1 Purpose

f07aec solves a real system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,
AX=B   or   ATX=B ,  
where A has been factorized by f07adc.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f07aec (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_TransType trans, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const double a[], Integer pda, const Integer ipiv[], double b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f07aec, nag_lapacklin_dgetrs or nag_dgetrs.

3 Description

f07aec is used to solve a real system of linear equations AX=B or ATX=B, the function must be preceded by a call to f07adc which computes the LU factorization of A as A=PLU. The solution is computed by forward and backward substitution.
If trans=Nag_NoTrans, the solution is computed by solving PLY=B and then UX=Y.
If trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans, the solution is computed by solving UTY=B and then LTPTX=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.

Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2: trans Nag_TransType Input
On entry: indicates the form of the equations.
trans=Nag_NoTrans
AX=B is solved for X.
trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans
ATX=B is solved for X.
Constraint: trans=Nag_NoTrans, Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans.

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
|E|c(n)εP|L||U| ,  
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| / x cond(A) = |A-1||A| κ (A) .
Note that cond(A,x) can be much smaller than cond(A), and cond(AT) can be much larger (or smaller) than cond(A).
Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling f07ahc, and an estimate for κ(A) can be obtained by calling f07agc with norm=Nag_InfNorm.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07aec is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f07aec 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 floating-point operations is approximately 2n2r.
This function may be followed by a call to f07ahc to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The complex analogue of this function is f07asc.

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 f07adc.
