void	nag_zpttrs (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const double d[], const Complex e[], Complex b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

3

Description

nag_zpttrs (f07jsc) should be preceded by a call to nag_zpttrf (f07jrc), which computes a modified Cholesky factorization of the matrix

A

A = L D L^{H},

where

L

is a unit lower bidiagonal matrix and

D

is a diagonal matrix, with positive diagonal elements. nag_zpttrs (f07jsc) then utilizes the factorization to solve the required equations. Note that the factorization may also be regarded as having the form

U^{H} D U

, where

U

is a unit upper bidiagonal matrix.

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

order = Nag_RowMajor

. See Section 3.3.1.3 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $uplo$ – Nag_UploTypeInput

On entry: specifies the form of the factorization as follows:

$uplo = Nag_Upper$: $A = U^{H} D U$ .
$uplo = Nag_Lower$: $A = L D L^{H}$ .

Constraint:

uplo = Nag_Upper

Nag_Lower

3: $n$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: $nrhs$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

r

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

B

Constraint:

nrhs \geq 0

5: $d [\dim]$ – const doubleInput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array d must be at least

\max (1, n)

On entry: must contain the

7: $b [\dim]$ – ComplexInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least

$\max (1, pdb \times nrhs)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

B

is stored in

$b [(j - 1) \times pdb + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$b [(i - 1) \times pdb + j - 1]$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side,

\hat{x}

, satisfies an equation of the form

(A + E) \hat{x} = b,

where

{‖E‖}_{1} = O (ε) {‖A‖}_{1}

and

ε

is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by

\frac{{‖\hat{x} - x‖}_{1}}{{‖x‖}_{1}} \leq κ (A) \frac{{‖E‖}_{1}}{{‖A‖}_{1}},

where

κ (A) = {‖A^{- 1}‖}_{1} {‖A‖}_{1}

, 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.

Following the use of this function nag_zptcon (f07juc) can be used to estimate the condition number of

A

and nag_zptrfs (f07jvc) can be used to obtain approximate error bounds.

Parallelism and Performance

nag_zpttrs (f07jsc) 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 floating-point operations required to solve the equations

A X = B

is proportional to

n r

The real analogue of this function is nag_dpttrs (f07jec).
