NAG Toolbox: nag_lapack_zgbrfs (f07bv)
Purpose
nag_lapack_zgbrfs (f07bv) returns error bounds for the solution of a complex band system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides, , or . It improves the solution by iterative refinement, in order to reduce the backward error as much as possible.

Description
nag_lapack_zgbrfs (f07bv) returns the backward errors and estimated bounds on the forward errors for the solution of a complex band system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides , or . The function handles each right-hand side vector (stored as a column of the matrix ) independently, so we describe the function of nag_lapack_zgbrfs (f07bv) in terms of a single right-hand side and solution .
Given a computed solution
, the function computes the
component-wise
backward error
. This is the size of the smallest relative perturbation in each element of
and
such that
is the exact solution of a perturbed system
Then the function estimates a bound for the
component-wise forward
error in the computed solution, defined by:
where
is the true solution.
For details of the method, see the
F07 Chapter Introduction.

If , argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
Accuracy
The bounds returned in
ferr are not rigorous, because they are estimated, not computed exactly; but in practice they almost always overestimate the actual error.
Further Comments
For each right-hand side, computation of the backward error involves a minimum of real floating-point operations. Each step of iterative refinement involves an additional real operations. This assumes and . At most five steps of iterative refinement are performed, but usually only one or two steps are required.
Estimating the forward error involves solving a number of systems of linear equations of the form or ; the number is usually and never more than . Each solution involves approximately real operations.
The real analogue of this function is
nag_lapack_dgbrfs (f07bh).
