5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{order}$ – 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 $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$. 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: $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$.

2: $\mathbf{uplo}$ – Nag_UploType Input

On entry: if $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$, the upper triangle of $A$ is stored.

If $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$, the lower triangle of $A$ is stored.

Constraint: $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$.

3: $\mathbf{n}$ – Integer Input

On entry: $n$, the number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix $A$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

4: $\mathbf{nrhs}$ – Integer Input

On entry: $r$, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix $B$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{nrhs}\ge 0$.

5: $\mathbf{ap}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – Complex Input/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ap must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\times \left(\mathbf{n}+1\right)/2\right)$.

On entry: the $n$ by $n$ Hermitian matrix $A$, packed by rows or columns.

The storage of elements $A_{ij}$ depends on the order and uplo arguments as follows:

if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$,

$A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ap}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times j/2+i-1\right]$, for $i\le j$;

if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$,

$A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ap}\left[\left(2n-j\right)\times \left(j-1\right)/2+i-1\right]$, for $i\ge j$;

if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$,

$A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ap}\left[\left(2n-i\right)\times \left(i-1\right)/2+j-1\right]$, for $i\le j$;

if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ and $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$,

$A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{ap}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times i/2+j-1\right]$, for $i\ge j$.

On exit: if $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_NOERROR, the factor $U$ or $L$ from the Cholesky factorization $A=U^{\mathrm{H}}U$ or $A=L{L}^{\mathrm{H}}$, in the same storage format as $A$.

6: $\mathbf{b}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – Complex Input/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least

• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{pdb}\times \mathbf{nrhs}\right)$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\times \mathbf{pdb}\right)$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

The $\left(i,j\right)$th element of the matrix $B$ is stored in

• $\mathbf{b}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdb}+i-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\mathbf{b}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdb}+j-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

On entry: the $n$ by $r$ right-hand side matrix $B$.

On exit: if $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_NOERROR, the $n$ by $r$ solution matrix $X$.

7: $\mathbf{pdb}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array b.

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$, $\mathbf{pdb}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$, $\mathbf{pdb}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{nrhs}\right)$.

8: $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL

Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

NE_BAD_PARAM

On entry, argument $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ had an illegal value.

NE_INT

On entry, $\mathbf{n}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

On entry, $\mathbf{nrhs}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{nrhs}\ge 0$.

On entry, $\mathbf{pdb}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{pdb}>0$.

NE_INT_2

On entry, $\mathbf{pdb}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and $\mathbf{n}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{pdb}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$.

On entry, $\mathbf{pdb}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and $\mathbf{nrhs}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{pdb}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{nrhs}\right)$.

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR

An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

NE_MAT_NOT_POS_DEF

The leading minor of order $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ of $A$ is not positive definite, so the factorization could not be completed, and the solution has not been computed.

NE_NO_LICENCE

Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
