nag_dgelsy (f08bac)

void	nag_dgelsy (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, Integer nrhs, double a[], Integer pda, double b[], Integer pdb, Integer jpvt[], double rcond, Integer rank, NagError fail)

3 Description

The right-hand side vectors are stored as the columns of the

m

r

matrix

B

and the solution vectors in the

n

r

matrix

X

nag_dgelsy (f08bac) first computes a

Q R

factorization with column pivoting

A P = Q (\begin{array}{r} R_{11} & R_{12} \\ 0 & R_{22} \end{array}),

with

R_{11}

defined as the largest leading sub-matrix whose estimated condition number is less than

1 / rcond

. The order of

R_{11}

, rank, is the effective rank of

A

Then,

R_{22}

is considered to be negligible, and

R_{12}

is annihilated by orthogonal transformations from the right, arriving at the complete orthogonal factorization

A P = Q (\begin{array}{r} T_{11} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{array}) Z .

The minimum norm solution is then

X = P Z^{T} (\begin{matrix} T_{11}^{- 1} Q_{1}^{T} b \\ 0 \end{matrix})

where

Q_{1}

consists of the first rank columns of

Q

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: m – IntegerInput

On entry:

m

, the number of rows of the matrix

A

Constraint:

m \geq 0

3: n – IntegerInput

On entry:

n

, the number of columns of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: nrhs – IntegerInput

On entry:

r

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

B

and

X

Constraint:

nrhs \geq 0

5: a[ $\dim$ ] – doubleInput/Output

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

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

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

A

is stored in

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

On entry: the

m

n

matrix

A

On exit: a has been overwritten by details of its complete orthogonal factorization.

6: pda – IntegerInput

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

Constraints:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $pda \geq \max (1, m)$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $pda \geq \max (1, n)$ .

7: b[ $\dim$ ] – doubleInput/Output

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

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

m

r

right-hand side matrix

B

On exit: the

n

r

solution matrix

X

8: pdb – IntegerInput

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

Constraints:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $pdb \geq \max (1, m, n)$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $pdb \geq \max (1, nrhs)$ .

9: jpvt[ $\dim$ ] – IntegerInput/Output

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

\max (1, n)

On entry: if

jpvt [i - 1] \neq 0

, the

i

th column of

A

is permuted to the front of

A P

, otherwise column

i

is a free column.

On exit: if

jpvt [i - 1] = k

, then the

i

th column of

A P

was the

k

th column of

A

10: rcond – doubleInput

On entry: used to determine the effective rank of

A

, which is defined as the order of the largest leading triangular sub-matrix

R_{11}

in the

Q R

factorization of

A

, whose estimated condition number is

< 1 / rcond

Suggested value: if the condition number of a is not known then

rcond = \sqrt{(ε) / 2}

(where

ε

is machine precision, see nag_machine_precision (X02AJC)) is a good choice. Negative values or values less than machine precision should be avoided since this will cause a to have an effective

rank = \min (m, n)

that could be larger than its actual rank, leading to meaningless results.

11: rank – Integer *Output

On exit: the effective rank of

A

, i.e., the order of the sub-matrix

R_{11}

. This is the same as the order of the sub-matrix

T_{11}

in the complete orthogonal factorization of

A

12: fail – NagError *Input/Output

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