void	f07tvc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Nag_TransType trans, Nag_DiagType diag, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const Complex a[], Integer pda, const Complex b[], Integer pdb, const Complex x[], Integer pdx, double ferr[], double berr[], NagError *fail)

The function may be called by the names: f07tvc, nag_lapacklin_ztrrfs or nag_ztrrfs.

3 Description

f07tvc returns the backward errors and estimated bounds on the forward errors for the solution of a complex triangular system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides

A X = B

A^{T} X = B

A^{H} X = B

. The function handles each right-hand side vector (stored as a column of the matrix

B

) independently, so we describe the function of f07tvc in terms of a single right-hand side

b

and solution

x

Given a computed solution

x

, the function computes the component-wise backward error

β

. This is the size of the smallest relative perturbation in each element of

A

and

b

such that

x

is the exact solution of a perturbed system

\begin{matrix} (A + δ A) x = b + δ b \\ | δ a_{i j} | \leq β | a_{i j} | and | δ b_{i} | \leq β | b_{i} | . \end{matrix}

Then the function estimates a bound for the component-wise forward error in the computed solution, defined by:

\max_{i} | x_{i} - {\hat{x}}_{i} | / \max_{i} | x_{i} |

where

\hat{x}

is the true solution.

For details of the method, see the F07 Chapter Introduction.

7 Accuracy

The bounds returned in ferr are not rigorous, because they are estimated, not computed exactly; but in practice they almost always overestimate the actual error.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07tvc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07tvc 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

A call to f07tvc, for each right-hand side, involves solving a number of systems of linear equations of the form

A x = b

A^{H} x = b

; the number is usually

5

and never more than

11

. Each solution involves approximately

4 n^{2}

real floating-point operations.

The real analogue of this function is f07thc.
