void	f07bnc (Nag_OrderType order, Integer n, Integer kl, Integer ku, Integer nrhs, Complex ab[], Integer pdab, Integer ipiv[], Complex b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

The function may be called by the names: f07bnc, nag_lapacklin_zgbsv or nag_zgbsv.

3 Description

f07bnc uses the

L U

decomposition with partial pivoting and row interchanges to factor

A

A = P L U

, where

P

is a permutation matrix,

L

is a product of permutation and unit lower triangular matrices with

k_{l}

subdiagonals, and

U

is upper triangular with

(k_{l} + k_{u})

superdiagonals. The factored form of

A

is then used to solve the system of equations

A X = B

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderType Input

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: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

3: $kl$ – Integer Input

On entry:

k_{l}

, the number of subdiagonals within the band of the matrix

A

Constraint:

kl \geq 0

4: $ku$ – Integer Input

On entry:

6: $ab [\dim]$ – Complex Input/Output

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

\max (1, pdab \times n)

On entry: the

n \times n

coefficient matrix

A

This is stored as a notional two-dimensional array with row elements or column elements stored contiguously. The storage of elements

A_{i j}

, for row

i = 1, \dots, n

and column

j = \max (1, i - k_{l}), \dots, \min (n, i + k_{u})

, depends on the order argument as follows:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $A_{i j}$ is stored as $ab [(j - 1) \times pdab + kl + ku + i - j]$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $A_{i j}$ is stored as $ab [(i - 1) \times pdab + kl + j - i]$ .

See Section 9 for further details.

On exit: ab is overwritten by details of the factorization.

The elements,

u_{i j}

, of the upper triangular band factor

U

with

k_{l} + k_{u}

super-diagonals, and the multipliers,

L

are stored. The elements

and

, and

, are stored where

A_{i j}

is stored on entry.

A

in the array ab.

P

; at the

th step row

i

of the matrix was interchanged with row

ipiv [i - 1]

ipiv [i - 1] = i

indicates a row interchange was not required.

9: $b [\dim]$ – Complex Input/Output

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

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

7 Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side,

\hat{x}

, satisfies an equation of the form

(A + E) \hat{x} = b,

where

{‖ E ‖}_{1} = O (ε) {‖ A ‖}_{1}

and

ε

is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by

\frac{{‖ \hat{x} - x ‖}_{1}}{{‖ x ‖}_{1}} \leq κ (A) \frac{{‖ E ‖}_{1}}{{‖ A ‖}_{1}},

where

κ (A) = {‖ A^{- 1} ‖}_{1} {‖ A ‖}_{1}

, the condition number of

A

with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

Following the use of f07bnc, f07buc can be used to estimate the condition number of

A

and f07bvc can be used to obtain approximate error bounds. Alternatives to f07bnc, which return condition and error estimates directly are f04cbc and f07bpc.

8 Parallelism and Performance

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

f07bnc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07bnc 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 band storage scheme for the array ab is illustrated by the following example, when

n = 6

k_{l} = 1

, and

k_{u} = 2

. Storage of the band matrix

A

in the array ab:

\begin{matrix} order = Nag_ColMajor \\ \begin{matrix} * & * & * & + & + & + \\ * & * & a_{13} & a_{24} & a_{35} & a_{46} \\ * & a_{12} & a_{23} & a_{34} & a_{45} & a_{56} \\ a_{11} & a_{22} & a_{33} & a_{44} & a_{55} & a_{66} \\ a_{21} & a_{32} & a_{43} & a_{54} & a_{65} & * \end{matrix} \end{matrix} \begin{matrix} order = Nag_RowMajor \\ \begin{matrix} * & a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} & + \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} & a_{24} & + \\ a_{32} & a_{33} & a_{34} & a_{35} & + \\ a_{43} & a_{44} & a_{45} & a_{46} & * \\ a_{54} & a_{55} & a_{56} & * & * \\ a_{65} & a_{66} & * & * & * \end{matrix} \end{matrix}

Array elements marked

*

need not be set and are not referenced by the function. Array elements marked

+

need not be set, but are defined on exit from the function and contain the elements

u_{14}

u_{25}

and

u_{36}

The total number of floating-point operations required to solve the equations

A X = B

depends upon the pivoting required, but if

n ≫ k_{l} + k_{u}

then it is approximately bounded by

O (n k_{l} (k_{l} + k_{u}))

for the factorization and

O (n (2 k_{l} + k_{u}) r)

for the solution following the factorization.

The real analogue of this function is f07bac.

This example solves the equations

and

b = (\begin{array}{r} - 1.06 + 21.50 i \\ - 22.72 - 53.90 i \\ 28.24 - 38.60 i \\ - 34.56 + 16.73 i \end{array}) .
