void	f07qnf_ (const char uplo, const Integer n, const Integer nrhs, Complex ap[], Integer ipiv[], Complex b[], const Integer ldb, Integer *info, const Charlen length_uplo)

The routine may be called by the names f07qnf, nagf_lapacklin_zspsv or its LAPACK name zspsv.

3 Description

f07qnf uses the diagonal pivoting method to factor

A

A = U D U^{T}

uplo ='U'

A = L D L^{T}

uplo ='L'

, where

U

(or

L

) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower) triangular matrices,

D

is symmetric and block diagonal with

1

1

and

2

2

diagonal blocks. The factored form of

A

is then used to solve the system of equations

A X = B

. More precisely,

if $ipiv (i) = k > 0$ , $d_{i i}$ is a $1$ by $1$ pivot block and the $i$ th row and column of $A$ were interchanged with the $k$ th row and column;
if $uplo ='U'$ and $ipiv (i - 1) = ipiv (i) = - l < 0$ , $(\begin{matrix} d_{i - 1, i - 1} & {\bar{d}}_{i, i - 1} \\ {\bar{d}}_{i, i - 1} & d_{i i} \end{matrix})$ is a $2$ by $2$ pivot block and the $(i - 1)$ th row and column of $A$ were interchanged with the $l$ th row and column;

6: $b (ldb *)$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

Note: the second dimension of the array b must be at least

is a single right-hand side, b may be supplied as a one-dimensional array with length

ldb = \max (1, n)

7: $ldb$ – Integer Input

On entry: the first dimension of the array b as declared in the (sub)program from which f07qnf is called.

Constraint:

ldb \geq \max (1, n)

8: $info$ – Integer Output

On exit:

info = 0

unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$info < 0$: If $info = - i$ , argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

$info > 0$: Element $〈value〉$ of the diagonal is exactly zero. The factorization has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix $D$ is exactly singular, so the solution could not be computed.

7 Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side,

\hat{x}

, satisfies an equation of the form

(A + E) \hat{x} = b,

where

{‖E‖}_{1} = O (ε) {‖A‖}_{1}

and

ε

is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by

\frac{{‖\hat{x} - x‖}_{1}}{{‖x‖}_{1}} \leq κ (A) \frac{{‖E‖}_{1}}{{‖A‖}_{1}},

where

κ (A) = {‖A^{- 1}‖}_{1} {‖A‖}_{1}

, the condition number of

A

with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) and Chapter 11 of Higham (2002) for further details.

f07qpf is a comprehensive LAPACK driver that returns forward and backward error bounds and an estimate of the condition number. Alternatively, f04djf solves

A X = B

and returns a forward error bound and condition estimate. f04djf calls f07qnf to solve the equations.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07qnf 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 routine. 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

\frac{4}{3} n^{3} + 8 n^{2} r

, where

r

is the number of right-hand sides.

The real analogue of this routine is f07paf. The complex Hermitian analogue of this routine is f07pnf.
