f01kcc (complex_​gen_​matrix_​cond_​usd)

1 Purpose

f01kcc computes an estimate of the absolute condition number of a matrix function f of a complex n by n matrix A in the 1-norm, using analytical derivatives of f you have supplied.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f01kcc (Integer n, Complex a[], Integer pda,
void (*f)(Integer m, Integer *iflag, Integer nz, const Complex z[], Complex fz[], Nag_Comm *comm),
Nag_Comm *comm, Integer *iflag, double *conda, double *norma, double *normfa, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f01kcc or nag_matop_complex_gen_matrix_cond_usd.

3 Description

The absolute condition number of f at A, condabsf,A is given by the norm of the Fréchet derivative of f, LA, which is defined by
LX := maxE0 LX,E E ,  
where LX,E is the Fréchet derivative in the direction E. LX,E is linear in E and can therefore be written as
vec LX,E = KX vecE ,  
where the vec operator stacks the columns of a matrix into one vector, so that KX is n2×n2. f01kcc computes an estimate γ such that γ KX 1 , where KX 1 n-1 LX 1 , n LX 1 . The relative condition number can then be computed via
cond rel f,A = cond abs f,A A1 fA 1 .  
The algorithm used to find γ is detailed in Section 3.4 of Higham (2008).

5 Arguments

1: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
2: a[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least pda×n.
The i,jth element of the matrix A is stored in a[j-1×pda+i-1].
On entry: the n by n matrix A.
On exit: the n by n matrix, fA.
3: pda Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating matrix row elements in the array a.
Constraint: pdan.
4: f function, supplied by the user External Function
Given an integer m, the function f evaluates fmzi at a number of points zi.
The specification of f is:
void  f (Integer m, Integer *iflag, Integer nz, const Complex z[], Complex fz[], Nag_Comm *comm)
1: m Integer Input
On entry: the order, m, of the derivative required.
If m=0, fzi should be returned. For m>0, fmzi should be returned.
2: iflag Integer * Input/Output
On entry: iflag will be zero.
On exit: iflag should either be unchanged from its entry value of zero, or may be set nonzero to indicate that there is a problem in evaluating the function fz; for instance fz may not be defined. If iflag is returned as nonzero then f01kcc will terminate the computation, with fail.code= NE_USER_STOP.
3: nz Integer Input
On entry: nz, the number of function or derivative values required.
4: z[dim] const Complex Input
On entry: the nz points z1,z2,,znz at which the function f is to be evaluated.
5: fz[dim] Complex Output
On exit: the nz function or derivative values. fz[i-1] should return the value fmzi, for i=1,2,,nz.
6: comm Nag_Comm *
Pointer to structure of type Nag_Comm; the following members are relevant to f.
userdouble *
iuserInteger *
pPointer 
The type Pointer will be void *. Before calling f01kcc you may allocate memory and initialize these pointers with various quantities for use by f when called from f01kcc (see Section 3.1.1 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).
Note: f should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by f01kcc. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, f01kcc is likely to produce unexpected results.
5: comm Nag_Comm *
The NAG communication argument (see Section 3.1.1 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).
6: iflag Integer * Output
On exit: iflag=0, unless iflag has been set nonzero inside f, in which case iflag will be the value set and fail will be set to fail.code= NE_USER_STOP.
7: conda double * Output
On exit: an estimate of the absolute condition number of f at A.
8: norma double * Output
On exit: the 1-norm of A.
9: normfa double * Output
On exit: the 1-norm of fA.
10: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

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.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
An internal error occurred when estimating the norm of the Fréchet derivative of f at A. Please contact NAG.
An internal error occurred when evaluating the matrix function fA. You can investigate further by calling f01fmc with the matrix A and the function f.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.

NE_USER_STOP
Termination requested in f.

7 Accuracy

f01kcc uses the norm estimation function f04zdc to estimate a quantity γ, where γ KX 1 and KX 1 n-1 LX 1 , n LX 1 . For further details on the accuracy of norm estimation, see the documentation for f04zdc.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f01kcc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library. In these implementations, this function may make calls to the user-supplied functions from within an OpenMP parallel region. Thus OpenMP pragmas within the user functions can only be used if you are compiling the user-supplied function and linking the executable in accordance with the instructions in the Users' Note for your implementation. You must also ensure that you use the NAG communication argument comm in a thread safe manner, which is best achieved by only using it to supply read-only data to the user functions.
f01kcc 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

Approximately 6n2 of complex allocatable memory is required by the routine, in addition to the memory used by the underlying matrix function routine f01fmc.
f01kcc returns the matrix function fA. This is computed using f01fmc. If only fA is required, without an estimate of the condition number, then it is far more efficient to use f01fmc directly.
The real analogue of this function is f01jcc.
