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: $m$ – Integer Input

On entry:

m

, the number of rows of the matrix

A

Constraint:

m \geq 0

3: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the number of columns of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: $kl$ – Integer Input

On entry:

k_{l}

, the number of subdiagonals within the band of the matrix

A

Constraint:

kl \geq 0

5: $ku$ – Integer Input

On entry:

k_{u}

, the number of superdiagonals within the band of the matrix

A

Constraint:

ku \geq 0

6: $ab [\dim]$ – double Input/Output

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

$\max (1, pdab \times n)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$\max (1, m \times pdab)$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

On entry: the

m \times n

matrix

A

This is stored as a notional two-dimensional array with row elements or column elements stored contiguously. The storage of elements

A_{i j}

, for row

i = 1, \dots, m

and column

j = \max (1, i - k_{l}), \dots, \min (n, i + k_{u})

, depends on the order argument as follows:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $A_{i j}$ is stored as $ab [(j - 1) \times pdab + kl + ku + i - j]$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $A_{i j}$ is stored as $ab [(i - 1) \times pdab + kl + j - i]$ .

See Section 9 in f07bac for further details.

On exit: ab is overwritten by details of the factorization.

The elements,

u_{i j}

, of the upper triangular band factor

U

with

k_{l} + k_{u}

super-diagonals, and the multipliers,

l_{i j}

, used to form the lower triangular factor

L

are stored. The elements

u_{i j}

, for

i = 1, \dots, m

and

j = i, \dots, \min (n, i + k_{l} + k_{u})

, and

l_{i j}

, for

i = 1, \dots, m

and

j = \max (1, i - k_{l}), \dots, i

, are stored where

A_{i j}

is stored on entry.

7: $pdab$ – Integer Input

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

A

in the array ab.

Constraint:

pdab \geq 2 \times kl + ku + 1

8: $ipiv [\min (m, n)]$ – Integer Output

On exit: the pivot indices that define the permutation matrix. At the

i

th step, if

ipiv [i - 1] > i

then row

i

of the matrix

A

was interchanged with row

ipiv [i - 1]

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, \min (m, n)

ipiv [i - 1] \leq i

indicates that, at the

i

th step, a row interchange was not required.

9: $fail$ – NagError * Input/Output

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

On entry, $ku = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $ku \geq 0$ .

On entry, $m = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $m \geq 0$ .

On entry, $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $n \geq 0$ .

On entry, $pdab = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

NE_INT_3: On entry, $pdab = ⟨ value ⟩$ , $kl = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $ku = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $pdab \geq 2 \times kl + ku + 1$ .
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_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 $U$ is exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it is used to solve a system of equations.

7 Accuracy

The computed factors

L

and

U

are the exact factors of a perturbed matrix

A + E

, where

| E | \leq c (k) ε P | L | | U |,

c (k)

is a modest linear function of

k = k_{l} + k_{u} + 1

, and

ε

is the machine precision. This assumes

k ≪ \min (m, n)

8 Parallelism and Performance

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

f07bdc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07bdc 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 total number of floating-point operations varies between approximately

2 n k_{l} (k_{u} + 1)

and

2 n k_{l} (k_{l} + k_{u} + 1)

, depending on the interchanges, assuming

m = n ≫ k_{l}

and

n ≫ k_{u}

A call to f07bdc may be followed by calls to the functions:

f07bec to solve $A X = B$ or $A^{T} X = B$ ;
f07bgc to estimate the condition number of $A$ .

The complex analogue of this function is f07brc.

10 Example

This example computes the

L U

factorization of the matrix

A

, where

A = (\begin{matrix} - 0.23 & 2.54 & - 3.66 & 0.00 \\ - 6.98 & 2.46 & - 2.73 & - 2.13 \\ 0.00 & 2.56 & 2.46 & 4.07 \\ 0.00 & 0.00 & - 4.78 & - 3.82 \end{matrix}) .

Here

A

is treated as a band matrix with one subdiagonal and two superdiagonals.
