Nag_ColMajor	Nag_Lower	$L D L^{H}$
Nag_RowMajor	Nag_Upper	$U^{H} D U$
Nag_RowMajor	Nag_Lower	$L^{H} D L$

where

U

(or

L

) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower) triangular matrices, and

D

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.

f07mpc is a comprehensive LAPACK driver that returns forward and backward error bounds and an estimate of the condition number. Alternatively, f04chc solves

A x = b

and returns a forward error bound and condition estimate. f04chc calls f07mnc to solve the equations.

8 Parallelism and Performance

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

f07mnc 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 floating-point operations is approximately

\frac{4}{3} n^{3} + 8 n^{2} r

, where

r

is the number of right-hand sides.

The real analogue of this function is f07mac. The complex symmetric analogue of this function is f07nnc.
