Purpose

nag_sparse_herm_basic_diagnostic (f11gtc) is the third in a suite of three functions for the iterative solution of a complex Hermitian system of simultaneous linear equations (see Golub and Van Loan (1996)). nag_sparse_herm_basic_diagnostic (f11gtc) returns information about the computations during an iteration and/or after this has been completed. The first function of the suite, nag_sparse_herm_basic_setup (f11grc), is a setup function, the second function, nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc) is the proper iterative solver.
These three functions are suitable for the solution of large sparse complex Hermitian systems of equations.

Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf11.h>
void  nag_sparse_herm_basic_diagnostic (Integer *itn, double *stplhs, double *stprhs, double *anorm, double *sigmax, Integer *its, double *sigerr, const Complex work[], Integer lwork, NagError *fail)

Description

nag_sparse_herm_basic_diagnostic (f11gtc) returns information about the solution process. It can be called both during a monitoring step of the solver nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc) or after this solver has completed its tasks. Calling nag_sparse_herm_basic_diagnostic (f11gtc) at any other time will result in an error condition being raised.
For further information you should read the documentation for nag_sparse_herm_basic_setup (f11grc) and nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc).

Arguments

1:     itn Integer *Output
On exit: the number of iterations carried out by nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc).
2:     stplhs double *Output
On exit: the current value of the left-hand side of the termination criterion used by nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc).
3:     stprhs double *Output
On exit: the current value of the right-hand side of the termination criterion used by nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc).
4:     anorm double *Output
On exit: the norm A1=A when either it has been supplied to nag_sparse_herm_basic_setup (f11grc) or it has been estimated by nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc) (see also Sections 3 and 5 in nag_sparse_herm_basic_setup (f11grc)).
Otherwise, anorm=0.0 is returned.
5:     sigmax double *Output
On exit: the current estimate of the largest singular value σ1A- of the preconditioned iteration matrix A-=E-1AE-H, when either it has been supplied to nag_sparse_herm_basic_setup (f11grc) or it has been estimated by nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc) (see also Sections 3 and 5 in nag_sparse_herm_basic_setup (f11grc)). Note that if its<itn then sigmax contains the final estimate. If, on final exit from nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc), its=itn, the estimation of σ1A- may have not converged: in this case you should look at the value returned in sigerr. Otherwise, sigmax=0.0 is returned.
6:     its Integer *Output
On exit: the number of iterations employed so far in the computation of the estimate of σ1A-, the largest singular value of the preconditioned matrix A-=E-1AE-H, when σ1A- has been estimated by nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc) using the bisection method (see also Sections 3, 5 and 9 in nag_sparse_herm_basic_setup (f11grc)). Otherwise, its=0 is returned.
7:     sigerr double *Output
On exit: if σ1A- has been estimated by nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc) using bisection,
sigerr=maxσ1k-σ1k-1σ1k,σ1k-σ1k-2σ1k ,  
where k=its denotes the iteration number. The estimation has converged if sigerrsigtol where sigtol is an input argument to nag_sparse_herm_basic_setup (f11grc).
Otherwise, sigerr=0.0 is returned.
8:     work[lwork] const ComplexCommunication Array
On entry: the array work as returned by nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc) (see also Section 3 in nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc)).
9:     lwork IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array work (see also Section 5 in nag_sparse_herm_basic_setup (f11grc)).
Constraint: lwork120.
Note:  although the minimum value of lwork ensures the correct functioning of nag_sparse_herm_basic_diagnostic (f11gtc), a larger value is required by the iterative solver nag_sparse_herm_basic_solver (f11gsc) (see also Section 5 in nag_sparse_herm_basic_setup (f11grc)).
10:   fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).
