f11dec solves a real sparse nonsymmetric system of linear equations, represented in coordinate storage format, using a restarted generalized minimal residual (RGMRES), conjugate gradient squared (CGS), or stabilized bi-conjugate gradient (Bi-CGSTAB) method, without preconditioning, with Jacobi, or with SSOR preconditioning.
The matrix is represented in coordinate storage (CS) format (see the F11 Chapter Introduction) in the arrays a, irow and icol. The array a holds the nonzero entries in the matrix, while irow and icol hold the corresponding row and column indices.

6Error Indicators and Warnings
NE_ACC_LIMIT
The required accuracy could not be obtained. However, a reasonable accuracy has been obtained and further iterations cannot improve the result.
You should check the output value of rnorm for acceptability. This error code usually implies that your problem has been fully and satisfactorily solved to within or close to the accuracy available on your system. Further iterations are unlikely to improve on this situation.
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.
NE_NONSYMM_MATRIX_DUP
A nonzero matrix element has been supplied which does not lie within the matrix , is out of order or has duplicate row and column indices, i.e., one or more of the following constraints has been violated:
and , for .
, or
and , for .
Call f11zac to reorder and sum or remove duplicates.
NE_NOT_REQ_ACC
The required accuracy has not been obtained in maxitn iterations.
NE_REAL
On entry, .
Constraint: when .
NE_REAL_ARG_GE
On entry, tol must not be greater than or equal to 1: .
NE_ZERO_DIAGONAL_ELEM
On entry, the matrix a has a zero diagonal element. Jacobi and SSOR preconditioners are not appropriate for this problem.
7Accuracy
On successful termination, the final residual , where , satisfies the termination criterion
The value of the final residual norm is returned in rnorm.
8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f11dec is not threaded in any implementation.
9Further Comments
The time taken by f11dec for each iteration is roughly proportional to nnz.
The number of iterations required to achieve a prescribed accuracy cannot be easily determined a priori, as it can depend dramatically on the conditioning and spectrum of the preconditioned matrix of the coefficients .
