Description
The routine performs an iterative refinement of the solution to a system of linear equations
A*X
 =
B
 or
A
T
*X
 =
B
 or
A
H
*X
 =
B
 with a band matrix
A
, with multiple right-hand sides. For each computed solution vector
x
, the routine computes the component-wise backward error
β
. This error is the smallest relative perturbation in elements of
A
 and
b
 such that
x
 is the exact solution of the perturbed system:
|
δ
a
i
j
|
≤
β
|
a
i
j
|, |
δ
b
i
|
≤
β
|
b
i
|
 such that
(
A
 +
δ
A
)
x
 = (
b
 +
δ
b
)
.
Finally, the routine estimates the component-wise forward error in the computed solution
||
x
 -
x
e
||
∞
/||
x
||
∞
 (here
x
e
 is the exact solution).
Before calling this routine:
  • call the factorization routine
    ?gbtrf
  • call the solver routine
    ?gbtrs
    .
Input Parameters
matrix_layout
Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (
LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR
) or column major (
LAPACK_COL_MAJOR
).
trans
Must be
'N'
 or
'T'
 or
'C'
.
Indicates the form of the equations:
If
trans
 =
'N'
, the system has the form
A*X
 =
B
.
If
trans
 =
'T'
, the system has the form
A
T
*X
 =
B
.
If
trans
 =
'C'
, the system has the form
A
H
*X
 =
B
.
n

 0.
ab
,
afb
,
b
,
x
Arrays:
ab
(size max(1,
ldab
*
n
))
 contains the original band matrix
A
, as supplied to
?gbtrf
, but stored in rows from
1 to
kl
 +
ku
 + 1 for column major layout, and columns from 1 to
kl
 +
ku
 + 1 for row major layout
.
afb
(size max(1,
ldafb
*
n
))
 contains the factored band matrix
A
, as returned by
?gbtrf
.
b
of size max(1,
ldb
*
nrhs
) for column major layout and max(1,
ldb
*
n
) for row major layout
 contains the right-hand side matrix
B
.
x
of size max(1,
ldx
*
nrhs
) for column major layout and max(1,
ldx
*

,
ldafb
≥

 +
ku

Output Parameters
x
The refined solution matrix
X
.
ferr
,
berr
Arrays, size at least
max(1,
nrhs
)
. Contain the component-wise forward and backward errors, respectively, for each solution vector.
Return Values
This function returns a value
info
.
If
info
 =0, the execution is successful.
If
info
 =
-i
, parameter
i
 had an illegal value.
Application Notes
The bounds returned in
ferr
 are not rigorous, but in practice they almost always overestimate the actual error.
For each right-hand side, computation of the backward error involves a minimum of 4
n
(
kl
 +
ku
) floating-point operations (for real flavors) or 16
n
(
kl
 +
ku
) operations (for complex flavors). In addition, each step of iterative refinement involves 2
n
(4
kl
 + 3
ku
) operations (for real flavors) or 8
n
(4
kl
 + 3
ku
) operations (for complex flavors); the number of iterations may range from 1 to 5. Estimating the forward error involves solving a number of systems of linear equations
A
*
x
 =
b
; the number is usually 4 or 5 and never more than 11. Each solution requires approximately
2
n
2
 floating-point operations for real flavors or
8
n
2
 for complex flavors.
