NAG AD Library
f03bf_a1w_f (real_sym_a1w)

Note: a1w denotes that first order adjoints are computed in working precision; this has the corresponding argument type nagad_a1w_w_rtype. Also available is the t1w (first order tangent linear) mode, the interface of which is implied by replacing a1w by t1w throughout this document. Additionally, the p0w (passive interface, as alternative to the FL interface) mode is available and can be inferred by replacing of active types by the corresponding passive types. The method of codifying AD implementations in the routine name and corresponding argument types is described in the NAG AD Library Introduction.

1 Purpose

f03bf_a1w_f is the adjoint version of the primal routine f03bff.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine f03bf_a1w_f ( ad_handle, n, a, lda, d, id, ifail)
Integer, Intent (In) :: n, lda
Integer, Intent (Inout) :: ifail
Integer, Intent (Out) :: id
Type (nagad_a1w_w_rtype), Intent (In) :: a(lda,*)
Type (nagad_a1w_w_rtype), Intent (Out) :: d
Type (c_ptr), Intent (Inout) :: ad_handle
C++ Header Interface
#include <nagad.h>
void f03bf_a1w_f_ ( void *&ad_handle, const Integer &n, const nagad_a1w_w_rtype a[], const Integer &lda, nagad_a1w_w_rtype &d, Integer &id, Integer &ifail)
The routine may be called by the names f03bf_a1w_f or nagf_det_real_sym_a1w. The corresponding t1w and p0w variants of this routine are also available.

3 Description

f03bf_a1w_f is the adjoint version of the primal routine f03bff.
f03bff computes the determinant of a real n×n symmetric positive definite matrix A. f07fdf must be called first to supply the symmetric matrix A in Cholesky factorized form. The storage (upper or lower triangular) used by f07fdf is not relevant to f03bff since only the diagonal elements of the factorized A are referenced. For further information see Section 3 in the documentation for f03bff.

5 Arguments

In addition to the arguments present in the interface of the primal routine, f03bf_a1w_f includes some arguments specific to AD.
A brief summary of the AD specific arguments is given below. For the remainder, links are provided to the corresponding argument from the primal routine. A tooltip popup for all arguments can be found by hovering over the argument name in Section 2 and in this section.
1: ad_handle – Type (c_ptr) Input/Output
On entry: a handle to the AD configuration data object, as created by x10aa_a1w_f.
2: n – Integer Input
3: a(lda, *) – Type (nagad_a1w_w_rtype) array Input
4: lda – Integer Input
5: dType (nagad_a1w_w_rtype) Output
6: id – Integer Output
7: ifail – Integer Input/Output
