Description

nag_zgetrs (f07asc) is used to solve a complex system of linear equations

A X = B

A^{T} X = B

A^{H} X = B

, the function must be preceded by a call to nag_zgetrf (f07arc) which computes the

L U

factorization of

A

A = P L U

. The solution is computed by forward and backward substitution.

trans = Nag_NoTrans

, the solution is computed by solving

P L Y = B

and then

U X = Y

trans = Nag_Trans

, the solution is computed by solving

U^{T} Y = B

and then

L^{T} P^{T} X = Y

trans = Nag_ConjTrans

, the solution is computed by solving

U^{H} Y = B

and then

L^{H} P^{T} X = Y

Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderTypeInput

On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by

Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector

b

, the computed solution

x

is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations

(A + E) x = b

, where

|E| \leq c (n) ε P |L| |U|,

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision.

\hat{x}

is the true solution, then the computed solution

x

satisfies a forward error bound of the form

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

where

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

Note that

cond (A, x)

can be much smaller than

cond (A)

, and

cond (A^{H})

(which is the same as

cond (A^{T})

) can be much larger (or smaller) than

cond (A)

Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling nag_zgerfs (f07avc), and an estimate for

κ_{\infty} (A)

can be obtained by calling nag_zgecon (f07auc) with

norm = Nag_InfNorm

Parallelism and Performance

nag_zgetrs (f07asc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_zgetrs (f07asc) 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.

Further Comments

The total number of real floating-point operations is approximately

8 n^{2} r

This function may be followed by a call to nag_zgerfs (f07avc) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.

The real analogue of this function is nag_dgetrs (f07aec).

Example

This example solves the system of equations

A X = B

, where

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 1.34 + 2.55 i & 0.28 + 3.17 i & - 6.39 - 2.20 i & 0.72 - 0.92 i \\ - 0.17 - 1.41 i & 3.31 - 0.15 i & - 0.15 + 1.34 i & 1.29 + 1.38 i \\ - 3.29 - 2.39 i & - 1.91 + 4.42 i & - 0.14 - 1.35 i & 1.72 + 1.35 i \\ 2.41 + 0.39 i & - 0.56 + 1.47 i & - 0.83 - 0.69 i & - 1.96 + 0.67 i \end{array})

and

B = (\begin{array}{r} 26.26 + 51.78 i & 31.32 - 6.70 i \\ 6.43 - 8.68 i & 15.86 - 1.42 i \\ - 5.75 + 25.31 i & - 2.15 + 30.19 i \\ 1.16 + 2.57 i & - 2.56 + 7.55 i \end{array}) .

Here

A

is nonsymmetric and must first be factorized by nag_zgetrf (f07arc).
