to compute the solution to a complex system of linear equations
where is an Hermitian positive definite tridiagonal matrix and and are matrices. Error bounds on the solution and a condition estimate are also provided.
The function may be called by the names: f07jpc, nag_lapacklin_zptsvx or nag_zptsvx.
3Description
f07jpc performs the following steps:
1.If , the matrix is factorized as , where is a unit lower bidiagonal matrix and is diagonal. The factorization can also be regarded as having the form .
2.If the leading principal minor is not positive definite, then the function returns with and NE_MAT_NOT_POS_DEF. Otherwise, the factored form of is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix . If the reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision, NE_SINGULAR_WP is returned as a warning, but the function still goes on to solve for and compute error bounds as described below.
3.The system of equations is solved for using the factored form of .
4.Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and to calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.

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 of is not positive definite, so the factorization could not be completed, and the solution has not been computed. 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
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.
7Accuracy
For each right-hand side vector , the computed solution is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations , where
is a modest linear function of , and is the machine precision. See Section 10.1 of Higham (2002) for further details.
If is the true solution, then the computed solution satisfies a forward error bound of the form

If is the th column of , then is returned in and a bound on is returned in . See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
8Parallelism and Performance
f07jpc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f07jpc 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.
