1 Purpose

F07ASF (ZGETRS) solves a complex system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,

A X = B, A^{T} X = B or A^{H} X = B,

where

A

has been factorized by F07ARF (ZGETRF).

2 Specification

SUBROUTINE F07ASF (

TRANS, N, NRHS, A, LDA, IPIV, B, LDB, INFO)

INTEGER	N, NRHS, LDA, IPIV(*), LDB, INFO
COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)	A(LDA,), B(LDB,)
CHARACTER(1)	TRANS

The routine may be called by its LAPACK name zgetrs.

3 Description

F07ASF (ZGETRS) is used to solve a complex system of linear equations

A X = B

A^{T} X = B

A^{H} X = B

, the routine must be preceded by a call to F07ARF (ZGETRF) which computes the

L U

factorization of

A

A = P L U

. The solution is computed by forward and backward substitution.

TRANS ='N'

, the solution is computed by solving

P L Y = B

and then

U X = Y

TRANS ='T'

, the solution is computed by solving

U^{T} Y = B

and then

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

TRANS ='C'

, the solution is computed by solving

U^{H} Y = B

and then

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

5 Parameters

1: $TRANS$ – CHARACTER(1)Input

On entry: indicates the form of the equations.

$TRANS ='N'$: $A X = B$ is solved for $X$ .
$TRANS ='T'$: $A^{T} X = B$ is solved for $X$ .
$TRANS ='C'$: $A^{H} X = B$ is solved for $X$ .

Constraint:

TRANS ='N'

'T'

'C'

2: $N$ – INTEGERInput

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

N \geq 0

3: $NRHS$ – INTEGERInput

On entry:

r

, the number of right-hand sides.

Constraint:

NRHS \geq 0

4: $A (LDA *)$ – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput

Note: the second dimension of the array A must be at least

\max (1, N)

On entry: the

L U

factorization of

A

, as returned by F07ARF (ZGETRF).

5: $LDA$ – INTEGERInput

On entry: the first dimension of the array A as declared in the (sub)program from which F07ASF (ZGETRS) is called.

Constraint:

LDA \geq \max (1, N)

6: $IPIV (*)$ – INTEGER arrayInput

Note: the dimension of the array IPIV must be at least

\max (1, N)

On entry: the pivot indices, as returned by F07ARF (ZGETRF).

7: $B (LDB *)$ – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output

Note: the second dimension of the array B must be at least

\max (1, NRHS)

On entry: the

n

r

right-hand side matrix

B

On exit: the

n

r

solution matrix

8: $LDB$ – INTEGERInput

On entry: the first dimension of the array B as declared in the (sub)program from which F07ASF (ZGETRS) is called.

Constraint:

LDB \geq \max (1, N)

9: $INFO$ – INTEGEROutput

On exit:

INFO = 0

unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$INFO < 0$: If $INFO = - i$ , argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

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

|E| \leq c (n) ε P |L| |U|,

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)

, and

cond (A^{H})

(which is the same as

cond (A^{T})

) can be much larger (or smaller) than

cond (A)

Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling F07AVF (ZGERFS), and an estimate for

κ_{\infty} (A)

can be obtained by calling F07AUF (ZGECON) with

NORM ='I'

8 Parallelism and Performance

F07ASF (ZGETRS) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

F07ASF (ZGETRS) 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 X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

The total number of real floating-point operations is approximately

8 n^{2} r

This routine may be followed by a call to F07AVF (ZGERFS) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.

The real analogue of this routine is F07AEF (DGETRS).

10 Example

This example solves the system of equations

A X = B

, where

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 1.34 + 2.55 i & 0.28 + 3.17 i & - 6.39 - 2.20 i & 0.72 - 0.92 i \\ - 0.17 - 1.41 i & 3.31 - 0.15 i & - 0.15 + 1.34 i & 1.29 + 1.38 i \\ - 3.29 - 2.39 i & - 1.91 + 4.42 i & - 0.14 - 1.35 i & 1.72 + 1.35 i \\ 2.41 + 0.39 i & - 0.56 + 1.47 i & - 0.83 - 0.69 i & - 1.96 + 0.67 i \end{array})

and

B = (\begin{array}{r} 26.26 + 51.78 i & 31.32 - 6.70 i \\ 6.43 - 8.68 i & 15.86 - 1.42 i \\ - 5.75 + 25.31 i & - 2.15 + 30.19 i \\ 1.16 + 2.57 i & - 2.56 + 7.55 i \end{array}) .

Here

A

is nonsymmetric and must first be factorized by F07ARF (ZGETRF).
