f07uvc returns error bounds for the solution of a complex triangular system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides, , or , using packed storage.
The function may be called by the names: f07uvc, nag_lapacklin_ztprfs or nag_ztprfs.
3Description
f07uvc returns the backward errors and estimated bounds on the forward errors for the solution of a complex triangular system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides , or , using packed storage. The function handles each right-hand side vector (stored as a column of the matrix ) independently, so we describe the function of f07uvc in terms of a single right-hand side and solution .
Given a computed solution , the function computes the component-wise backward error
. This is the size of the smallest relative perturbation in each element of and such that is the exact solution of a perturbed system
Then the function estimates a bound for the component-wise forward error in the computed solution, defined by:

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.
7Accuracy
The bounds returned in ferr are not rigorous, because they are estimated, not computed exactly; but in practice they almost always overestimate the actual error.
8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f07uvc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f07uvc 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.
9Further Comments
A call to f07uvc, for each right-hand side, involves solving a number of systems of linear equations of the form or ; the number is usually and never more than . Each solution involves approximately real floating-point operations.
