The routine may be called by the names f08zaf, nagf_lapackeig_dgglse or its LAPACK name dgglse.
3Description
f08zaf solves the real linear equality-constrained least squares (LSE) problem
where is an matrix, is a matrix, is an element vector and is a element vector. It is assumed that , and , where . These conditions ensure that the LSE problem has a unique solution, which is obtained using a generalized factorization of the matrices and .

5Arguments
1: – IntegerInput
On entry: , the number of rows of the matrix .
Constraint:
.
2: – IntegerInput
On entry: , the number of columns of the matrices and .
Constraint:
.
3: – IntegerInput
On entry: , the number of rows of the matrix .
Constraint:
.
4: – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array a
must be at least
.
On exit: if , contains the minimum value of lwork required for optimal performance.
12: – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08zaf is called.
If , a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the work array, returns this value as the first entry of the work array, and no error message related to lwork is issued.
Suggested value:
for optimal performance, , where is the optimal block size.
Constraint:
or .
13: – IntegerOutput
On exit: unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).
6Error Indicators and Warnings
If , argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
The upper triangular factor associated with in the generalized factorization of the pair is singular, so that ; the least squares solution could not be computed.
The part of the upper trapezoidal factor associated with in the generalized factorization of the pair is singular, so that the rank of the matrix () comprising the rows of and is less than ; the least squares solutions could not be computed.
f08zaf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08zaf 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.
9Further Comments
When , the total number of floating-point operations is approximately ; if , the number reduces to approximately .
e04ncf/e04nca may also be used to solve LSE problems. It differs from f08zaf in that it uses an iterative (rather than direct) method, and that it allows general upper and lower bounds to be specified for the variables and the linear constraints .
