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:     uplo – Nag_UploTypeInput

On entry: specifies how $A$ has been factorized.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$

$A=U^{\mathrm{T}}U$, where $U$ is upper triangular.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$

$A=L{L}^{\mathrm{T}}$, where $L$ is lower triangular.

Constraint: $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$.

3:     n – IntegerInput

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

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

4:     ap[$\mathit{dim}$] – doubleInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ap must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\times \left(\mathbf{n}+1\right)/2\right)$.

On entry: the Cholesky factor of $A$ stored in packed form, as returned by nag_dpptrf (f07gdc).

On exit: the factorization is overwritten by the $n$ by $n$ matrix $A^{-1}$.

The storage of elements $A_{ij}$ depends on the order and uplo arguments as follows:

• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$,
            $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ap}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times j/2+i-1\right]$, for $i\le j$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$,
            $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ap}\left[\left(2n-j\right)\times \left(j-1\right)/2+i-1\right]$, for $i\ge j$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$,
            $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ap}\left[\left(2n-i\right)\times \left(i-1\right)/2+j-1\right]$, for $i\le j$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$,
            $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ap}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times i/2+j-1\right]$, for $i\ge j$.

5:     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: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

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

Diagonal element $⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ of the Cholesky factor is zero; the Cholesky factor is singular and the inverse of $A$ cannot be computed.
