Arguments

1:    $\mathbf{order}$ – 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 $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$. 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: $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$.

2:    $\mathbf{trans}$ – Nag_TransTypeInput

On entry: if $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_NoTrans}$, the linear system involves $A$.

If $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_ConjTrans}$, the linear system involves $A^{\mathrm{H}}$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_NoTrans}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ConjTrans}$.

3:    $\mathbf{m}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $m$, the number of rows of the matrix $A$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{m}\ge 0$.

4:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the number of columns of the matrix $A$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

5:    $\mathbf{nrhs}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $r$, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrices $B$ and $X$.

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

6:    $\mathbf{a}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – ComplexInput/Output

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

• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{pda}\times \mathbf{n}\right)$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{m}\times \mathbf{pda}\right)$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

The $\left(i,j\right)$th element of the matrix $A$ is stored in

• $\mathbf{a}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pda}+i-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\mathbf{a}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pda}+j-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

On entry: the $m$ by $n$ matrix $A$.

On exit: if $\mathbf{m}\ge \mathbf{n}$, a is overwritten by details of its $QR$ factorization, as returned by nag_zgeqrf (f08asc).

If $\mathbf{m}<\mathbf{n}$, a is overwritten by details of its $LQ$ factorization, as returned by nag_zgelqf (f08avc).

7:    $\mathbf{pda}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$, $\mathbf{pda}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{m}\right)$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$, $\mathbf{pda}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$.

8:    $\mathbf{b}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – ComplexInput/Output

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

• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{pdb}\times \mathbf{nrhs}\right)$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\max \left(1,\max \left(1,\mathbf{m},\mathbf{n}\right)\times \mathbf{pdb}\right)$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

The $\left(i,j\right)$th element of the matrix $B$ is stored in

• $\mathbf{b}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdb}+i-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\mathbf{b}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdb}+j-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

On entry: the matrix $B$ of right-hand side vectors, stored in rows or columns; b is $m$ by $r$ if $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_NoTrans}$, or $n$ by $r$ if $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_ConjTrans}$.

On exit: b is overwritten by the solution vectors, $x$, stored in rows or columns:

• if $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_NoTrans}$ and $m\ge n$, or $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_ConjTrans}$ and $m<n$, elements $1$ to $\min \left(m,n\right)$ in each column of b contain the least squares solution vectors; the residual sum of squares for the solution is given by the sum of squares of the modulus of elements $\left(\min \left(m,n\right)+1\right)$ to $\max \left(m,n\right)$ in that column;
• otherwise, elements $1$ to $\max \left(m,n\right)$ in each column of b contain the minimum norm solution vectors.

9:    $\mathbf{pdb}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array b.

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$, $\mathbf{pdb}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{m},\mathbf{n}\right)$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$, $\mathbf{pdb}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{nrhs}\right)$.

10:  $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).
