void	f07npc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_FactoredFormType fact, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const Complex a[], Integer pda, Complex af[], Integer pdaf, Integer ipiv[], const Complex b[], Integer pdb, Complex x[], Integer pdx, double rcond, double ferr[], double berr[], NagError fail)

The function may be called by the names: f07npc, nag_lapacklin_zsysvx or nag_zsysvx.

3 Description

f07npc performs the following steps:

1.If $fact = Nag_NotFactored$ , the diagonal pivoting method is used to factor $A$ . The form of the factorization is $A = U D U^{T}$ if $uplo = Nag_Upper$ or $A = L D L^{T}$ if $uplo = Nag_Lower$ , where $U$ (or $L$ ) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower) triangular matrices, and $D$ is symmetric and block diagonal with $1 \times 1$ and $2 \times 2$ diagonal blocks.
2.If some $d_{i i} = 0$ , so that $D$ is exactly singular, then the function returns with $fail . errnum = i$ and $fail . code =$ NE_SINGULAR. Otherwise, the factored form of $A$ is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix $A$ . If the reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision, $fail . code =$ NE_SINGULAR_WP is returned as a warning, but the function still goes on to solve for $X$ and compute error bounds as described below.
3.The system of equations is solved for $X$ using the factored form of $A$ .
4.Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and to calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.

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 $D$ is exactly singular, so the solution and error bounds could not be computed. $rcond = 0.0$ is returned.
NE_SINGULAR_WP: $D$ is nonsingular, but rcond is less than machine precision, meaning that the matrix is singular to working precision. Nevertheless, the solution and error bounds are computed because there are a number of situations where the computed solution can be more accurate than the value of rcond would suggest.

7 Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector

b

, the computed solution

\hat{x}

is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations

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

, where

{‖ E ‖}_{1} = O (ε) {‖ A ‖}_{1},

where

ε

is the machine precision. See Chapter 11 of Higham (2002) for further details.

\hat{x}

is the true solution, then the computed solution

x

satisfies a forward error bound of the form

\frac{{‖ x - \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty}}{{‖ \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty}} \leq w_{c} cond (A, \hat{x}, b)

where

cond (A, \hat{x}, b) = {‖ | A^{- 1} | (| A | | \hat{x} | + | b |) ‖}_{\infty} / {‖ \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty} \leq cond (A) = {‖ | A^{- 1} | | A | ‖}_{\infty} \leq κ_{\infty} (A)

. If

\hat{x}

is the

j

th column of

X

, then

w_{c}

is returned in

berr [j - 1]

and a bound on

{‖ x - \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty} / {‖ \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty}

is returned in

ferr [j - 1]

. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

8 Parallelism and Performance

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

f07npc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07npc 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 factorization of

A

requires approximately

\frac{4}{3} n^{3}

floating-point operations.

For each right-hand side, computation of the backward error involves a minimum of

16 n^{2}

floating-point operations. Each step of iterative refinement involves an additional

24 n^{2}

operations. At most five steps of iterative refinement are performed, but usually only one or two steps are required. Estimating the forward error involves solving a number of systems of equations of the form

A x = b

; the number is usually

4

5

and never more than

11

. Each solution involves approximately

8 n^{2}

operations.

The real analogue of this function is f07mbc. The complex Hermitian analogue of this function is f07mpc.
