nag_dgttrs (f07cec)

void	nag_dgttrs (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_TransType trans, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const double dl[], const double d[], const double du[], const double du2[], const Integer ipiv[], double b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

3 Description

nag_dgttrs (f07cec) should be preceded by a call to nag_dgttrf (f07cdc), which uses Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges to factorize the matrix

A

A = P L U,

where

P

is a permutation matrix,

L

is unit lower triangular with at most one nonzero subdiagonal element in each column, and

U

is an upper triangular band matrix, with two superdiagonals. nag_dgttrs (f07cec) then utilizes the factorization to solve the required equations.

5 Arguments

1: order – Nag_OrderTypeInput

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 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: trans – Nag_TransTypeInput

On entry: specifies the equations to be solved as follows:

$trans = Nag_NoTrans$: Solve $A X = B$ for $X$ .
$trans = Nag_Trans$ or $Nag_ConjTrans$: Solve $A^{T} X = B$ for $X$ .

Constraint:

trans = Nag_NoTrans

Nag_Trans

Nag_ConjTrans

3: n – IntegerInput

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

On entry:

r

, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array dl must be at least

\max (1, n - 1)

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ipiv must be at least

\max (1, n)

On entry: must contain the

n

pivot indices that define the permutation matrix

P

. At the

i

th step, row

i

of the matrix was interchanged with row

ipiv [i - 1]

, and

ipiv [i - 1]

must always be either

i

(i + 1)

ipiv [i - 1] = i

indicating that a row interchange was not performed.

r

7 Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side,

\hat{x}

, satisfies an equation of the form

(A + E) \hat{x} = b,

where

{‖E‖}_{1} = O (ε) {‖A‖}_{1}

and

ε

is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by

\frac{{‖\hat{x} - x‖}_{1}}{{‖x‖}_{1}} \leq κ (A) \frac{{‖E‖}_{1}}{{‖A‖}_{1}},

where

κ (A) = {‖A^{- 1}‖}_{1} {‖A‖}_{1}

, 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 this function nag_dgtcon (f07cgc) can be used to estimate the condition number of

A

and nag_dgtrfs (f07chc) can be used to obtain approximate error bounds.

Not applicable.

9 Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations required to solve the equations

A X = B

A^{T} X = B

is proportional to

n r

The complex analogue of this function is nag_zgttrs (f07csc).

10 Example

This example solves the equations

A X = B,

where

A
