Description
Given a set of real linear equations, , the routine first computes an factorization of with partial pivoting, , where is a permutation matrix, is lower triangular and is unit upper triangular. An approximation to is found by forward and backward substitution in and . The residual vector is then calculated using additional precision, and a correction to is found by solving . is replaced by , and this iterative refinement of the solution is repeated until full machine accuracy is obtained.

On entry:
ifail must be set to
,
. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to
Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation 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 argument, 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).

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:
-
The matrix is singular, possibly due to rounding errors.
-
Iterative refinement fails to improve the solution, i.e., the matrix is too ill-conditioned.
-
On entry, | , |

Parallelism and Performance
f04atf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f04atf 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.
The time taken by f04atf is approximately proportional to .
The routine
must not be called with the same name for arguments
b and
c.
