void	f07jbc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_FactoredFormType fact, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const double d[], const double e[], double df[], double ef[], const double b[], Integer pdb, double x[], Integer pdx, double rcond, double ferr[], double berr[], NagError fail)

The function may be called by the names: f07jbc, nag_lapacklin_dptsvx or nag_dptsvx.

3 Description

f07jbc performs the following steps:

1.If $fact = Nag_NotFactored$ , the matrix $A$ is factorized as $A = L D L^{T}$ , where $L$ is a unit lower bidiagonal matrix and $D$ is diagonal. The factorization can also be regarded as having the form $A = U^{T} D U$ .
2.If the leading $i \times i$ principal minor is not positive definite, then the function returns with $fail . errnum = i$ and $fail . code =$ NE_MAT_NOT_POS_DEF. Otherwise, the factored form of $A$ is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix $A$ . If the reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision, $fail . code =$ NE_SINGULAR_WP is returned as a warning, but the function still goes on to solve for $X$ and compute error bounds as described below.
3.The system of equations is solved for $X$ using the factored form of $A$ .
4.Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and to calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.

On entry, $pdx = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $pdx \geq \max (1, n)$ .

On entry, $pdx = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $nrhs = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $pdx \geq \max (1, nrhs)$ .
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_MAT_NOT_POS_DEF: The leading minor of order $⟨ value ⟩$ of $A$ is not positive definite, so the factorization could not be completed, and the solution has not been computed. $rcond = 0.0$ is returned.
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_SINGULAR_WP: $D$ is nonsingular, but rcond is less than machine precision, meaning that the matrix is singular to working precision. Nevertheless, the solution and error bounds are computed because there are a number of situations where the computed solution can be more accurate than the value of rcond would suggest.

7 Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector

b

, the computed solution

\hat{x}

is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations

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

, where

| E | \leq c (n) ε | R | | R^{T} |, where ​ R = L D^{\frac{1}{2}},

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision. See Section 10.1 of Higham (2002) for further details.

x

is the true solution, then the computed solution

\hat{x}

satisfies a forward error bound of the form

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

where

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

. If

\hat{x}

is the

j

th column of

X

, then

w_{c}

is returned in

berr [j - 1]

and a bound on

{‖ x - \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty} / {‖ \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty}

is returned in

ferr [j - 1]

. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07jbc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07jbc 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, and for the estimation of the condition number of

A

is proportional to

n

. The number of floating-point operations required for the solution of the equations, and for the estimation of the forward and backward error is proportional to

n r

, where

r

is the number of right-hand sides.

The condition estimation is based upon Equation (15.11) of Higham (2002). For further details of the error estimation, see Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999).

The complex analogue of this function is f07jpc.

10 Example

This example solves the equations

A = (\begin{matrix} 4.0 & - 2.0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ - 2.0 & 10.0 & - 6.0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & - 6.0 & 29.0 & 15.0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 15.0 & 25.0 & 8.0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 8.0 & 5.0 \end{matrix})

and

B = (\begin{matrix} 6.0 & 10.0 \\ 9.0 & 4.0 \\ 2.0 & 9.0 \\ 14.0 & 65.0 \\ 7.0 & 23.0 \end{matrix}) .
