3 Description
F11JQF solves a complex sparse Hermitian linear system of equations
using a preconditioned conjugate gradient method (see
Meijerink and Van der Vorst (1977)), or a preconditioned Lanczos method based on the algorithm SYMMLQ (see
Paige and Saunders (1975)). The conjugate gradient method is more efficient if
is positive definite, but may fail to converge for indefinite matrices. In this case the Lanczos method should be used instead. For further details see
Barrett et al. (1994).
F11JQF uses the incomplete Cholesky factorization determined by
F11JNF as the preconditioning matrix. A call to F11JQF must always be preceded by a call to
F11JNF. Alternative preconditioners for the same storage scheme are available by calling
F11JSF.
The matrix
and the preconditioning matrix
are represented in symmetric coordinate storage (SCS) format (see
Section 2.1.2 in the F11 Chapter Introduction) in the arrays
A,
IROW and
ICOL, as returned from
F11JNF. The array
A holds the nonzero entries in the lower triangular parts of these matrices, while
IROW and
ICOL hold the corresponding row and column indices.

On entry:

. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to
Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit:
unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see
Section 6).

The required accuracy could not be obtained. However, a reasonable accuracy has been obtained and further iterations could not improve the result.
Required accuracy not obtained in
MAXITN iterations.
The preconditioner appears not to be positive definite.
The matrix of the coefficients appears not to be positive definite (conjugate gradient method only).
A serious error has occurred in an internal call to an auxiliary routine. Check all subroutine calls and array sizes. Seek expert help.
7 Accuracy
On successful termination, the final residual
, where
, satisfies the termination criterion
The value of the final residual norm is returned in
RNORM.
The time taken by F11JQF for each iteration is roughly proportional to the value of
NNZC returned from the preceding call to
F11JNF. One iteration with the Lanczos method (SYMMLQ) requires a slightly larger number of operations than one iteration with the conjugate gradient method.
The number of iterations required to achieve a prescribed accuracy cannot easily be determined a priori, as it can depend dramatically on the conditioning and spectrum of the preconditioned matrix of the coefficients .
