The routine may be called by the names f04cbf or nagf_linsys_complex_band_solve.
3Description
The decomposition with partial pivoting and row interchanges is used to factor as , where is a permutation matrix, is the product of permutation matrices and unit lower triangular matrices with subdiagonals, and is upper triangular with superdiagonals. The factored form of is then used to solve the system of equations .

12: – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to , or to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of means that an error message is printed while a value of means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value or is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value is recommended. Otherwise, the value is recommended. When the value or is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).
6Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry or , explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
Diagonal element of the upper triangular factor is zero. The factorization has been completed, but the solution could not be computed.
A solution has been computed, but rcond is less than machine precision so that the matrix is numerically singular.

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f04cbf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f04cbf 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.

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

Storage of the band matrix in the array ab:
Array elements marked need not be set and are not referenced by the routine. Array elements marked + need not be set, but are defined on exit from the routine and contain the elements

The total number of floating-point operations required to solve the equations depends upon the pivoting required, but if then it is approximately bounded by for the factorization and for the solution following the factorization. The condition number estimation typically requires between four and five solves and never more than eleven solves, following the factorization.
In practice the condition number estimator is very reliable, but it can underestimate the true condition number; see Section 15.3 of Higham (2002) for further details.
