Purpose

nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) solves a system of linear equations involving the incomplete LU preconditioning matrix generated by nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac).

Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf11.h>
void  nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (Nag_TransType trans, Integer n, const double a[], Integer la, const Integer irow[], const Integer icol[], const Integer ipivp[], const Integer ipivq[], const Integer istr[], const Integer idiag[], Nag_SparseNsym_CheckData check, const double y[], double x[], NagError *fail)

Description

nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) solves a system of linear equations
Mx=y, or MTx=y,  
according to the value of the argument trans, where the matrix M=PLDUQ, corresponds to an incomplete LU decomposition of a sparse matrix stored in coordinate storage (CS) format (see Section 2.1.1 in the f11 Chapter Introduction), as generated by nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac).
In the above decomposition L is a lower triangular sparse matrix with unit diagonal elements, D is a diagonal matrix, U is an upper triangular sparse matrix with unit diagonal elements and, P and Q are permutation matrices. L, D and U are supplied to nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) through the matrix
C=L+D-1+U-2I  
which is an n by n sparse matrix, stored in CS format, as returned by nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac). The permutation matrices P and Q are returned from nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac) via the arrays ipivp and ipivq.
It is envisaged that a common use of nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) will be to carry out the preconditioning step required in the application of nag_sparse_nsym_basic_solver (f11bec) to sparse linear systems. nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) is used for this purpose by the Black Box function nag_sparse_nsym_fac_sol (f11dcc).
nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) may also be used in combination with nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac) to solve a sparse system of linear equations directly (see Section 9.5 in nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac)). This use of nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) is demonstrated in Section 10.

Accuracy

If trans=Nag_NoTrans the computed solution x is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations M+δMx=y, where
δMcnεPLDUQ,  
cn is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision. An equivalent result holds when trans=Nag_Trans.

Parallelism and Performance

nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) is not threaded in any implementation.

Further Comments

9.1
Timing

The time taken for a call to nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) is proportional to the value of nnzc returned from nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac).

9.2
Use of check

It is expected that a common use of nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) will be to carry out the preconditioning step required in the application of nag_sparse_nsym_basic_solver (f11bec) to sparse linear systems. In this situation nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) is likely to be called many times with the same matrix M. In the interests of both reliability and efficiency, you are recommended to set check=Nag_SparseNsym_Check for the first of such calls, and for all subsequent calls set check=Nag_SparseNsym_NoCheck.

Example

This example reads in a sparse nonsymmetric matrix A and a vector y. It then calls nag_sparse_nsym_fac (f11dac), with lfill=-1 and dtol=0.0, to compute the complete LU decomposition
A=PLDUQ.  
Finally it calls nag_sparse_nsym_precon_ilu_solve (f11dbc) to solve the system
PLDUQx=y.
