void	nag_dsytrs (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const double a[], Integer pda, const Integer ipiv[], double b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

3 Description

nag_dsytrs (f07mec) is used to solve a real symmetric indefinite system of linear equations

A X = B

, this function must be preceded by a call to nag_dsytrf (f07mdc) which computes the Bunch–Kaufman factorization of

A

uplo = Nag_Upper

A = P U D U^{T} P^{T}

, where

P

is a permutation matrix,

U

is an upper triangular matrix and

D

is a symmetric block diagonal matrix with

1

1

and

2

2

blocks; the solution

X

is computed by solving

P U D Y = B

and then

U^{T} P^{T} X = Y

uplo = Nag_Lower

A = P L D L^{T} P^{T}

, where

L

is a lower triangular matrix; the solution

X

is computed by solving

P L D Y = B

and then

L^{T} P^{T} X = Y

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: specifies how

A

has been factorized.

$uplo = Nag_Upper$: $A = P U D U^{T} P^{T}$ , where $U$ is upper triangular.
$uplo = Nag_Lower$: $A = P L D L^{T} P^{T}$ , where $L$ is lower triangular.

Constraint:

uplo = Nag_Upper

Nag_Lower

3: n – IntegerInput

5: a[ $\dim$ ] – const doubleInput

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

\max (1, pda \times n)

On entry: details of the factorization of

6: pda – IntegerInput

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

8: b[ $\dim$ ] – doubleInput/Output

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 $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

B

is stored in

$b [(j - 1) \times pdb + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$b [(i - 1) \times pdb + j - 1]$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

On entry: the

7 Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector

b

, the computed solution

x

is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations

(A + E) x = b

, where

if $uplo = Nag_Upper$ , $|E| \leq c (n) ε P |U| |D| |U^{T}| P^{T}$ ;
if $uplo = Nag_Lower$ , $|E| \leq c (n) ε P |L| |D| |L^{T}| P^{T}$ ,

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision.

\hat{x}

is the true solution, then the computed solution

x

satisfies a forward error bound of the form

\frac{{‖x - \hat{x}‖}_{\infty}}{{‖x‖}_{\infty}} \leq c (n) cond (A, x) ε

where

cond (A, x) = {‖|A^{- 1}| |A| |x|‖}_{\infty} / {‖x‖}_{\infty} \leq cond (A) = {‖|A^{- 1}| |A|‖}_{\infty} \leq κ_{\infty} (A)

Note that

cond (A, x)

can be much smaller than

cond (A)

Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling nag_dsyrfs (f07mhc), and an estimate for

κ_{\infty} (A)

(

= κ_{1} (A)

) can be obtained by calling nag_dsycon (f07mgc).

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_dsytrs (f07mec) is not threaded by NAG in any implementation.

nag_dsytrs (f07mec) 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

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately

2 n^{2} r

This function may be followed by a call to nag_dsyrfs (f07mhc) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.

The complex analogues of this function are nag_zhetrs (f07msc) for Hermitian matrices and nag_zsytrs (f07nsc) for symmetric matrices.

10 Example

This example solves the system of equations

A X = B

, where

A = (\begin{matrix} 2.07 & 3.87 & 4.20 & - 1.15 \\ 3.87 & - 0.21 & 1.87 & 0.63 \\ 4.20 & 1.87 & 1.15 & 2.06 \\ - 1.15 & 0.63 & 2.06 & - 1.81 \end{matrix}) and B = (\begin{matrix} - 9.50 & 27.85 \\ - 8.38 & 9.90 \\ - 6.07 & 19.25 \\ - 0.96 & 3.93 \end{matrix}) .

Here

A

is symmetric indefinite and must first be factorized by nag_dsytrf (f07mdc).
