#include nagmk26.h
void  f07asf_ ( const char *trans, const Integer *n, const Integer *nrhs, const Complex a[], const Integer *lda, const Integer ipiv[], Complex b[], const Integer *ldb, Integer *info, const Charlen length_trans)

Description

f07asf (zgetrs) is used to solve a complex system of linear equations AX=B, ATX=B or AHX=B, the routine must be preceded by a call to f07arf (zgetrf) which computes the LU factorization of A as A=PLU. The solution is computed by forward and backward substitution.
If trans='N', the solution is computed by solving PLY=B and then UX=Y.
If trans='T', the solution is computed by solving UTY=B and then LTPTX=Y.
If trans='C', the solution is computed by solving UHY=B and then LHPTX=Y.

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.

Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector b, the computed solution x is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations A+Ex=b, where
EcnεPLU ,  
cn is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.
If x^ is the true solution, then the computed solution x satisfies a forward error bound of the form
x-x^ x cncondA,xε  
where condA,x = A-1 A x / x condA = A-1 A κ A .
Note that condA,x can be much smaller than condA, and condAH (which is the same as condAT) can be much larger (or smaller) than condA.
Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling f07avf (zgerfs), and an estimate for κA can be obtained by calling f07auf (zgecon) with norm='I'.

Parallelism and Performance

f07asf (zgetrs) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f07asf (zgetrs) 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 real floating-point operations is approximately 8n2r.
This routine may be followed by a call to f07avf (zgerfs) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The real analogue of this routine is f07aef (dgetrs).

Example

This example solves the system of equations AX=B, where
A= -1.34+2.55i 0.28+3.17i -6.39-2.20i 0.72-0.92i -0.17-1.41i 3.31-0.15i -0.15+1.34i 1.29+1.38i -3.29-2.39i -1.91+4.42i -0.14-1.35i 1.72+1.35i 2.41+0.39i -0.56+1.47i -0.83-0.69i -1.96+0.67i  
and
B= 26.26+51.78i 31.32-06.70i 6.43-08.68i 15.86-01.42i -5.75+25.31i -2.15+30.19i 1.16+02.57i -2.56+07.55i .  
Here A is nonsymmetric and must first be factorized by f07arf (zgetrf).
