1 Purpose

f07nrc computes the Bunch–Kaufman factorization of a complex symmetric matrix.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f07nrc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Complex a[], Integer pda, Integer ipiv[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f07nrc, nag_lapacklin_zsytrf or nag_zsytrf.

3 Description

f07nrc factorizes a complex symmetric matrix A, using the Bunch–Kaufman diagonal pivoting method. A is factorized as either A=PUDUTPT if uplo=Nag_Upper or A=PLDLTPT if uplo=Nag_Lower, where P is a permutation matrix, U (or L) is a unit upper (or lower) triangular matrix and D is a symmetric block diagonal matrix with 1×1 and 2×2 diagonal blocks; U (or L) has 2×2 unit diagonal blocks corresponding to the 2×2 blocks of D. Row and column interchanges are performed to ensure numerical stability while preserving symmetry.

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: uplo Nag_UploType Input
On entry: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of A is stored and how A is to be factorized.
uplo=Nag_Upper
The upper triangular part of A is stored and A is factorized as PUDUTPT, where U is upper triangular.
uplo=Nag_Lower
The lower triangular part of A is stored and A is factorized as PLDLTPT, where L is lower triangular.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
3: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
4: a[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least max(1,pda×n).
On entry: the n×n symmetric indefinite matrix A.
If order=Nag_ColMajor, Aij is stored in a[(j-1)×pda+i-1].
If order=Nag_RowMajor, Aij is stored in a[(i-1)×pda+j-1].
If uplo=Nag_Upper, the upper triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, the lower triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
On exit: the upper or lower triangle of A is overwritten by details of the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used to obtain the factor U or L as specified by uplo.
5: pda Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix A in the array a.
Constraint: pdamax(1,n).
6: ipiv[dim] Integer Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ipiv must be at least max(1,n).
On exit: details of the interchanges and the block structure of D. More precisely,
  • if ipiv[i-1]=k>0, dii is a 1×1 pivot block and the ith row and column of A were interchanged with the kth row and column;
  • if uplo=Nag_Upper and ipiv[i-2]=ipiv[i-1]=-l<0, (di-1,i-1d¯i,i-1 d¯i,i-1dii ) is a 2×2 pivot block and the (i-1)th row and column of A were interchanged with the lth row and column;
  • if uplo=Nag_Lower and ipiv[i-1]=ipiv[i]=-m<0, (diidi+1,idi+1,idi+1,i+1) is a 2×2 pivot block and the (i+1)th row and column of A were interchanged with the mth row and column.
7: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
NE_INT
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
On entry, pda=value.
Constraint: pda>0.
NE_INT_2
On entry, pda=value and n=value.
Constraint: pdamax(1,n).
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. The factorization has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it is used to solve a system of equations.

7 Accuracy

If uplo=Nag_Upper, the computed factors U and D are the exact factors of a perturbed matrix A+E, where
|E|c(n)εP|U||D||UT|PT ,  
c(n) is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, a similar statement holds for the computed factors L and D.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f07nrc 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 elements of D overwrite the corresponding elements of A; if D has 2×2 blocks, only the upper or lower triangle is stored, as specified by uplo.
The unit diagonal elements of U or L and the 2×2 unit diagonal blocks are not stored. The remaining elements of U or L are stored in the corresponding columns of the array a, but additional row interchanges must be applied to recover U or L explicitly (this is seldom necessary). If ipiv[i-1]=i, for i=1,2,,n, then U or L is stored explicitly (except for its unit diagonal elements which are equal to 1).
The total number of real floating-point operations is approximately 43n3.
A call to f07nrc may be followed by calls to the functions:
The real analogue of this function is f07mdc.
