Description

f11def solves a real sparse nonsymmetric system of linear equations
Ax=b,  
using an RGMRES (see Saad and Schultz (1986)), CGS (see Sonneveld (1989)), Bi-CGSTAB() (see Van der Vorst (1989) and Sleijpen and Fokkema (1993)), or TFQMR (see Freund and Nachtigal (1991) and Freund (1993)) method.
The routine allows the following choices for the preconditioner:
For incomplete LU (ILU) preconditioning see f11dcf.
The matrix A is represented in coordinate storage (CS) format (see Section 2.1.1 in the F11 Chapter Introduction) in the arrays a, irow and icol. The array a holds the nonzero entries in the matrix, while irow and icol hold the corresponding row and column indices.
f11def is a Black Box routine which calls f11bdf, f11bef and f11bff. If you wish to use an alternative storage scheme, preconditioner, or termination criterion, or require additional diagnostic information, you should call these underlying routines directly.

10:   m – IntegerInput

18:   iwork2×n+1 – Integer arrayWorkspace
19:   ifail – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1. 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 -1 or 1 is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is 0. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

On entry, m=value and n=value.
Constraint: m1 and mMINn,value.
On entry, maxitn=value.
Constraint: maxitn1.
On entry, method=value.
Constraint: method='RGMRES', 'CGS' or 'BICGSTAB'.

ifail=3
The matrix A has a zero diagonal entry in row value.
The matrix A has no diagonal entry in row value.
Jacobi and SSOR preconditioners are not appropriate for this problem.
ifail=4
The required accuracy could not be obtained. However, a reasonable accuracy may have been achieved.
This error code usually implies that your problem has been fully and satisfactorily solved to within or close to the accuracy available on your system. Further iterations are unlikely to improve on this situation.
ifail=5
The solution has not converged after value iterations.
ifail=6
Algorithmic breakdown. A solution is returned, although it is possible that it is completely inaccurate.
ifail=7
A serious error has occurred in an internal call: ifail=value. Check all subroutine calls and array sizes. Seek expert help.
A serious error has occurred in an internal call: IREVCM=value. Check all subroutine calls and array sizes. Seek expert help.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.

Accuracy

On successful termination, the final residual rk=b-Axk, where k=itn, satisfies the termination criterion
rkτ×b+Axk.  
The value of the final residual norm is returned in rnorm.

8
Parallelism and Performance

f11def is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f11def 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 time taken by f11def for each iteration is roughly proportional to nnz.
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 coefficient matrix A-=m-1A.
