nag_zpbsv (f07hnc)

void	nag_zpbsv (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer kd, Integer nrhs, Complex ab[], Integer pdab, Complex b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

3 Description

nag_zpbsv (f07hnc) uses the Cholesky decomposition to factor

A

A = U^{H} U

uplo = Nag_Upper

A = L L^{H}

uplo = Nag_Lower

, where

U

is an upper triangular band matrix, and

L

is a lower triangular band matrix, with the same number of superdiagonals or subdiagonals as

A

. The factored form of

A

is then used to solve the system of equations

A X = B

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

order = Nag_RowMajor

. See Section 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: uplo – Nag_UploTypeInput

On entry: if

uplo = Nag_Upper

, the upper triangle of

A

is stored.

uplo = Nag_Lower

, the lower triangle of

A

is stored.

Constraint:

uplo = Nag_Upper

Nag_Lower

3: n – IntegerInput

On entry:

n

, the number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: kd – IntegerInput

On entry:

k_{d}

, the number of superdiagonals of the matrix

A

uplo = Nag_Upper

, or the number of subdiagonals if

uplo = Nag_Lower

Constraint:

kd \geq 0

5: nrhs – IntegerInput

On entry:

r

, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix

B

Constraint:

nrhs \geq 0

6: ab[ $\dim$ ] – ComplexInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ab must be at least

\max (1, pdab \times n)

On entry: the upper or lower triangle of the Hermitian band matrix

A

This is stored as a notional two-dimensional array with row elements or column elements stored contiguously. The storage of elements of

A_{i j}

, depends on the order and uplo arguments as follows:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ and $uplo = Nag_Upper$ ,
$A_{i j}$ is stored in $ab [k_{d} + i - j + (j - 1) \times pdab]$ , for $j = 1, \dots, n$ and $i = \max (1, j - k_{d}), \dots, j$ ;
if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ and $uplo = Nag_Lower$ ,
$A_{i j}$ is stored in $ab [i - j + (j - 1) \times pdab]$ , for $j = 1, \dots, n$ and $i = j, \dots, \min (n, j + k_{d})$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ and $uplo = Nag_Upper$ ,
$A_{i j}$ is stored in $ab [j - i + (i - 1) \times pdab]$ , for $i = 1, \dots, n$ and $j = i, \dots, \min (n, i + k_{d})$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ and $uplo = Nag_Lower$ ,
$A_{i j}$ is stored in $ab [k_{d} + j - i + (i - 1) \times pdab]$ , for $i = 1, \dots, n$ and $j = \max (1, i - k_{d}), \dots, i$ .

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least

$\max (1, pdb \times nrhs)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$\max (1, n \times pdb)$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL: Dynamic memory allocation failed.

On entry, $pdb = ⟨value⟩$ and $n = ⟨value⟩$ .
Constraint: $pdb \geq \max (1, n)$ .
On entry, $pdb = ⟨value⟩$ and $nrhs = ⟨value⟩$ .
Constraint: $pdb \geq \max (1, nrhs)$ .
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_MAT_NOT_POS_DEF: The leading minor of order $⟨value⟩$ of $A$ is not positive definite, so the factorization could not be completed, and the solution has not been computed.

7 Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side,

\hat{x}

, satisfies an equation of the form

(A + E) \hat{x} = b,

where

{‖E‖}_{1} = O (ε) {‖A‖}_{1}

and

ε

is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by

\frac{{‖\hat{x} - x‖}_{1}}{{‖x‖}_{1}} \leq κ (A) \frac{{‖E‖}_{1}}{{‖A‖}_{1}},

where

κ (A) = {‖A^{- 1}‖}_{1} {‖A‖}_{1}

, the condition number of

A

with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

nag_zpbsvx (f07hpc) is a comprehensive LAPACK driver that returns forward and backward error bounds and an estimate of the condition number. Alternatively, nag_herm_posdef_band_lin_solve (f04cfc) solves

A x = b

and returns a forward error bound and condition estimate. nag_herm_posdef_band_lin_solve (f04cfc) calls nag_zpbsv (f07hnc) to solve the equations.

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_zpbsv (f07hnc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_zpbsv (f07hnc) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

When

n ≫ k

, the total number of floating-point operations is approximately

4 n {(k + 1)}^{2} + 16 n k r

, where

k

is the number of superdiagonals and

r

is the number of right-hand sides.

The real analogue of this function is nag_dpbsv (f07hac).

10 Example

This example solves the equations

A x = b,

where

A

is the Hermitian positive definite band matrix

A = (\begin{array}{r} 9.39 & 1.08 - 1.73 i & 0 & 0 \\ 1.08 + 1.73 i & 1.69 & - 0.04 + 0.29 i & 0 \\ 0 & - 0.04 - 0.29 i & 2.65 & - 0.33 + 2.24 i \\ 0 & 0 & - 0.33 - 2.24 i & 2.17 \end{array})

and

b = (\begin{array}{r} - 12.42 + 68.42 i \\ - 9.93 + 0.88 i \\ - 27.30 - 0.01 i \\ 5.31 + 23.63 i \end{array}) .
