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 A is upper or lower triangular.
uplo=Nag_Upper
A is upper triangular.
uplo=Nag_Lower
A is lower triangular.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
3: trans Nag_TransType Input
On entry: indicates the form of the equations.
trans=Nag_NoTrans
The equations are of the form AX=B.
trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans
The equations are of the form ATX=B.
Constraint: trans=Nag_NoTrans, Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans.
4: diag Nag_DiagType Input
On entry: indicates whether A is a nonunit or unit triangular matrix.
diag=Nag_NonUnitDiag
A is a nonunit triangular matrix.
diag=Nag_UnitDiag
A is a unit triangular matrix; the diagonal elements are not referenced and are assumed to be 1.
Constraint: diag=Nag_NonUnitDiag or Nag_UnitDiag.
5: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
6: nrhs Integer Input
On entry: r, the number of right-hand sides.
Constraint: nrhs0.
7: a[dim] const double Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least max(1,pda×n).
On entry: the n×n triangular 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.
If diag=Nag_UnitDiag, the diagonal elements of A are assumed to be 1, and are not referenced.
8: 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).
9: b[dim] double 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: the n×r solution matrix X.
10: 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).
11: 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.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.

Element value of the diagonal is exactly zero. A is singular and the solution has not been computed.

7 Accuracy

The solutions of triangular systems of equations are usually computed to high accuracy. See Higham (1989).
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)ε|A| ,  
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 ,   provided   c(n)cond(A,x)ε<1 ,  
where cond(A,x)=|A-1||A||x|/x.
Note that cond(A,x)cond(A)=|A-1||A|κ(A); cond(A,x) can be much smaller than cond(A) and it is also possible for cond(AT) to be much larger (or smaller) than cond(A).
Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling f07thc, and an estimate for κ(A) can be obtained by calling f07tgc with norm=Nag_InfNorm.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f07tec 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.
