NAG Toolbox: nag_lapack_dpptrs (f07ge)
Purpose
nag_lapack_dpptrs (f07ge) solves a real symmetric positive definite system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,
where
has been factorized by
nag_lapack_dpptrf (f07gd), using packed storage.
Syntax
Description
nag_lapack_dpptrs (f07ge) is used to solve a real symmetric positive definite system of linear equations
, the function must be preceded by a call to
nag_lapack_dpptrf (f07gd) which computes the Cholesky factorization of
, using packed storage. The solution
is computed by forward and backward substitution.
If , , where is upper triangular; the solution is computed by solving and then .
If , , where is lower triangular; the solution is computed by solving and then .

Accuracy
For each right-hand side vector
, the computed solution
is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations
, where
- if , ;
- if , ,
is a modest linear function of

is the
machine precisionIf
is the true solution, then the computed solution
satisfies a forward error bound of the form
where
.
Note that can be much smaller than .
Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling
nag_lapack_dpprfs (f07gh), and an estimate for

) can be obtained by calling
nag_lapack_dppcon (f07gg).
Further Comments
The total number of floating-point operations is approximately .
This function may be followed by a call to
nag_lapack_dpprfs (f07gh) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The complex analogue of this function is
nag_lapack_zpptrs (f07gs).
Example
This example solves the system of equations
