Description

f07cpf (zgtsvx) performs the following steps:

1.	If $fact ='N'$ , the $L U$ decomposition is used to factor the matrix $A$ as $A = L U$ , where $L$ is a product of permutation and unit lower bidiagonal matrices and $U$ is upper triangular with nonzeros in only the main diagonal and first two superdiagonals.
2.	If some $u_{i i} = 0$ , so that $U$ is exactly singular, then the routine returns with $info = i$ . Otherwise, the factored form of $A$ is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix $A$ . If the reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision, $info = n + 1$ is returned as a warning, but the routine still goes on to solve for $X$ and compute error bounds as described below.
3.	The system of equations is solved for $X$ using the factored form of $A$ .
4.	Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and to calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.

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.

$info > 0 and info < n$: Element $〈value〉$ of the diagonal is exactly zero. The factorization has not been completed, but the factor $U$ is exactly singular, so the solution and error bounds could not be computed. $rcond = 0.0$ is returned.

$info > 0 and info = n$: Element $〈value〉$ of the diagonal is exactly zero. The factorization has been completed, but the factor $U$ is exactly singular, so the solution and error bounds could not be computed. $rcond = 0.0$ is returned.

$info = n + 1$: $U$ is nonsingular, but rcond is less than machine precision, meaning that the matrix is singular to working precision. Nevertheless, the solution and error bounds are computed because there are a number of situations where the computed solution can be more accurate than the value of rcond would suggest.

7

Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector

b

, the computed solution

\hat{x}

is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations

(A + E) \hat{x} = b

, where

|E| \leq c (n) ε |L| |U|,

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision. See Section 9.3 of Higham (2002) for further details.

x

is the true solution, then the computed solution

\hat{x}

satisfies a forward error bound of the form

\frac{{‖x - \hat{x}‖}_{\infty}}{{‖\hat{x}‖}_{\infty}} \leq w_{c} cond (A, \hat{x}, b)

where

cond (A, \hat{x}, b) = {‖|A^{- 1}| (|A| |\hat{x}| + |b|)‖}_{\infty} / {‖\hat{x}‖}_{\infty} \leq cond (A) = {‖|A^{- 1}| |A|‖}_{\infty} \leq κ_{\infty} (A)

. If

\hat{x}

is the

j

th column of

X

, then

w_{c}

is returned in

berr (j)

and a bound on

{‖x - \hat{x}‖}_{\infty} / {‖\hat{x}‖}_{\infty}

is returned in

ferr (j)

. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

Parallelism and Performance

f07cpf (zgtsvx) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07cpf (zgtsvx) 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.

Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations required to solve the equations

A X = B

is proportional to

n r

The condition number estimation typically requires between four and five solves and never more than eleven solves, following the factorization. The solution is then refined, and the errors estimated, using iterative refinement.

In practice the condition number estimator is very reliable, but it can underestimate the true condition number; see Section 15.3 of Higham (2002) for further details.

The real analogue of this routine is f07cbf (dgtsvx).

Example

This example solves the equations

A X = B,

where

A

is the tridiagonal matrix

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 1.3 + 1.3 i & 2.0 - 1.0 i & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1.0 - 2.0 i & - 1.3 + 1.3 i & 2.0 + 1.0 i & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1.0 + 1.0 i & - 1.3 + 3.3 i & - 1.0 + 1.0 i & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2.0 - 3.0 i & - 0.3 + 4.3 i & 1.0 - 1.0 i \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1.0 + 1.0 i & - 3.3 + 1.3 i \end{array})

and

B = (\begin{array}{r} 2.4 - 5.0 i & 2.7 + 6.9 i \\ 3.4 + 18.2 i & - 6.9 - 5.3 i \\ - 14.7 + 9.7 i & - 6.0 - 0.6 i \\ 31.9 - 7.7 i & - 3.9 + 9.3 i \\ - 1.0 + 1.6 i & - 3.0 + 12.2 i \end{array}) .

Estimates for the backward errors, forward errors and condition number are also output.
