# naginterfaces.library.lapacklin.zptsvx¶

naginterfaces.library.lapacklin.zptsvx(fact, n, nrhs, d, e, df, ef, b)[source]

zptsvx uses the factorization

to compute the solution to a complex system of linear equations

where is an Hermitian positive definite tridiagonal matrix and and are matrices. Error bounds on the solution and a condition estimate are also provided.

rcondfloat

The reciprocal condition number of the matrix . If is less than the machine precision (in particular, if ), the matrix is singular to working precision. This condition is indicated by a return code of = + 1.

ferrfloat, ndarray, shape

berrfloat, ndarray, shape

The component-wise relative backward error of each solution vector (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element of or that makes an exact solution).

Raises
NagValueError
(errno )

On entry, error in parameter .

Constraint: or .

(errno )

On entry, error in parameter .

Constraint: .

(errno )

On entry, error in parameter .

Constraint: .

(errno )

The leading minor of order of is not positive definite, so the factorization could not be completed, and the solution has not been computed. is returned.

Warns
NagAlgorithmicWarning
(errno )

is nonsingular, but is less than machine precision, meaning that the matrix is singular to working precision. Nevertheless, the solution and error bounds are computed because there are a number of situations where the computed solution can be more accurate than the value of would suggest.

Notes

zptsvx performs the following steps:

1. If , the matrix is factorized as , where is a unit lower bidiagonal matrix and is diagonal. The factorization can also be regarded as having the form .

2. If the leading principal minor is not positive definite, then the function returns with . Otherwise, the factored form of is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix . If the reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision, = + 1 is returned as a warning, but the function still goes on to solve for and compute error bounds as described below.

3. The system of equations is solved for using the factored form of .

4. Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and to calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.
