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

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) for further details.

f07jpc is a comprehensive LAPACK driver that returns forward and backward error bounds and an estimate of the condition number. Alternatively, f04cgc solves

A x = b

and returns a forward error bound and condition estimate. f04cgc calls f07jnc to solve the equations.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07jnc 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 number of floating-point operations required for the factorization of

A

is proportional to

n

, and the number of floating-point operations required for the solution of the equations is proportional to

n r

, where

r

is the number of right-hand sides.

The real analogue of this function is f07jac.

10 Example

This example solves the equations

A x = b,

where

A

is the Hermitian positive definite tridiagonal matrix

A = (\begin{array}{r} 16.0 & 16.0 - 16.0 i & 0 & 0 \\ 16.0 + 16.0 i & 41.0 & 18.0 + 9.0 i & 0 \\ 0 & 18.0 - 9.0 i & 46.0 & 1.0 + 4.0 i \\ 0 & 0 & 1.0 - 4.0 i & 21.0 \end{array})

and

b = (\begin{array}{r} 64.0 + 16.0 i \\ 93.0 + 62.0 i \\ 78.0 - 80.0 i \\ 14.0 - 27.0 i \end{array}) .
