NAG Toolbox: nag_lapack_zpotrs (f07fs)
Purpose
nag_lapack_zpotrs (f07fs) solves a complex Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,
where
has been factorized by
nag_lapack_zpotrf (f07fr).
Syntax
Description
nag_lapack_zpotrs (f07fs) is used to solve a complex Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations
, this function must be preceded by a call to
nag_lapack_zpotrf (f07fr) which computes the Cholesky factorization of
. 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
, and
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_zporfs (f07fv), and an estimate for

) can be obtained by calling
nag_lapack_zpocon (f07fu).
Further Comments
The total number of real floating-point operations is approximately .
This function may be followed by a call to
nag_lapack_zporfs (f07fv) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The real analogue of this function is
nag_lapack_dpotrs (f07fe).
