1 Purpose

f07gsc solves a complex Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,
AX=B ,  
where A has been factorized by f07grc, using packed storage.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f07gsc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const Complex ap[], Complex b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f07gsc, nag_lapacklin_zpptrs or nag_zpptrs.

3 Description

f07gsc is used to solve a complex Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations AX=B, the function must be preceded by a call to f07grc which computes the Cholesky factorization of A, using packed storage. The solution X is computed by forward and backward substitution.
If uplo=Nag_Upper, A=UHU, where U is upper triangular; the solution X is computed by solving UHY=B and then UX=Y.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, A=LLH, where L is lower triangular; the solution X is computed by solving LY=B and then LHX=Y.

5 Arguments

1: order Nag_OrderType Input
On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by order=Nag_RowMajor. See Section 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2: uplo Nag_UploType Input
On entry: specifies how A has been factorized.
uplo=Nag_Upper
A=UHU, where U is upper triangular.
uplo=Nag_Lower
A=LLH, where L is lower triangular.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
3: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
4: nrhs Integer Input
On entry: r, the number of right-hand sides.
Constraint: nrhs0.
5: ap[dim] const Complex Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ap must be at least max(1,n×(n+1)/2).
On entry: the Cholesky factor of A stored in packed form, as returned by f07grc.
6: b[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least
  • max(1,pdb×nrhs) when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max(1,n×pdb) when order=Nag_RowMajor.
The (i,j)th element of the matrix B is stored in
  • b[(j-1)×pdb+i-1] when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • b[(i-1)×pdb+j-1] when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On entry: the n×r right-hand side matrix B.
On exit: the n×r solution matrix X.
7: pdb Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array b.
Constraints:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor, pdbmax(1,n);
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor, pdbmax(1,nrhs).
8: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
On entry, nrhs=value.
Constraint: nrhs0.

Constraint: pdbmax(1,n).
On entry, pdb=value and nrhs=value.
Constraint: pdbmax(1,nrhs).
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.

7 Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector b, the computed solution x is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations (A+E)x=b, where c(n) 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 c(n)cond(A,x)ε  
where cond(A,x)=|A-1||A||x|/xcond(A)=|A-1||A|κ(A).
Note that cond(A,x) can be much smaller than cond(A).
Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling f07gvc, and an estimate for κ(A) (=κ1(A)) can be obtained by calling f07guc.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07gsc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f07gsc 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 real floating-point operations is approximately 8n2r.
This function may be followed by a call to f07gvc to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The real analogue of this function is f07gec.

10 Example

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 packed form, and must first be factorized by f07grc.
