Description
is computed using the algorithm described in
Al–Mohy and Higham (2011) which uses a truncated Taylor series to compute the
without explicitly forming
.
The algorithm does not explicity need to access the elements of ; it only requires the result of matrix multiplications of the form or . A reverse communication interface is used, in which control is returned to the calling program whenever a matrix product is required.

Arguments
Note: this function uses
reverse communication. Its use involves an initial entry, intermediate exits and re-entries, and a final exit, as indicated by the argument
irevcm. Between intermediate exits and re-entries,
all arguments other than b2, x, y, p and r must remain unchanged.

Input/Output
-
On initial entry: must be set to .
On intermediate exit:

,
,
or
. The calling program must:
-
(a)if : evaluate , where is an by matrix, and store the result in b2;
if : evaluate , where and are by matrices, and store the result in y;
if : evaluate and store the result in x;
if : evaluate and store the result in p;
if : evaluate and store the result in r.
-
(b)call f01gbc again with all other parameters unchanged.
On final exit: .
Note: any values you return to f01gbc as part of the reverse communication procedure should not include floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by f01gbc. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, f01gbc is likely to produce unexpected results.

Accuracy
For a symmetric matrix
(for which
) the computed matrix
is guaranteed to be close to the exact matrix, that is, the method is forward stable. No such guarantee can be given for non-symmetric matrices. See Section 4 of
Al–Mohy and Higham (2011) for details and further discussion.

Parallelism and Performance
f01gbc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
Please consult the
X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
The elements of are not explicitly required by f01gbc. However, the trace of is used in the preprocessing phase of the algorithm. If is not available to the calling function then any number can be supplied ( is recommended). This will not affect the stability of the algorithm, but it may reduce its efficiency.
f01gbc is designed to be used when is large and sparse. Whenever a matrix multiplication is required, the function will return control to the calling program so that the multiplication can be done in the most efficient way possible. Note that will not, in general, be sparse even if is sparse.
If
is small and dense then
f01gac can be used to compute
without the use of a reverse communication interface.
The complex analog of
f01gbc is
f01hbc.
To compute
, the following skeleton code can normally be used:
do {
f01gbc(&irevcm,n,m,b,tdb,t,tr,b2,tdb2,x,tdx,y,tdy,p,r,z,comm,icomm,&fail);
if (irevcm == 1) {
.. Code to compute B2=AB ..
}
else if (irevcm == 2){
.. Code to compute Y=AX ..
}
else if (irevcm == 3){
.. Code to compute X=A^T Y ..
}
else if (irevcm == 4){
.. Code to compute P=AZ ..
}
else if (irevcm == 5){
.. Code to compute R=A^T Z ..
}
} (while irevcm !=0)
The code used to compute the matrix products will vary depending on the way
is stored. If all the elements of
are stored explicitly, then
f16yac) can be used. If
is triangular then
f16yfc should be used. If
is symmetric, then
f16ycc should be used. For sparse
stored in coordinate storage format
f11xac and
f11xec can be used. Alternatively if
is stored in compressed column format
f11mkc can be used.
