1 Purpose

f07cvf computes error bounds and refines the solution to a complex system of linear equations AX=B or ATX=B or AHX=B , where A is an n × n tridiagonal matrix and X and B are n × r matrices, using the LU factorization returned by f07crf and an initial solution returned by f07csf. Iterative refinement is used to reduce the backward error as much as possible.

3 Description

f07cvf should normally be preceded by calls to f07crf and f07csf. f07crf uses Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges to factorize the matrix A as
A=PLU ,  
where P is a permutation matrix, L is unit lower triangular with at most one nonzero subdiagonal element in each column, and U is an upper triangular band matrix, with two superdiagonals. f07csf then utilizes the factorization to compute a solution, X^ , to the required equations. Letting x^ denote a column of X^ , f07cvf computes a component-wise backward error, β , the smallest relative perturbation in each element of A and b such that x^ is the exact solution of a perturbed system
(A+E) x^=b+f , with  |eij| β |aij| , and  |fj| β |bj| .  
The routine also estimates a bound for the component-wise forward error in the computed solution defined by max |xi-xi^| / max |xi^| , where x is the corresponding column of the exact solution, X .

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

info<0
If info=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

7 Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side, x^ , satisfies an equation of the form
(A+E) x^=b ,  
where
E=O(ε)A  
and ε is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by
x^-x x κ(A) E A ,  
where κ(A)=A-1 A , the condition number of A with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
Routine f07cuf can be used to estimate the condition number of A .

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f07cvf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f07cvf 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 routine. 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 AX=B or ATX=B or AHX=B is proportional to nr . At most five steps of iterative refinement are performed, but usually only one or two steps are required.
The real analogue of this routine is f07chf.
