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: $uplo$ – Nag_UploType Input

On entry: specifies how

A

has been factorized.

$uplo = Nag_Upper$: $A = U^{H} U$ , where $U$ is upper triangular.
$uplo = Nag_Lower$: $A = L L^{H}$ , where $L$ is lower triangular.

Constraint:

uplo = Nag_Upper

Nag_Lower

3: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: $nrhs$ – Integer Input

On entry:

r

, the number of right-hand sides.

Constraint:

nrhs \geq 0

5: $ap [\dim]$ – const Complex Input

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

\max (1, n \times (n + 1) / 2)

On entry: the Cholesky factor of

A

stored in packed form, as returned by f07grc.

6: $b [\dim]$ – Complex Input/Output

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

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

n \times r

right-hand side matrix

B

On exit: the

n \times r

solution matrix

X

7: $pdb$ – Integer Input

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

Constraints:

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

8: $fail$ – NagError * Input/Output

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

7 Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector

b

, the computed solution

x

is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations

(A + E) x = b

, where

if $uplo = Nag_Upper$ , $| E | \leq c (n) ε | U^{H} | | U |$ ;
if $uplo = Nag_Lower$ , $| E | \leq c (n) ε | L | | L^{H} |$ ,

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision.

\hat{x}

is the true solution, then the computed solution

x

satisfies a forward error bound of the form

\frac{{‖ x - \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty}}{{‖ x ‖}_{\infty}} \leq c (n) cond (A, x) ε

where

cond (A, x) = {‖ | A^{- 1} | | A | | x | ‖}_{\infty} / {‖ x ‖}_{\infty} \leq cond (A) = {‖ | A^{- 1} | | A | ‖}_{\infty} \leq κ_{\infty} (A)

Note that

cond (A, x)

can be much smaller than

cond (A)

Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling f07gvc, and an estimate for

κ_{\infty} (A)

(

= κ_{1} (A)

) can be obtained by calling f07guc.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07gsc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07gsc 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 total number of real floating-point operations is approximately

8 n^{2} r

This function may be followed by a call to f07gvc to refine the solution and return an error estimate.

The real analogue of this function is f07gec.

10 Example

This example solves the system of equations

A X = B

, where

A = (\begin{array}{r} 3.23 + 0.00 i & 1.51 - 1.92 i & 1.90 + 0.84 i & 0.42 + 2.50 i \\ 1.51 + 1.92 i & 3.58 + 0.00 i & - 0.23 + 1.11 i & - 1.18 + 1.37 i \\ 1.90 - 0.84 i & - 0.23 - 1.11 i & 4.09 + 0.00 i & 2.33 - 0.14 i \\ 0.42 - 2.50 i & - 1.18 - 1.37 i & 2.33 + 0.14 i & 4.29 + 0.00 i \end{array})

and

B = (\begin{array}{r} 3.93 - 6.14 i & 1.48 + 6.58 i \\ 6.17 + 9.42 i & 4.65 - 4.75 i \\ - 7.17 - 21.83 i & - 4.91 + 2.29 i \\ 1.99 - 14.38 i & 7.64 - 10.79 i \end{array}) .

Here

A

is Hermitian positive definite, stored in packed form, and must first be factorized by f07grc.
