Description

The routine uses the LU factorization to compute the solution to a real or complex system of linear equations A*X = B, AT*X = B, or AH*X = B, where A is a tridiagonal matrix of order n, the columns of matrix B are individual right-hand sides, and the columns of X are the corresponding solutions.

Error bounds on the solution and a condition estimate are also provided.

The routine ?gtsvx performs the following steps:

  1. If fact = 'N', the LU decomposition is used to factor the matrix A as A = L*U, where L is a product of permutation and unit lower bidiagonal matrices and U is an upper triangular matrix with nonzeroes in only the main diagonal and first two superdiagonals.

  2. If some Ui,i= 0, so that U is exactly singular, then the routine returns with info = i. Otherwise, the factored form of A is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix A. If the reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision, info = n + 1 is returned as a warning, but the routine still goes on to solve for X and compute error bounds as described below.

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

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

Input Parameters

matrix_layout

Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).

fact

Must be 'F' or 'N'.

Specifies whether or not the factored form of the matrix A has been supplied on entry.

If fact = 'F': on entry, dlf, df, duf, du2, and ipiv contain the factored form of A; arrays dl, d, du, dlf, df, duf, du2, and ipiv will not be modified.

If fact = 'N', the matrix A will be copied to dlf, df, and duf and factored.

trans

Must be 'N', 'T', or 'C'.

Specifies the form of the system of equations:

If trans = 'N', the system has the form A*X = B (No transpose).

If trans = 'T', the system has the form AT*X = B (Transpose).

If trans = 'C', the system has the form AH*X = B (Conjugate transpose).

n

The number of linear equations, the order of the matrix A; n 0.

nrhs

The number of right hand sides, the number of columns of the matrices B and X; nrhs 0.

dl,d,du,dlf,df, duf,du2,b

Arrays:

dl, size (n -1), contains the subdiagonal elements of A.

d, size (n), contains the diagonal elements of A.

du, size (n -1), contains the superdiagonal elements of A.

dlf, size (n -1). If fact = 'F', then dlf is an input argument and on entry contains the (n -1) multipliers that define the matrix L from the LU factorization of A as computed by ?gttrf.

df, size (n). If fact = 'F', then df is an input argument and on entry contains the n diagonal elements of the upper triangular matrix U from the LU factorization of A.

duf, size (n -1). If fact = 'F', then duf is an input argument and on entry contains the (n -1) elements of the first superdiagonal of U.

du2, size (n -2). If fact = 'F', then du2 is an input argument and on entry contains the (n-2) elements of the second superdiagonal of U.

b, size max(ldb*nrhs) for column major layout and max(ldb*n) for row major layout, contains the right-hand side matrix B.

ldb

The leading dimension of b; ldb max(1, n) for column major layout and ldbnrhs for row major layout.

ldx

The leading dimension of x; ldx max(1, n) for column major layout and ldxnrhs for row major layout.

ipiv

Array, size at least max(1, n). If fact = 'F', then ipiv is an input argument and on entry contains the pivot indices, as returned by ?gttrf.

Output Parameters

x

Array, size max(1, ldx*nrhs) for column major layout and max(1, ldx*n) for row major layout.

If info = 0 or info = n+1, the array x contains the solution matrix X.

dlf

If fact = 'N', then dlf is an output argument and on exit contains the (n-1) multipliers that define the matrix L from the LU factorization of A.

df

If fact = 'N', then df is an output argument and on exit contains the n diagonal elements of the upper triangular matrix U from the LU factorization of A.

duf

If fact = 'N', then duf is an output argument and on exit contains the (n-1) elements of the first superdiagonal of U.

du2

If fact = 'N', then du2 is an output argument and on exit contains the (n-2) elements of the second superdiagonal of U.

ipiv

The array ipiv is an output argument if fact = 'N'and, on exit, contains the pivot indices from the factorization A = L*U ; row i of the matrix was interchanged with row ipiv[i-1]. The value of ipiv[i-1] will always be i or i+1; ipiv[i-1]=i indicates a row interchange was not required.

rcond

An estimate of the reciprocal condition number of the matrix A. If rcond is less than the machine precision (in particular, if rcond =0), the matrix is singular to working precision. This condition is indicated by a return code of info>0.

ferr

Array, size at least max(1, nrhs). Contains the estimated forward error bound for each solution vector xj (the j-th column of the solution matrix X). If xtrue is the true solution corresponding to xj, ferr[j-1] is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest element in xj - xtrue divided by the magnitude of the largest element in xj. The estimate is as reliable as the estimate for rcond, and is almost always a slight overestimate of the true error.

berr

Array, size at least max(1, nrhs). Contains the component-wise relative backward error for each solution vector xj, that is, the smallest relative change in any element of A or B that makes xj an exact solution.

Return Values

This function returns a value info.

If info = 0, the execution is successful.

If info = -i, parameter i had an illegal value.

If info = i, and in, then Ui, i is exactly zero. The factorization has not been completed unless i = n, but the factor U is exactly singular, so the solution and error bounds could not be computed; rcond = 0 is returned. If info = i, and i = n + 1, then U is nonsingular, but rcond 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 rcond would suggest.
