CL Name Style:


1 Purpose

f07cnc computes the solution to a complex system of linear equations
AX=B ,  
where A is an n×n tridiagonal matrix and X and B are n×r matrices.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f07cnc (Nag_OrderType order, Integer n, Integer nrhs, Complex dl[], Complex d[], Complex du[], Complex b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f07cnc, nag_lapacklin_zgtsv or nag_zgtsv.

3 Description

f07cnc uses Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges to solve the equations AX=B . The matrix A is factorized as A=PLU , where P is a permutation matrix, L is unit lower triangular with at most one nonzero subdiagonal element per column, and U is an upper triangular band matrix, with two superdiagonals.
Note that the equations ATX=B may be solved by interchanging the order of the arguments du and dl.

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: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
3: nrhs Integer Input
On entry: r, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix B.
Constraint: nrhs0.
4: dl[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array dl must be at least max(1,n-1).
On entry: must contain the (n-1) subdiagonal elements of the matrix A.
On exit: if no constraints are violated, dl is overwritten by the (n-2) elements of the second superdiagonal of the upper triangular matrix U from the LU factorization of A, in dl[0],dl[1],,dl[n-3].
5: d[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array d must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: must contain the n diagonal elements of the matrix A.
On exit: if no constraints are violated, d is overwritten by the n diagonal elements of the upper triangular matrix U from the LU factorization of A.
6: du[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array du must be at least max(1,n-1).
On entry: must contain the (n-1) superdiagonal elements of the matrix A.
On exit: if no constraints are violated, du is overwritten by the (n-1) elements of the first superdiagonal of U.
7: 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: if fail.code= NE_NOERROR, the n×r solution matrix X.
8: 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).
9: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

On entry, pdb=value and n=value.
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.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_SINGULAR
Element value of the diagonal is exactly zero, and the solution has not been computed. The factorization has not been completed unless n=value.

7 Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side, x^ , satisfies an equation of the form
(A+E) x^ = b ,  
where
E1 = O(ε) A1  
and ε is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by
x^-x1 x1 κ(A) E1 A1 ,  
where κ(A) = A-11 A1 , the condition number of A with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
Alternatives to f07cnc, which return condition and error estimates are f04ccc and f07cpc.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f07cnc 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 required to solve the equations AX=B is proportional to nr .
