Description

f07pef (dsptrs) is used to solve a real symmetric indefinite system of linear equations AX=B, the routine must be preceded by a call to f07pdf (dsptrf) which computes the Bunch–Kaufman factorization of A, using packed storage.
If uplo='U', A=PUDUTPT, where P is a permutation matrix, U is an upper triangular matrix and D is a symmetric block diagonal matrix with 1 by 1 and 2 by 2 blocks; the solution X is computed by solving PUDY=B and then UTPTX=Y.
If uplo='L', A=PLDLTPT, where L is a lower triangular matrix; the solution X is computed by solving PLDY=B and then LTPTX=Y.

Arguments

1:     uplo – Character(1)Input
On entry: specifies how A has been factorized.
uplo='U'
A=PUDUTPT, where U is upper triangular.
uplo='L'
A=PLDLTPT, where L is lower triangular.
Constraint: uplo='U' or 'L'.
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:     ap* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the dimension of the array ap must be at least max1,n×n+1/2.
On entry: the factorization of A stored in packed form, as returned by f07pdf (dsptrf).
5:     ipiv* – Integer arrayInput
Note: the dimension of the array ipiv must be at least max1,n.
On entry: details of the interchanges and the block structure of D, as returned by f07pdf (dsptrf).
6:     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.
7:     ldb – IntegerInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array b as declared in the (sub)program from which f07pef (dsptrs) is called.
Constraint: ldbmax1,n.
8:     info – IntegerOutput
On exit: info=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 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.

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 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-1Ax/xcondA=A-1AκA.
Note that condA,x can be much smaller than condA.
Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling f07phf (dsprfs), and an estimate for κA (=κ1A) can be obtained by calling f07pgf (dspcon).

Parallelism and Performance

f07pef (dsptrs) 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.

Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately 2n2r.
This routine may be followed by a call to f07phf (dsprfs) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The complex analogues of this routine are f07psf (zhptrs) for Hermitian matrices and f07qsf (zsptrs) for symmetric matrices.

Example

This example solves the system of equations AX=B, where
A= 2.07 3.87 4.20 -1.15 3.87 -0.21 1.87 0.63 4.20 1.87 1.15 2.06 -1.15 0.63 2.06 -1.81   and   B= -9.50 27.85 -8.38 9.90 -6.07 19.25 -0.96 3.93 .  
Here A is symmetric indefinite, stored in packed form, and must first be factorized by f07pdf (dsptrf).
