Description
nag_dtbrfs (f07vhc) returns the backward errors and estimated bounds on the forward errors for the solution of a real triangular band system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides or . The function handles each right-hand side vector (stored as a column of the matrix ) independently, so we describe the function of nag_dtbrfs (f07vhc) in terms of a single right-hand side and solution .
Given a computed solution
, the function computes the
component-wise
backward error
. This is the size of the smallest relative perturbation in each element of
and
such that
is the exact solution of a perturbed system
Then the function estimates a bound for the
component-wise forward
error in the computed solution, defined by:
where
is the true solution.
For details of the method, see the
f07 Chapter Introduction.

Accuracy
The bounds returned in
ferr are not rigorous, because they are estimated, not computed exactly; but in practice they almost always overestimate the actual error.

Parallelism and Performance
nag_dtbrfs (f07vhc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_dtbrfs (f07vhc) 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.
A call to nag_dtbrfs (f07vhc), for each right-hand side, involves solving a number of systems of linear equations of the form or ; the number is usually or and never more than . Each solution involves approximately floating-point operations (assuming ).
The complex analogue of this function is
nag_ztbrfs (f07vvc).
