void	f07mec (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const double a[], Integer pda, const Integer ipiv[], double b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

The function may be called by the names: f07mec, nag_lapacklin_dsytrs or nag_dsytrs.

3 Description

f07mec is used to solve a real symmetric indefinite system of linear equations

A X = B

, this function must be preceded by a call to f07mdc which computes the Bunch–Kaufman factorization of

A

uplo = Nag_Upper

A = P U D U^{T} P^{T}

, where

P

is a permutation matrix,

U

is an upper triangular matrix and

D

is a symmetric block diagonal matrix with

1

1

and

2

2

blocks; the solution

X

is computed by solving

P U D Y = B

and then

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

uplo = Nag_Lower

A = P L D L^{T} P^{T}

, where

L

is a lower triangular matrix; the solution

X

is computed by solving

P L D Y = B

and then

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

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

Nag_ColMajor

2: $uplo$ – Nag_UploType Input

On entry: specifies how

A

has been factorized.

$uplo = Nag_Upper$: $A = P U D U^{T} P^{T}$ , where $U$ is upper triangular.

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

if $uplo = Nag_Upper$ , $|E| \leq c (n) ε P |U| |D| |U^{T}| P^{T}$ ;
if $uplo = Nag_Lower$ , $|E| \leq c (n) ε P |L| |D| |L^{T}| P^{T}$ ,

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)

Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling f07mhc, and an estimate for

κ_{\infty} (A)

(

= κ_{1} (A)

) can be obtained by calling f07mgc.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07mec 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 function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately

2 n^{2} r

This function may be followed by a call to f07mhc to refine the solution and return an error estimate.

The complex analogues of this function are f07msc for Hermitian matrices and f07nsc for symmetric matrices.

10 Example

This example solves the system of equations

A X = B

, where

A = (\begin{matrix} 2.07 & 3.87 & 4.20 & - 1.15 \\ 3.87 & - 0.21 & 1.87 & 0.63 \\ 4.20 & 1.87 & 1.15 & 2.06 \\ - 1.15 & 0.63 & 2.06 & - 1.81 \end{matrix}) and B = (\begin{matrix} - 9.50 & 27.85 \\ - 8.38 & 9.90 \\ - 6.07 & 19.25 \\ - 0.96 & 3.93 \end{matrix}) .

Here

A

is symmetric indefinite and must first be factorized by f07mdc.
