any implementation.
F07JNF (ZPTSV) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9  Further Comments

The number of floating-point operations required for the factorization of A  is proportional to n , and the number of floating-point operations required for the solution of the equations is proportional to nr , where r  is the number of right-hand sides.
The real analogue of this routine is F07JAF (DPTSV).

10  Example

This example solves the equations
Ax=b ,  
where A  is the Hermitian positive definite tridiagonal matrix
A = 16.0i+00.0 16.0-16.0i 0.0i+0.0 0.0i+0.0 16.0+16.0i 41.0i+00.0 18.0+9.0i 0.0i+0.0 0.0i+00.0 18.0-09.0i 46.0i+0.0 1.0+4.0i 0.0i+00.0 0.0i+00.0 1.0-4.0i 21.0i+0.0  
and
b = 64.0+16.0i 93.0+62.0i 78.0-80.0i 14.0-27.0i .  
Details of the LDLH  factorization of A  are also output.
