6Error Indicators and Warnings
NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
The double allocatable memory required is n, and the Complex allocatable memory required is , where lwork is the optimum workspace required by f07mnc. If this failure occurs it may be possible to solve the equations by calling the packed storage version of f04chc, f04cjc, or by calling f07mnc directly with less than the optimum workspace (see Chapter F07).

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_RCOND
A solution has been computed, but rcond is less than machine precision so that the matrix is numerically singular.
NE_SINGULAR
Diagonal block of the block diagonal matrix is zero. The factorization has been completed, but the solution could not be computed.
7Accuracy
The computed solution for a single right-hand side, , satisfies an equation of the form

and is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by
where , the condition number of with respect to the solution of the linear equations. f04chc uses the approximation to estimate errbnd. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
8Parallelism and Performance
f04chc 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.
9Further Comments
The total number of floating-point operations required to solve the equations is proportional to . The condition number estimation typically requires between four and five solves and never more than eleven solves, following the factorization.
In practice the condition number estimator is very reliable, but it can underestimate the true condition number; see Section 15.3 of Higham (2002) for further details.
Function f04dhc is for complex symmetric matrices, and the real analogue of f04chc is f04bhc.
