3 Description

The Cholesky factorization is used to factor

A

A = U^{H} U

, if

uplo = Nag_Upper

, or

A = L L^{H}

, if

uplo = Nag_Lower

, where

U

is an upper triangular band matrix with

k

superdiagonals, and

L

is a lower triangular band matrix with

k

subdiagonals. The factored form of

A

is then used to solve the system of equations

A X = B

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. f04cfc uses the approximation

{‖ E ‖}_{1} = ε {‖ A ‖}_{1}

to estimate errbnd. 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.

f04cfc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f04cfc 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 schemes for the array ab are identical to the storage schemes for symmetric and Hermitian band matrices in Chapter F07. See Section 3.4.4 in the F07 Chapter Introduction for details of the storage schemes and an illustrated example.

uplo = Nag_Upper

then the elements of the stored upper triangular part of

A

are overwritten by the corresponding elements of the upper triangular matrix

U

. Similarly, if

uplo = Nag_Lower

then the elements of the stored lower triangular part of

A

are overwritten by the corresponding elements of the lower triangular matrix

L

Assuming that

n ≫ k

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

A X = B

is approximately

{n (k + 1)}^{2}

for the factorization and

4 n k r

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.

The real analogue of f04cfc is f04bfc.

10 Example

This example solves the equations

A X = B,

where

A

is the Hermitian positive definite band matrix

A = (\begin{array}{r} 9.39 & 1.08 - 1.73 i & 0 & 0 \\ 1.08 + 1.73 i & 1.69 & - 0.04 + 0.29 i & 0 \\ 0 & - 0.04 - 0.29 i & 2.65 & - 0.33 + 2.24 i \\ 0 & 0 & - 0.33 - 2.24 i & 2.17 \end{array})

and

B = (\begin{array}{r} - 12.42 + 68.42 i & 54.30 - 56.56 i \\ - 9.93 + 0.88 i & 18.32 + 4.76 i \\ - 27.30 - 0.01 i & - 4.40 + 9.97 i \\ 5.31 + 23.63 i & 9.43 + 1.41 i \end{array}) .

An estimate of the condition number of

A

and an approximate error bound for the computed solutions are also printed.
