f07cpc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_FactoredFormType fact, Nag_TransType trans, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const Complex dl[], const Complex d[], const Complex du[], Complex dlf[], Complex df[], Complex duf[], Complex du2[], Integer ipiv[], const Complex b[], Integer pdb, Complex x[], Integer pdx, double *rcond, double ferr[], double berr[], NagError *fail)

The function may be called by the names: f07cpc, nag_lapacklin_zgtsvx or nag_zgtsvx.

3 Description

f07cpc performs the following steps:

1.If $fact = Nag_NotFactored$ , the $L U$ decomposition is used to factor the matrix $A$ as $A = L U$ , where $L$ is a product of permutation and unit lower bidiagonal matrices and $U$ is upper triangular with nonzeros in only the main diagonal and first two superdiagonals.
2.If some $u_{i i} = 0$ , so that $U$ is exactly singular, then the function returns with $fail . errnum = i$ . Otherwise, the factored form of $A$ is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix $A$ . If the reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision, $fail . code =$ NE_SINGULAR_WP is returned as a warning, but the function still goes on to solve for $X$ and compute error bounds as described below.
3.The system of equations is solved for $X$ using the factored form of $A$ .
4.Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and to calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.

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, so the solution and error bounds could not be computed. $rcond = 0.0$ is returned.

Element $⟨ value ⟩$ of the diagonal is exactly zero. The factorization has not been completed, but the factor $U$ is exactly singular, so the solution and error bounds could not be computed. $rcond = 0.0$ is returned.
NE_SINGULAR_WP: $U$ is nonsingular, but rcond is less than machine precision, meaning that the matrix is singular to working precision. Nevertheless, the solution and error bounds are computed because there are a number of situations where the computed solution can be more accurate than the value of rcond would suggest.

7 Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector

b

, the computed solution

\hat{x}

is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations

(A + E) \hat{x} = b

, where

| E | \leq c (n) ε | L | | U |,

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision. See Section 9.3 of Higham (2002) for further details.

x

is the true solution, then the computed solution

\hat{x}

satisfies a forward error bound of the form

\frac{{‖ x - \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty}}{{‖ \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty}} \leq w_{c} cond (A, \hat{x}, b)

where

cond (A, \hat{x}, b) = {‖ | A^{- 1} | (| A | | \hat{x} | + | b |) ‖}_{\infty} / {‖ \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty} \leq cond (A) = {‖ | A^{- 1} | | A | ‖}_{\infty} \leq κ_{\infty} (A)

. If

\hat{x}

is the

j

th column of

X

, then

w_{c}

is returned in

berr [j - 1]

and a bound on

{‖ x - \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty} / {‖ \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty}

is returned in

ferr [j - 1]

. 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.

f07cpc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07cpc 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 required to solve the equations

A X = B

is proportional to

n r

The condition number estimation typically requires between four and five solves and never more than eleven solves, following the factorization. The solution is then refined, and the errors estimated, using iterative refinement.

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 this function is f07cbc.
