On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by

order = Nag_RowMajor

. See Section 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $m$ – Integer Input

On entry:

m

, the number of rows of the matrix

A

Constraint:

m \geq 0

3: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the number of columns of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: $a [\dim]$ – Complex Input/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least

$\max (1, pda \times n)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$\max (1, m \times pda)$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

A

is stored in

$a [(j - 1) \times pda + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$a [(i - 1) \times pda + j - 1]$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

On entry: the

m \times n

matrix

A

On exit: the factors

L

and

U

from the factorization

A = P L U

; the unit diagonal elements of

L

are not stored.

5: $pda$ – Integer Input

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.

Constraints:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $pda \geq \max (1, m)$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $pda \geq \max (1, n)$ .

6: $ipiv [\min (m, n)]$ – Integer Output

On exit: the pivot indices that define the permutation matrix. At the

i

th step, if

ipiv [i - 1] > i

then row

i

of the matrix

A

was interchanged with row

ipiv [i - 1]

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, \min (m, n)

ipiv [i - 1] \leq i

indicates that, at the

i

th step, a row interchange was not required.

7: $fail$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM: On entry, argument $⟨ value ⟩$ had an illegal value.
NE_INT: On entry, $m = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $m \geq 0$ .

On entry, $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $n \geq 0$ .

On entry, $pda = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $pda > 0$ .
NE_INT_2: On entry, $pda = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $m = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $pda \geq \max (1, m)$ .

On entry, $pda = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $pda \geq \max (1, n)$ .
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_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: Element $⟨ value ⟩$ of the diagonal is exactly zero. The factorization has been completed, but the factor $U$ is exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it is used to solve a system of equations.

7 Accuracy

The computed factors

L

and

U

are the exact factors of a perturbed matrix

A + E

, where

| E | \leq c (\min (m, n)) ε P | L | | U |,

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

f07arc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07arc 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 total number of real floating-point operations is approximately

\frac{8}{3} n^{3}

m = n

(the usual case),

\frac{4}{3} n^{2} (3 m - n)

m > n

and

\frac{4}{3} m^{2} (3 n - m)

m < n

A call to this function with

m = n

may be followed by calls to the functions:

f07asc to solve $A X = B$ , $A^{T} X = B$ or $A^{H} X = B$ ;
f07auc to estimate the condition number of $A$ ;
f07awc to compute the inverse of $A$ .

The real analogue of this function is f07adc.
