1 Purpose

f07anf computes the solution to a complex system of linear equations
AX=B ,  
where A is an n×n matrix and X and B are n×r matrices.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine f07anf ( n, nrhs, a, lda, ipiv, b, ldb, info)
Integer, Intent (In) :: n, nrhs, lda, ldb
Integer, Intent (Out) :: ipiv(n), info
Complex (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Inout) :: a(lda,*), b(ldb,*)
C Header Interface
#include <nag.h>
void  f07anf_ (const Integer *n, const Integer *nrhs, Complex a[], const Integer *lda, Integer ipiv[], Complex b[], const Integer *ldb, Integer *info)
The routine may be called by the names f07anf, nagf_lapacklin_zgesv or its LAPACK name zgesv.

3 Description

f07anf uses the LU decomposition with partial pivoting and row interchanges to factor A as
A=PLU ,  
where P is a permutation matrix, L is unit lower triangular, and U is upper triangular. The factored form of A is then used to solve the system of equations AX=B.

5 Arguments

1: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
2: nrhs Integer Input
On entry: r, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix B.
Constraint: nrhs0.
3: a(lda,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: the n×n coefficient matrix A.
On exit: the factors L and U from the factorization A=PLU; the unit diagonal elements of L are not stored.
4: lda Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f07anf is called.
Constraint: ldamax(1,n).
5: ipiv(n) Integer array Output
On exit: if no constraints are violated, the pivot indices that define the permutation matrix P; at the ith step row i of the matrix was interchanged with row ipiv(i). ipiv(i)=i indicates a row interchange was not required.
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×r right-hand side matrix B.
On exit: if info=0, the n×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 f07anf is called.
Constraint: ldbmax(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.
info>0
Element value of the diagonal is exactly zero. The factorization has been completed, but the factor U is exactly singular, so the solution could not be computed.

7 Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side, x^ , satisfies the 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.
Following the use of f07anf, f07auf can be used to estimate the condition number of A and f07avf can be used to obtain approximate error bounds. Alternatives to f07anf, which return condition and error estimates directly are f04caf and f07apf.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f07anf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f07anf 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 floating-point operations is approximately 83 n3 + 8n2 r , where r is the number of right-hand sides.
The real analogue of this routine is f07aaf.

10 Example

This example solves the equations

Details of the LU factorization of A are also output.
