naginterfaces.library.lapacklin.dppsv(uplo, ap, b)

dppsv computes the solution to a real system of linear equations

$$AX=B\text{,}$$

where $A$ is an $n\times n$ symmetric positive definite matrix stored in packed format and $X$ and $B$ are $n\times r$ matrices.

Parameters

uplostr, length 1

If $uplo=\text{'U'}$, the upper triangle of $A$ is stored.

If $uplo=\text{'L'}$, the lower triangle of $A$ is stored.

apfloat, array-like, shape $(n\times (n+1)/2)$

The $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $A$, packed by columns.

bfloat, array-like, shape $(n,\text{nrhs})$

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

Returns

apfloat, ndarray, shape $(n\times (n+1)/2)$

If no exception or warning is raised, the factor $U$ or $L$ from the Cholesky factorization $A=U^{T}U$ or $A=L{L}^T$, in the same storage format as $A$.

bfloat, ndarray, shape $(n,\text{nrhs})$

If no exception or warning is raised, the $n\times r$ solution matrix $X$.

Raises

NagValueError

(errno $-1$)

On entry, error in parameter $uplo$.

Constraint: $uplo=\text{'U'}$ or $\text{'L'}$.

(errno $-2$)

On entry, error in parameter $\text{n}$.

Constraint: $n\ge 0$.

(errno $-3$)

On entry, error in parameter $\text{nrhs}$.

Constraint: $\text{nrhs}\ge 0$.

(errno $i>0$)

The leading minor of order $⟨value⟩$ of $A$ is not positive definite, so the factorization could not be completed, and the solution has not been computed.

Notes

dppsv uses the Cholesky decomposition to factor $A$ as $A=U^{T}U$ if $uplo=\text{'U'}$ or $A=L{L}^T$ if $uplo=\text{'L'}$, where $U$ is an upper triangular matrix and $L$ is a lower triangular matrix. The factored form of $A$ is then used to solve the system of equations $AX=B$.
