1  Purpose

F07AEF (DGETRS) solves a real system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,
AX=B   or   ATX=B ,  
where A has been factorized by F07ADF (DGETRF).

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F07AEF ( TRANS, N, NRHS, A, LDA, IPIV, B, LDB, INFO)
INTEGER  N, NRHS, LDA, IPIV(*), LDB, INFO
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  A(LDA,*), B(LDB,*)
CHARACTER(1)  TRANS
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name dgetrs.

3  Description

F07AEF (DGETRS) is used to solve a real system of linear equations AX=B or ATX=B, the routine must be preceded by a call to F07ADF (DGETRF) which computes the LU factorization of A as A=PLU. The solution is computed by forward and backward substitution.
If TRANS='N', the solution is computed by solving PLY=B and then UX=Y.
If TRANS='T' or 'C', the solution is computed by solving UTY=B and then LTPTX=Y.

5  Parameters

1:     TRANS – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: indicates the form of the equations.
TRANS='N'
AX=B is solved for X.
TRANS='T' or 'C'
ATX=B is solved for X.
Constraint: TRANS='N', 'T' or 'C'.
2:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: N0.
3:     NRHS – INTEGERInput
On entry: r, the number of right-hand sides.
Constraint: NRHS0.
4:     ALDA* – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the second dimension of the array A must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the LU factorization of A, as returned by F07ADF (DGETRF).
5:     LDA – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array A as declared in the (sub)program from which F07AEF (DGETRS) is called.
Constraint: LDAmax1,N.
6:     IPIV* – INTEGER arrayInput
Note: the dimension of the array IPIV must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the pivot indices, as returned by F07ADF (DGETRF).
7:     BLDB* – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array B must be at least max1,NRHS.
On entry: the n by r right-hand side matrix B.
On exit: the n by r solution matrix X.
8:     LDB – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array B as declared in the (sub)program from which F07AEF (DGETRS) is called.
Constraint: LDBmax1,N.
9:     INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit: INFO=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

INFO<0
If INFO=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

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
EcnεPLU ,  
cn is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.
If x^ is the true solution, then the computed solution x satisfies a forward error bound of the form
x-x^ x cncondA,xε  
where condA,x = A-1 A x / x condA = A-1 A κ A .
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 F07AHF (DGERFS), and an estimate for κA can be obtained by calling F07AGF (DGECON) with NORM='I'.

8  Parallelism and Performance

F07AEF (DGETRS) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
F07AEF (DGETRS) 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 routine. 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 2n2r.
This routine may be followed by a call to F07AHF (DGERFS) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The complex analogue of this routine is F07ASF (ZGETRS).

10  Example

This example solves the system of equations AX=B, where
A= 1.80 2.88 2.05 -0.89 5.25 -2.95 -0.95 -3.80 1.58 -2.69 -2.90 -1.04 -1.11 -0.66 -0.59 0.80   and   B= 9.52 18.47 24.35 2.25 0.77 -13.28 -6.22 -6.21 .  
Here A is nonsymmetric and must first be factorized by F07ADF (DGETRF).
