1Purpose

nag_zpftrs (f07wsc) solves a complex Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,
 $AX=B ,$
using the Cholesky factorization computed by nag_zpftrf (f07wrc) stored in Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) format.

2Specification

 #include #include
 void nag_zpftrs (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_RFP_Store transr, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const Complex ar[], Complex b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

3Description

nag_zpftrs (f07wsc) is used to solve a complex Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations $AX=B$, the function must be preceded by a call to nag_zpftrf (f07wrc) which computes the Cholesky factorization of $A$, stored in RFP format. The RFP storage format is described in Section 3.3.3 in the f07 Chapter Introduction. The solution $X$ is computed by forward and backward substitution.
If ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Upper}$, $A={U}^{\mathrm{H}}U$, where $U$ is upper triangular; the solution $X$ is computed by solving ${U}^{\mathrm{H}}Y=B$ and then $UX=Y$.
If ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Lower}$, $A=L{L}^{\mathrm{H}}$, where $L$ is lower triangular; the solution $X$ is computed by solving $LY=B$ and then ${L}^{\mathrm{H}}X=Y$.

7Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector $b$, the computed solution $x$ is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations $\left(A+E\right)x=b$, where
• if ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Upper}$, $\left|E\right|\le c\left(n\right)\epsilon \left|{U}^{\mathrm{H}}\right|\left|U\right|$;
• if ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Lower}$, $\left|E\right|\le c\left(n\right)\epsilon \left|L\right|\left|{L}^{\mathrm{H}}\right|$,
$c\left(n\right)$ is a modest linear function of $n$, and $\epsilon$ is the machine precision.
If $\stackrel{^}{x}$ is the true solution, then the computed solution $x$ satisfies a forward error bound of the form
 $x-x^∞ x∞ ≤cncondA,xε$
where $\mathrm{cond}\left(A,x\right)={‖\left|{A}^{-1}\right|\left|A\right|\left|x\right|‖}_{\infty }/{‖x‖}_{\infty }\le \mathrm{cond}\left(A\right)={‖\left|{A}^{-1}\right|\left|A\right|‖}_{\infty }\le {\kappa }_{\infty }\left(A\right)$ and ${\kappa }_{\infty }\left(A\right)$ is the condition number when using the $\infty$-norm.
Note that $\mathrm{cond}\left(A,x\right)$ can be much smaller than $\mathrm{cond}\left(A\right)$.

8Parallelism and Performance

nag_zpftrs (f07wsc) 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.

The total number of real floating-point operations is approximately $8{n}^{2}r$.
The real analogue of this function is nag_dpftrs (f07wec).

10Example

This example solves the system of equations $AX=B$, where
 $A= 3.23+0.00i 1.51-1.92i 1.90+0.84i 0.42+2.50i 1.51+1.92i 3.58+0.00i -0.23+1.11i -1.18+1.37i 1.90-0.84i -0.23-1.11i 4.09+0.00i 2.33-0.14i 0.42-2.50i -1.18-1.37i 2.33+0.14i 4.29+0.00i$
and
 $B= 3.93-06.14i 1.48+06.58i 6.17+09.42i 4.65-04.75i -7.17-21.83i -4.91+02.29i 1.99-14.38i 7.64-10.79i .$
Here $A$ is Hermitian positive definite, stored in RFP format, and must first be factorized by nag_zpftrf (f07wrc).
