f11dsc solves a complex sparse non-Hermitian system of linear equations, represented in coordinate storage format, using a restarted generalized minimal residual (RGMRES), conjugate gradient squared (CGS), stabilized bi-conjugate gradient (Bi-CGSTAB), or transpose-free quasi-minimal residual (TFQMR) method, without preconditioning, with Jacobi, or with SSOR preconditioning.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

void	f11dsc (Nag_SparseNsym_Method method, Nag_SparseNsym_PrecType precon, Integer n, Integer nnz, const Complex a[], const Integer irow[], const Integer icol[], double omega, const Complex b[], Integer m, double tol, Integer maxitn, Complex x[], double rnorm, Integer itn, NagError *fail)

The function may be called by the names: f11dsc, nag_sparse_complex_gen_solve_jacssor or nag_sparse_nherm_sol.

3 Description

f11dsc solves a complex sparse non-Hermitian system of linear equations:

A x = b,

using an RGMRES (see Saad and Schultz (1986)), CGS (see Sonneveld (1989)), Bi-CGSTAB(

ℓ

) (see Van der Vorst (1989) and Sleijpen and Fokkema (1993)), or TFQMR (see Freund and Nachtigal (1991) and Freund (1993)) method.

f11dsc allows the following choices for the preconditioner:

–no preconditioning;
–Jacobi preconditioning (see Young (1971));
–symmetric successive-over-relaxation (SSOR) preconditioning (see Young (1971)).

For incomplete

L U

(ILU) preconditioning see f11dqc.

The matrix

A

is represented in coordinate storage (CS) format (see Section 2.1.1 in the F11 Chapter Introduction) in the arrays a, irow and icol. The array a holds the nonzero entries in the matrix, while irow and icol hold the corresponding row and column indices.

f11dsc is a Black Box function which calls f11brc, f11bsc and f11btc. If you wish to use an alternative storage scheme, preconditioner, or termination criterion, or require additional diagnostic information, you should call these underlying functions directly.

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

You should check the output value of rnorm for acceptability. This error code usually implies that your problem has been fully and satisfactorily solved to within or close to the accuracy available on your system. Further iterations are unlikely to improve on this situation.; A nonzero element has been supplied which does not lie in the matrix $A$ , is out of order, or has duplicate row and column indices. Consider calling f11znc to reorder and sum or remove duplicates.; Jacobi and SSOR preconditioners are not appropriate for this problem.

7 Accuracy

On successful termination, the final residual

r_{k} = b - A x_{k}

, where

k = itn

, satisfies the termination criterion

{‖ r_{k} ‖}_{\infty} \leq τ \times ({‖ b ‖}_{\infty} + {‖ A ‖}_{\infty} {‖ x_{k} ‖}_{\infty}) .

The value of the final residual norm is returned in rnorm.

8 Parallelism and Performance

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

f11dsc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f11dsc 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 time taken by f11dsc for each iteration is roughly proportional to nnz.

The number of iterations required to achieve a prescribed accuracy cannot easily be determined a priori, as it can depend dramatically on the conditioning and spectrum of the preconditioned coefficient matrix

\bar{A} = M^{−1} A

, for some preconditioning matrix

M
