1  Purpose

nag_dgbtrs (f07bec) solves a real band system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,
AX=B   or   ATX=B ,  
where A has been factorized by nag_dgbtrf (f07bdc).

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf07.h>
void  nag_dgbtrs (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_TransType trans, Integer n, Integer kl, Integer ku, Integer nrhs, const double ab[], Integer pdab, const Integer ipiv[], double b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_dgbtrs (f07bec) is used to solve a real band system of linear equations AX=B or ATX=B, the function must be preceded by a call to nag_dgbtrf (f07bdc) which computes the LU factorization of A as A=PLU. The solution is computed by forward and backward substitution.
If trans=Nag_NoTrans, the solution is computed by solving PLY=B and then UX=Y.
If trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans, the solution is computed by solving UTY=B and then LTPTX=Y.

7  Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector b, the computed solution x is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations A+Ex=b, where
EckεPLU ,  
ck is a modest linear function of k=kl+ku+1, and ε is the machine precision. This assumes kn.
If x^ is the true solution, then the computed solution x satisfies a forward error bound of the form
x-x^ x ckcondA,xε  
where condA,x=A-1Ax/xcondA=A-1AκA.
Note that condA,x can be much smaller than condA, and condAT can be much larger (or smaller) than condA.
Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling nag_dgbrfs (f07bhc), and an estimate for κA can be obtained by calling nag_dgbcon (f07bgc) with norm=Nag_InfNorm.

8  Parallelism and Performance

nag_dgbtrs (f07bec) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_dgbtrs (f07bec) 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.

9  Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately 2n2kl+kur, assuming nkl and nku.
This function may be followed by a call to nag_dgbrfs (f07bhc) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The complex analogue of this function is nag_zgbtrs (f07bsc).

10  Example

This example solves the system of equations AX=B, where
A= -0.23 2.54 -3.66 0.00 -6.98 2.46 -2.73 -2.13 0.00 2.56 2.46 4.07 0.00 0.00 -4.78 -3.82   and   B= 4.42 -36.01 27.13 -31.67 -6.14 -1.16 10.50 -25.82 .  
Here A is nonsymmetric and is treated as a band matrix, which must first be factorized by nag_dgbtrf (f07bdc).
