1 Purpose

f07fwf computes the inverse of a complex Hermitian positive definite matrix A, where A has been factorized by f07frf.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine f07fwf ( uplo, n, a, lda, info)
Integer, Intent (In) :: n, lda
Integer, Intent (Out) :: info
Complex (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Inout) :: a(lda,*)
Character (1), Intent (In) :: uplo
C Header Interface
#include <nag.h>
void  f07fwf_ (const char *uplo, const Integer *n, Complex a[], const Integer *lda, Integer *info, const Charlen length_uplo)
The routine may be called by the names f07fwf, nagf_lapacklin_zpotri or its LAPACK name zpotri.

3 Description

f07fwf is used to compute the inverse of a complex Hermitian positive definite matrix A, the routine must be preceded by a call to f07frf, which computes the Cholesky factorization of A.
If uplo='U', A=UHU and A-1 is computed by first inverting U and then forming (U-1)U-H.
If uplo='L', A=LLH and A-1 is computed by first inverting L and then forming L-H(L-1).

5 Arguments

1: uplo Character(1) Input
On entry: specifies how A has been factorized.
uplo='U'
A=UHU, where U is upper triangular.
uplo='L'
A=LLH, where L is lower triangular.
Constraint: uplo='U' or 'L'.
2: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
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 upper triangular matrix U if uplo='U' or the lower triangular matrix L if uplo='L', as returned by f07frf.
On exit: U is overwritten by the upper triangle of A-1 if uplo='U'; L is overwritten by the lower triangle of A-1 if uplo='L'.
4: lda Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f07fwf is called.
Constraint: ldamax(1,n).
5: 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
Diagonal element value of the Cholesky factor is zero; the Cholesky factor is singular and the inverse of A cannot be computed.

7 Accuracy

The computed inverse X satisfies
XA-I2c(n)εκ2(A)   and   AX-I2c(n)εκ2(A) ,  
where c(n) is a modest function of n, ε is the machine precision and κ2(A) is the condition number of A defined by
κ2(A)=A2A-12 .  

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f07fwf 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 83n3.
The real analogue of this routine is f07fjf.

10 Example

This example computes the inverse of the matrix A, where
A= ( 3.23+0.00i 1.51-1.92i 1.90+0.84i 0.42+2.50i 1.51+1.92i 3.58+0.00i -0.23+1.11i -1.18+1.37i 1.90-0.84i -0.23-1.11i 4.09+0.00i 2.33-0.14i 0.42-2.50i -1.18-1.37i 2.33+0.14i 4.29+0.00i ) .  
Here A is Hermitian positive definite and must first be factorized by f07frf.
