CL Name Style:


1 Purpose

f07cec computes the solution to a real system of linear equations AX=B or ATX=B , where A is an n × n tridiagonal matrix and X and B are n × r matrices, using the LU factorization returned by f07cdc.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f07cec (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_TransType trans, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const double dl[], const double d[], const double du[], const double du2[], const Integer ipiv[], double b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f07cec, nag_lapacklin_dgttrs or nag_dgttrs.

3 Description

f07cec should be preceded by a call to f07cdc, which uses Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges to factorize the matrix A as
A=PLU ,  
where P is a permutation matrix, L is unit lower triangular with at most one nonzero subdiagonal element in each column, and U is an upper triangular band matrix, with two superdiagonals. f07cec then utilizes the factorization to solve the required equations.

5 Arguments

1: order Nag_OrderType Input
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 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2: trans Nag_TransType Input
On entry: specifies the equations to be solved as follows:
trans=Nag_NoTrans
Solve AX=B for X.
trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans
Solve ATX=B for X.
Constraint: trans=Nag_NoTrans, Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans.
3: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
4: nrhs Integer Input
On entry: r, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix B.
Constraint: nrhs0.
5: dl[dim] const double Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array dl must be at least max(1,n-1).
On entry: must contain the (n-1) multipliers that define the matrix L of the LU factorization of A.
6: d[dim] const double Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array d must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: must contain the n diagonal elements of the upper triangular matrix U from the LU factorization of A.
7: du[dim] const double Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array du must be at least max(1,n-1).
On entry: must contain the (n-1) elements of the first superdiagonal of U.
8: du2[dim] const double Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array du2 must be at least max(1,n-2).
On entry: must contain the (n-2) elements of the second superdiagonal of U.
9: ipiv[dim] const Integer Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ipiv must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: must contain the n pivot indices that define the permutation matrix P. At the ith step, row i of the matrix was interchanged with row ipiv[i-1], and ipiv[i-1] must always be either i or (i+1), ipiv[i-1]=i indicating that a row interchange was not performed.
10: b[dim] double Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least
  • max(1,pdb×nrhs) when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max(1,n×pdb) when order=Nag_RowMajor.
The (i,j)th element of the matrix B is stored in
  • b[(j-1)×pdb+i-1] when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • b[(i-1)×pdb+j-1] when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On entry: the n×r matrix of right-hand sides B.
On exit: the n×r solution matrix X.
11: pdb Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array b.
Constraints:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor, pdbmax(1,n);
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor, pdbmax(1,nrhs).

7 Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side, x^ , satisfies an equation of the form
(A+E) x^=b ,  
where
E1 =O(ε)A1  
and ε is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by
x^-x1 x1 κ(A) E1 A1 ,  
where κ(A) = A-11 A1 , the condition number of A with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
Following the use of this function f07cgc can be used to estimate the condition number of A and f07chc can be used to obtain approximate error bounds.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07cec is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations required to solve the equations AX=B or ATX=B is proportional to nr .
The complex analogue of this function is f07csc.
