void	f08bac (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, Integer nrhs, double a[], Integer pda, double b[], Integer pdb, Integer jpvt[], double rcond, Integer rank, NagError fail)

The function may be called by the names: f08bac, nag_lapackeig_dgelsy or nag_dgelsy.

3 Description

The right-hand side vectors are stored as the columns of the

m

r

matrix

B

and the solution vectors in the

n

r

matrix

X

f08bac first computes a

Q R

factorization with column pivoting

A P = Q (\begin{array}{r} R_{11} & R_{12} \\ 0 & R_{22} \end{array}),

with

R_{11}

defined as the largest leading sub-matrix whose estimated condition number is less than

1 / rcond

. The order of

R_{11}

, rank, is the effective rank of

A

Then,

R_{22}

is considered to be negligible, and

R_{12}

is annihilated by orthogonal transformations from the right, arriving at the complete orthogonal factorization

A P = Q (\begin{array}{r} T_{11} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{array}) Z .

The minimum norm solution is then

X = P Z^{T} (\begin{matrix} T_{11}^{- 1} Q_{1}^{T} b \\ 0 \end{matrix})

where

Q_{1}

consists of the first rank columns of

Q

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: $m$ – Integer Input

On entry:

m

, the number of rows of the matrix

A

Constraint:

m \geq 0

3: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the number of columns of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: $nrhs$ – Integer Input

On entry:

r

, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrices

B

and

X

Constraint:

nrhs \geq 0

5: $a [\dim]$ – double Input/Output

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

$\max (1, pda \times n)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$\max (1, m \times pda)$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

A

is stored in

$a [(j - 1) \times pda + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$a [(i - 1) \times pda + j - 1]$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

On entry: the

m

n

matrix

A

On exit: a has been overwritten by details of its complete orthogonal factorization.

6: $pda$ – Integer Input

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

Constraints:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $pda \geq \max (1, m)$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $pda \geq \max (1, n)$ .

7: $b [\dim]$ – double Input/Output

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

$\max (1, pdb \times nrhs)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$\max (1, \max (1, m, n) \times pdb)$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

B

is stored in

$b [(j - 1) \times pdb + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$b [(i - 1) \times pdb + j - 1]$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

On entry: the

m

r

right-hand side matrix

B

On exit: the

n

r

solution matrix

X

8: $pdb$ – Integer Input

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

Constraints:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $pdb \geq \max (1, m, n)$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $pdb \geq \max (1, nrhs)$ .

9: $jpvt [\dim]$ – Integer Input/Output

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

\max (1, n)

On entry: if

jpvt [i - 1] \neq 0

, the

i

th column of

A

is permuted to the front of

A P

, otherwise column

i

is a free column.

On exit: if

jpvt [i - 1] = k

, the

i

th column of

A P

was the

k

th column of

A

10: $rcond$ – double Input

On entry: used to determine the effective rank of

A

, which is defined as the order of the largest leading triangular sub-matrix

R_{11}

in the

Q R

factorization of

A

, whose estimated condition number is

< 1 / rcond

Suggested value: if the condition number of a is not known then

rcond = \sqrt{(ε) / 2}

(where

ε

is machine precision, see X02AJC) is a good choice. Negative values or values less than machine precision should be avoided since this will cause a to have an effective

rank = \min (m, n)

that could be larger than its actual rank, leading to meaningless results.

11: $rank$ – Integer * Output

On exit: the effective rank of

A

, i.e., the order of the sub-matrix

R_{11}

. This is the same as the order of the sub-matrix

T_{11}

in the complete orthogonal factorization of

A

12: $fail$ – NagError * Input/Output

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

8 Parallelism and Performance

f08bac is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f08bac 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.

10 Example

This example solves the linear least squares problem
