The routine may be called by the names f11ddf or nagf_sparse_real_gen_precon_ssor_solve.

3 Description

f11ddf solves a system of linear equations
Mx=y, or MTx=y,  
according to the value of the argument trans, where the matrix
M=1ω2-ω D+ω L D-1 D+ω U  
corresponds to symmetric successive-over-relaxation (SSOR) (see Young (1971)) applied to a linear system Ax=b, where A is a real sparse nonsymmetric matrix stored in coordinate storage (CS) format (see Section 2.1.1 in the F11 Chapter Introduction).
In the definition of M given above D is the diagonal part of A, L is the strictly lower triangular part of A, U is the strictly upper triangular part of A, and ω is a user-defined relaxation parameter.
It is envisaged that a common use of f11ddf will be to carry out the preconditioning step required in the application of f11bef to sparse linear systems. For an illustration of this use of f11ddf see the example program given in Section 10. f11ddf is also used for this purpose by the Black Box routine f11def.

5 Arguments

1: trans Character(1) Input
On entry: specifies whether or not the matrix M is transposed.
trans='N'
Mx=y is solved.
trans='T'
MTx=y is solved.
Constraint: trans='N' or 'T'.
2: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n1.
3: nnz Integer Input
On entry: the number of nonzero elements in the matrix A.
Constraint: 1nnzn2.
4: annz Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
On entry: the nonzero elements in the matrix A, ordered by increasing row index, and by increasing column index within each row. Multiple entries for the same row and column indices are not permitted. The routine f11zaf may be used to order the elements in this way.
5: irownnz Integer array Input
6: icolnnz Integer array Input
On entry: the row and column indices of the nonzero elements supplied in array a.
Constraints:
irow and icol must satisfy the following constraints (which may be imposed by a call to f11zaf):
  • 1irowin and 1icolin, for i=1,2,,nnz;
  • either irowi-1<irowi or both irowi-1=irowi and icoli-1<icoli, for i=2,3,,nnz.
7: rdiagn Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
On entry: the elements of the diagonal matrix D-1, where D is the diagonal part of A.
8: omega Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the relaxation parameter ω.
Constraint: 0.0<omega<2.0.
9: check Character(1) Input
On entry: specifies whether or not the CS representation of the matrix M should be checked.
check='C'
Checks are carried on the values of n, nnz, irow, icol and omega.
check='N'
None of these checks are carried out.
See also Section 9.2.
Constraint: check='C' or 'N'.
10: yn Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
On entry: the right-hand side vector y.
11: xn Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: the solution vector x.
12: iwork2×n+1 Integer array Workspace
13: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 4 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is 0. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
On entry, check=value.
Constraint: check='C' or 'N'.
On entry, trans=value.
Constraint: trans='N' or 'T'.
ifail=2
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n1.
On entry, nnz=value.
Constraint: 1nnzn2.
On entry, nnz=value and n=value.
Constraint: 1nnzn2.
On entry, omega=value.
Constraint: 0.0<omega<2.0.
ifail=3
On entry, ai is out of order: i=value.
On entry, i=value, icoli=value and n=value.
Constraint: icoli1 and icolin.
On entry, i=value, irowi=value and n=value.
Constraint: irowi1 and irowin.
On entry, the location (irowI,icolI) is a duplicate: I=value.
ifail=4
The matrix A has no diagonal entry in row value.
The SSOR preconditioner is not appropriate for this problem.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.

ifail=-399
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.

ifail=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.

7 Accuracy

If trans='N' the computed solution x is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations M+δMx=y, where
δMcnεD+ωLD-1D+ωU,  
cn is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision. An equivalent result holds when trans='T'.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f11ddf is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

9.1 Timing

The time taken for a call to f11ddf is proportional to nnz.

9.2 Use of check

It is expected that a common use of f11ddf will be to carry out the preconditioning step required in the application of f11bef to sparse linear systems. In this situation f11ddf is likely to be called many times with the same matrix M. In the interests of both reliability and efficiency, you are recommended to set check='C' for the first of such calls, and for all subsequent calls set check='N'.

10 Example

This example solves a sparse linear system of equations:
Ax=b,  
using RGMRES with SSOR preconditioning.
The RGMRES algorithm itself is implemented by the reverse communication routine f11bef, which returns repeatedly to the calling program with various values of the argument irevcm. This argument indicates the action to be taken by the calling program.
For further details see the routine document for f11bef.
