The routine may be called by the names f07hbf, nagf_lapacklin_dpbsvx or its LAPACK name dpbsvx.

3 Description

f07hbf performs the following steps:

1.If $fact ='E'$ , real diagonal scaling factors, $D_{S}$ , are computed to equilibrate the system:

$(D_{S} A D_{S}) (D_{S}^{- 1} X) = D_{S} B .$

Whether or not the system will be equilibrated depends on the scaling of the matrix $A$ , but if equilibration is used, $A$ is overwritten by $D_{S} A D_{S}$ and $B \times D_{S} B$ .
2.If $fact ='N'$ or $'E'$ , the Cholesky decomposition is used to factor the matrix $A$ (after equilibration if $fact ='E'$ ) as $A = U^{T} U$ if $uplo ='U'$ or $A = L L^{T}$ if $uplo ='L'$ , where $U$ is an upper triangular matrix and $L$ is a lower triangular matrix.
3.If the leading $i \times i$ principal minor of $A$ is not positive definite, then the routine returns with $info = i$ . 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, $info = n + 1$ is returned as a warning, but the routine still goes on to solve for $X$ and compute error bounds as described below.
4.The system of equations is solved for $X$ using the factored form of $A$ .
5.Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and to calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.
6.If equilibration was used, the matrix $X$ is premultiplied by $D_{S}$ so that it solves the original system before equilibration.

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$info < 0$: If $info = - i$ , argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

$info > 0 and info \leq n$: 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.

$info = n + 1$: $U$ (or $L$ ) 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

x

is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations

(A + E) x = b

, where

if $uplo ='U'$ , $| E | \leq c (n) ε | U^{T} | | U |$ ;
if $uplo ='L'$ , $| E | \leq c (n) ε | L | | L^{T} |$ ,

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.

\hat{x}

is the true solution, then the computed solution

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)

and a bound on

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

is returned in

ferr (j)

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

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07hbf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07hbf 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 routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

When

n ≫ k

, the factorization of

A

requires approximately

n {(k + 1)}^{2}

floating-point operations, where

k

is the number of superdiagonals.

For each right-hand side, computation of the backward error involves a minimum of

8 n k

floating-point operations. Each step of iterative refinement involves an additional

12 n k

operations. At most five steps of iterative refinement are performed, but usually only one or two steps are required. Estimating the forward error involves solving a number of systems of equations of the form

A x = b

; the number is usually

4

5

and never more than

11

. Each solution involves approximately

4 n k

operations.

The complex analogue of this routine is f07hpf.

10 Example

This example solves the equations

A X = B,

where

A

is the symmetric positive definite band matrix

A = (\begin{array}{r} 5.49 & 2.68 & 0 & 0 \\ 2.68 & 5.63 & - 2.39 & 0 \\ 0 & - 2.39 & 2.60 & - 2.22 \\ 0 & 0 & - 2.22 & 5.17 \end{array})

and

B = (\begin{matrix} 22.09 & 5.10 \\ 9.31 & 30.81 \\ - 5.24 & - 25.82 \\ 11.83 & 22.90 \end{matrix}) .

Error estimates for the solutions, information on equilibration and an estimate of the reciprocal of the condition number of the scaled matrix

A

are also output.
