Accuracy
The computed solution for a single right-hand side,
, satisfies an equation of the form
where
and
is the
machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by
where
, the condition number of
with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of
Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
nag_zposvx (f07fpc) is a comprehensive LAPACK driver that returns forward and backward error bounds and an estimate of the condition number. Alternatively,
nag_herm_posdef_lin_solve (f04cdc) solves
and returns a forward error bound and condition estimate.
nag_herm_posdef_lin_solve (f04cdc) calls
nag_zposv (f07fnc) to solve the equations.

Parallelism and Performance
nag_zposv (f07fnc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_zposv (f07fnc) 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.
The total number of floating-point operations is approximately , where is the number of right-hand sides.
The real analogue of this function is
nag_dposv (f07fac).
