1 Purpose

f11jdc solves a system of linear equations involving the preconditioning matrix corresponding to SSOR applied to a real sparse symmetric matrix, represented in symmetric coordinate storage format.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f11jdc (Integer n, Integer nnz, const double a[], const Integer irow[], const Integer icol[], const double rdiag[], double omega, Nag_SparseSym_CheckData check, const double y[], double x[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f11jdc, nag_sparse_real_symm_precon_ssor_solve or nag_sparse_sym_precon_ssor_solve.

3 Description

f11jdc solves a system of equations
Mx=y  
involving the preconditioning matrix
M=1ω(2-ω) (D+ωL) D-1 (D+ωL)T  
corresponding to symmetric successive-over-relaxation (SSOR) (see Young (1971)) on a linear system Ax=b, where A is a sparse symmetric matrix stored in symmetric coordinate storage (SCS) format (see Section 2.1.2 in the F11 Chapter Introduction).
In the definition of M given above D is the diagonal part of A, L is the strictly lower triangular part of A, and ω is a user-defined relaxation parameter.
It is envisaged that a common use of f11jdc will be to carry out the preconditioning step required in the application of f11gec to sparse linear systems. f11jdc is also used for this purpose by the Black Box function f11jec.

5 Arguments

1: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n1.
2: nnz Integer Input
On entry: the number of nonzero elements in the lower triangular part of A.
Constraint: 1nnzn×(n+1)/2.
3: a[nnz] const double Input
On entry: the nonzero elements in the lower triangular part of the matrix A, ordered by increasing row index, and by increasing column index within each row. Multiple entries for the same row and column indices are not permitted. The function f11zbc may be used to order the elements in this way.
4: irow[nnz] const Integer Input
5: icol[nnz] const Integer Input
On entry: the row and column indices of the nonzero elements supplied in array a.
Constraints:
irow and icol must satisfy these constraints (which may be imposed by a call to f11zbc):
  • 1irow[i]n and 1icol[i]irow[i], for i=0,1,,nnz-1;
  • irow[i-1]<irow[i] or irow[i-1]=irow[i] and icol[i-1]<icol[i], for i=1,2,,nnz-1.
6: rdiag[n] const double Input
On entry: the elements of the diagonal matrix D-1, where D is the diagonal part of A.
7: omega double Input
On entry: the relaxation parameter ω.
Constraint: 0.0<omega<2.0.
8: check Nag_SparseSym_CheckData Input
On entry: specifies whether or not the input data should be checked.
check=Nag_SparseSym_Check
Checks are carried out on the values of n, nnz, irow, icol and omega.
check=Nag_SparseSym_NoCheck
None of these checks are carried out.
See also Section 9.2.
Constraint: check=Nag_SparseSym_Check or Nag_SparseSym_NoCheck.
9: y[n] const double Input
On entry: the right-hand side vector y.
10: x[n] double Output
On exit: the solution vector x.
11: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

7 Accuracy

The computed solution x is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations (M+δM)x=y, where
|δM|c(n)ε|D+ωL||D-1||(D+ωL)T|,  
c(n) is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f11jdc is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

9.1 Timing

The time taken for a call to f11jdc is proportional to nnz.

9.2 Use of check

It is expected that a common use of f11jdc will be to carry out the preconditioning step required in the application of f11gec to sparse symmetric linear systems. In this situation f11jdc is likely to be called many times with the same matrix M. In the interests of both reliability and efficiency, you are recommended to set check=Nag_SparseSym_Check for the first of such calls, and to set check=Nag_SparseSym_NoCheck for all subsequent calls.

10 Example

This example solves a sparse symmetric linear system of equations
Ax=b,  
using the conjugate-gradient (CG) method with SSOR preconditioning.
The CG algorithm itself is implemented by the reverse communication function f11gec, which returns repeatedly to the calling program with various values of the argument irevcm. This argument indicates the action to be taken by the calling program.
For further details see the function document for f11gec.
