void	f07fsf_ (const char uplo, const Integer n, const Integer nrhs, const Complex a[], const Integer lda, Complex b[], const Integer ldb, Integer info, const Charlen length_uplo)

The routine may be called by the names f07fsf, nagf_lapacklin_zpotrs or its LAPACK name zpotrs.

3 Description

f07fsf is used to solve a complex Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations

A X = B

, this routine must be preceded by a call to f07frf which computes the Cholesky factorization of

A

. The solution

X

is computed by forward and backward substitution.

uplo ='U'

A = U^{H} U

, where

U

is upper triangular; the solution

X

is computed by solving

U^{H} Y = B

and then

U X = Y

uplo ='L'

A = L L^{H}

, where

L

is lower triangular; the solution

X

is computed by solving

L Y = B

and then

L^{H} X = Y

5 Arguments

1: $uplo$ – Character(1) Input

On entry: specifies how

A

has been factorized.

$uplo ='U'$: $A = U^{H} U$ , where $U$ is upper triangular.
$uplo ='L'$: $A = L L^{H}$ , where $L$ is lower triangular.

Constraint:

uplo ='U'

'L'

2: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

3: $nrhs$ – Integer Input

On entry:

r

, the number of right-hand sides.

Constraint:

nrhs \geq 0

4: $a (lda, *)$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input

Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least

\max (1, n)

On entry: the Cholesky factor of

A

, as returned by f07frf.

5: $lda$ – Integer Input

On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f07fsf is called.

Constraint:

lda \geq \max (1, n)

6: $b (ldb, *)$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

Note: the second dimension of the array b must be at least

\max (1, nrhs)

On entry: the

n \times r

right-hand side matrix

B

On exit: the

n \times r

solution matrix

X

7: $ldb$ – Integer Input

On entry: the first dimension of the array b as declared in the (sub)program from which f07fsf is called.

Constraint:

ldb \geq \max (1, n)

8: $info$ – Integer Output

On exit:

info = 0

unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$info < 0$: If $info = - i$ , argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

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

if $uplo ='U'$ , $| E | \leq c (n) ε | U^{H} | | U |$ ;
if $uplo ='L'$ , $| E | \leq c (n) ε | L | | L^{H} |$ ,

c (n)

is a modest linear function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision.

\hat{x}

is the true solution, then the computed solution

x

satisfies a forward error bound of the form

\frac{{‖ x - \hat{x} ‖}_{\infty}}{{‖ x ‖}_{\infty}} \leq c (n) cond (A, x) ε

where

cond (A, x) = {‖ | A^{- 1} | | A | | x | ‖}_{\infty} / {‖ x ‖}_{\infty} \leq cond (A) = {‖ | A^{- 1} | | A | ‖}_{\infty} \leq κ_{\infty} (A)

Note that

cond (A, x)

can be much smaller than

cond (A)

Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling f07fvf, and an estimate for

κ_{\infty} (A)

(

= κ_{1} (A)

) can be obtained by calling f07fuf.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

f07fsf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f07fsf 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 routine. 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

8 n^{2} r

This routine may be followed by a call to f07fvf to refine the solution and return an error estimate.

The real analogue of this routine is f07fef.

10 Example

This example solves the system of equations

A X = B

, where

A = (\begin{array}{r} 3.23 + 0.00 i & 1.51 - 1.92 i & 1.90 + 0.84 i & 0.42 + 2.50 i \\ 1.51 + 1.92 i & 3.58 + 0.00 i & - 0.23 + 1.11 i & - 1.18 + 1.37 i \\ 1.90 - 0.84 i & - 0.23 - 1.11 i & 4.09 + 0.00 i & 2.33 - 0.14 i \\ 0.42 - 2.50 i & - 1.18 - 1.37 i & 2.33 + 0.14 i & 4.29 + 0.00 i \end{array})

and

B = (\begin{array}{r} 3.93 - 6.14 i & 1.48 + 6.58 i \\ 6.17 + 9.42 i & 4.65 - 4.75 i \\ - 7.17 - 21.83 i & - 4.91 + 2.29 i \\ 1.99 - 14.38 i & 7.64 - 10.79 i \end{array}) .

Here

A

is Hermitian positive definite and must first be factorized by f07frf.
