naginterfaces.library.lapacklin.dgtrfs(trans, n, nrhs, dl, d, du, dlf, df, duf, du2, ipiv, b, x)

dgtrfs computes error bounds and refines the solution to a real system of linear equations $AX=B$ or $A^{T}X=B$, where $A$ is an $n\times n$ tridiagonal matrix and $X$ and $B$ are $n\times r$ matrices, using the $LU$ factorization returned by dgttrf() and an initial solution returned by dgttrs(). Iterative refinement is used to reduce the backward error as much as possible.

Parameters

transstr, length 1

Specifies the equations to be solved as follows:

$trans=\text{'N'}$

Solve $AX=B$ for $X$.

$trans=\text{'T'}$ or $\text{'C'}$

Solve $A^{T}X=B$ for $X$.

nint

$n$, the order of the matrix $A$.

nrhsint

$r$, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix $B$.

dlfloat, array-like, shape $(n-1)$

Must contain the $(n-1)$ subdiagonal elements of the matrix $A$.

dfloat, array-like, shape $\left(n\right)$

Must contain the $n$ diagonal elements of the matrix $A$.

dufloat, array-like, shape $(n-1)$

Must contain the $(n-1)$ superdiagonal elements of the matrix $A$.

dlffloat, array-like, shape $(n-1)$

Must contain the $(n-1)$ multipliers that define the matrix $L$ of the $LU$ factorization of $A$.

dffloat, array-like, shape $\left(n\right)$

Must contain the $n$ diagonal elements of the upper triangular matrix $U$ from the $LU$ factorization of $A$.

duffloat, array-like, shape $(n-1)$

Must contain the $(n-1)$ elements of the first superdiagonal of $U$.

du2float, array-like, shape $(n-2)$

Must contain the $(n-2)$ elements of the second superdiagonal of $U$.

ipivint, array-like, shape $\left(n\right)$

Must contain the $n$ pivot indices that define the permutation matrix $P$. At the $i$th step, row $i$ of the matrix was interchanged with row $ipiv[i-1]$, and $ipiv[i-1]$ must always be either $i$ or $(i+1)$, $ipiv[i-1]=i$ indicating that a row interchange was not performed.

bfloat, array-like, shape $(n,nrhs)$

The $n\times r$ matrix of right-hand sides $B$.

xfloat, array-like, shape $(n,nrhs)$

The $n\times r$ initial solution matrix $X$.

Returns

xfloat, ndarray, shape $(n,nrhs)$

The $n\times r$ refined solution matrix $X$.

ferrfloat, ndarray, shape $\left(nrhs\right)$

Estimate of the forward error bound for each computed solution vector, such that ${\Vert {\hat{x}}_j-x_j\Vert }_{\infty }/{\Vert {\hat{x}}_j\Vert }_{\infty }\le ferr[j-1]$, where ${\hat{x}}_j$ is the $j$th column of the computed solution returned in the array $x$ and $x_j$ is the corresponding column of the exact solution $X$. The estimate is almost always a slight overestimate of the true error.

berrfloat, ndarray, shape $\left(nrhs\right)$

Estimate of the component-wise relative backward error of each computed solution vector ${\hat{x}}_j$ (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element of $A$ or $B$ that makes ${\hat{x}}_j$ an exact solution).

Raises

NagValueError

(errno $-1$)

On entry, error in parameter $trans$.

Constraint: $trans=\text{'N'}$, $\text{'T'}$ or $\text{'C'}$.

(errno $-2$)

On entry, error in parameter $n$.

Constraint: $n\ge 0$.

(errno $-3$)

On entry, error in parameter $nrhs$.

Constraint: $nrhs\ge 0$.

Notes

dgtrfs should normally be preceded by calls to dgttrf() and dgttrs(). dgttrf() uses Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges to factorize the matrix $A$ as

$$A=PLU\text{,}$$

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. dgttrs() then utilizes the factorization to compute a solution, $\hat{X}$, to the required equations. Letting $\hat{x}$ denote a column of $\hat{X}$, dgtrfs computes a component-wise backward error, $\beta$, the smallest relative perturbation in each element of $A$ and $b$ such that $\hat{x}$ is the exact solution of a perturbed system

$$(A+E)\hat{x}=b+f\text{, with}\left|e_{ij}\right|\le \beta \left|a_{ij}\right|\text{, and}\left|f_j\right|\le \beta \left|b_j\right|\text{.}$$

The function also estimates a bound for the component-wise forward error in the computed solution defined by $max|x_i-\widehat{x_i}|/max\left|\widehat{x_i}\right|$, where $x$ is the corresponding column of the exact solution, $X$.
