that has been stored in band-symmetric storage. f07hdc must be called first to supply the Cholesky factorized form. The storage (upper or lower triangular) used by f07hdc is relevant as this determines which elements of the stored factorized form are referenced.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

void	f03bhc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer kd, const double ab[], Integer pdab, double d, Integer id, NagError *fail)

The function may be called by the names: f03bhc or nag_det_real_band_sym.

3 Description

The determinant of

A

is calculated using the Cholesky factorization

A = U^{T} U

, where

U

is an upper triangular band matrix, or

A = L L^{T}

, where

L

is a lower triangular band matrix. The determinant of

A

is the product of the squares of the diagonal elements of

U

L

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderType Input

On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by

order = Nag_RowMajor

. See Section 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $uplo$ – Nag_UploType Input

On entry: indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of

A

was stored and how it was factorized. This should not be altered following a call to f07hdc.

$uplo = Nag_Upper$: The upper triangular part of $A$ was originally stored and $A$ was factorized as $U^{T} U$ where $U$ is upper triangular.
$uplo = Nag_Lower$: The lower triangular part of $A$ was originally stored and $A$ was factorized as $L L^{T}$ where $L$ is lower triangular.

Constraint:

uplo = Nag_Upper

Nag_Lower

3: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n > 0

4: $kd$ – Integer Input

On entry:

k_{d}

, the number of superdiagonals or subdiagonals of the matrix

A

Constraint:

kd \geq 0

5: $ab [\dim]$ – const double Input

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ab must be at least

\max (1, pdab \times n)

On entry: the Cholesky factor of

A

, as returned by f07hdc.

6: $pdab$ – Integer Input

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix in the array ab.

Constraint:

pdab \geq kd + 1

7: $d$ – double * Output

8: $id$ – Integer * Output

On exit: the determinant of

A

is given by

d \times {2.0}^{id}

. It is given in this form to avoid overflow or underflow.

9: $fail$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM: On entry, argument $⟨ value ⟩$ had an illegal value.
NE_INT: On entry, $kd = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $kd \geq 0$ .

On entry, $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $n > 0$ .
NE_INT_2: On entry, $pdab = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $kd = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $pdab \geq kd + 1$ .
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_MAT_NOT_POS_DEF: The matrix $A$ is not positive definite.
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.

7 Accuracy

The accuracy of the determinant depends on the conditioning of the original matrix. For a detailed error analysis see page 54 of Wilkinson and Reinsch (1971).

8 Parallelism and Performance

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

f03bhc is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

The time taken by f03bhc is approximately proportional to

n

This function should only be used when

m ≪ n

since as

m

approaches

n

, it becomes less efficient to take advantage of the band form.

10 Example

This example calculates the determinant of the real symmetric positive definite band matrix

(\begin{array}{r} 5 & −4 & 1 \\ −4 & 6 & −4 & 1 \\ 1 & −4 & 6 & −4 & 1 \\ 1 & −4 & 6 & −4 & 1 \\ 1 & −4 & 6 & −4 & 1 \\ 1 & −4 & 6 & −4 \\ 1 & −4 & 5 \end{array}) .
