On entry: the

n

triangular 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

$A_{i j}$ 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 $uplo = Nag_Lower$ ,

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 $j = \max (1, i - k_{d}), \dots, i$ .

7 Accuracy

The solutions of triangular systems of equations are usually computed to high accuracy. See Higham (1989).

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

|E| \leq c (k) ε |A|,

c (k)

is a modest linear function of

k

, 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 (k) cond (A, x) ε,   provided c (k) cond (A, x) ε < 1,

where

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

Note that

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

;

cond (A, x)

can be much smaller than

cond (A)

and it is also possible for

cond (A^{T})

to be much larger (or smaller) than

cond (A)

Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling nag_dtbrfs (f07vhc), and an estimate for

κ_{\infty} (A)

can be obtained by calling nag_dtbcon (f07vgc) with

norm = Nag_InfNorm

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_dtbtrs (f07vec) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_dtbtrs (f07vec) 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

k ≪ n

The complex analogue of this function is nag_ztbtrs (f07vsc).
