5  Arguments

1:     order – Nag_OrderTypeInput

On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$. See Section 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint: $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$.

2:     n – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the order of the matrix $A$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}>0$.

3:     a[$\mathit{dim}$] – const doubleInput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least $\mathbf{pda}\times \mathbf{n}$.

The $\left(i,j\right)$th element of the factorized form of the matrix $A$ is stored in

• $\mathbf{a}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pda}+i-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\mathbf{a}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pda}+j-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

On entry: the $n$ by $n$ matrix $A$ in factorized form as returned by nag_dgetrf (f07adc).

4:     pda – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.

Constraint: $\mathbf{pda}\ge \mathbf{n}$.

5:     ipiv[n] – const IntegerInput

On entry: the row interchanges used to factorize matrix $A$ as returned by nag_dgetrf (f07adc).

6:     d – double *Output

7:     id – Integer *Output

On exit: the determinant of $A$ is given by $\mathbf{d}\times {2.0}^{\mathbf{id}}$. It is given in this form to avoid overflow or underflow.

8:     fail – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_BAD_PARAM

On entry, argument $⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ had an illegal value.

NE_INT

On entry, $\mathbf{n}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 1$.

NE_INT_2

On entry, $\mathbf{pda}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ and $\mathbf{n}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{pda}\ge \mathbf{n}$.

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR

An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.

NE_SINGULAR

The matrix $A$ is approximately singular.
