F07AEF (DGETRS)
1 Purpose
F07AEF (DGETRS) solves a real system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,
where
A has been factorized by
F07ADF (DGETRF).

3 Description
F07AEF (DGETRS) is used to solve a real system of linear equations
AX=B or
ATX=B, the routine must be preceded by a call to
F07ADF (DGETRF) which computes the
LU factorization of
A as
A=PLU. The solution is computed by forward and backward substitution.
If TRANS='N', the solution is computed by solving PLY=B and then UX=Y.
If TRANS='T' or 'C', the solution is computed by solving UTY=B and then LTPTX=Y.

5 Parameters
- 1: TRANS – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: indicates the form of the equations.
- TRANS='N'
- AX=B is solved for X.
- TRANS='T' or 'C'
- ATX=B is solved for X.
Constraint:
TRANS='N', 'T' or 'C'.
- 2: N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint:
N≥0.
- 3: NRHS – INTEGERInput
On entry: r, the number of right-hand sides.
Constraint:
NRHS≥0.
- 4: A(LDA,*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
-
Note: the second dimension of the array
A
must be at least
max1,N.
On entry: the
LU factorization of
A, as returned by
F07ADF (DGETRF).
- 5: LDA – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array
A as declared in the (sub)program from which F07AEF (DGETRS) is called.
Constraint:
LDA≥max1,N.
- 6: IPIV(*) – INTEGER arrayInput
-
Note: the dimension of the array
IPIV
must be at least
max1,N.
On entry: the pivot indices, as returned by
F07ADF (DGETRF).
- 7: B(LDB,*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
-
Note: the second dimension of the array
B
must be at least
max1,NRHS.
On entry: the n by r right-hand side matrix B.
On exit: the n by r solution matrix X.
- 8: LDB – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array
B as declared in the (sub)program from which F07AEF (DGETRS) is called.
Constraint:
LDB≥max1,N.
- 9: INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit:
INFO=0 unless the routine detects an error (see
Section 6).
6 Error Indicators and Warnings
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
- INFO<0
If INFO=-i, the ith parameter had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
7 Accuracy
For each right-hand side vector
b, the computed solution
x is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations
A+Ex=b, where
cn is a modest linear function of
n, and
ε is the
machine precision.
If
x^ is the true solution, then the computed solution
x satisfies a forward error bound of the form
where
condA,x
=
A-1
A
x
∞
/
x∞
≤
condA
=
A-1
A
∞
≤
κ∞
A
.
Note that condA,x can be much smaller than condA, and condAT can be much larger (or smaller) than condA.
Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling
F07AHF (DGERFS), and an estimate for
κ∞A can be obtained by calling
F07AGF (DGECON) with
NORM='I'.
8 Further Comments
The total number of floating point operations is approximately 2n2r.
This routine may be followed by a call to
F07AHF (DGERFS) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The complex analogue of this routine is
F07ASF (ZGETRS).
9 Example
This example solves the system of equations
AX=B, where
Here
A is nonsymmetric and must first be factorized by
F07ADF (DGETRF).
