Description
The routine uses the
LU
 factorization to compute the solution to a real or complex system of linear equations
A*X
 =
B
, where
A
 is an
n
-by-
n
 matrix, 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
?gesvx
 performs the following steps:
  1. If
    fact
     =
    'E'
    , real scaling factors
    r
     and
    c
     are computed to equilibrate the system:
    trans
     =
    'N'
    :
    diag
    (
    r
    )*
    A
    *
    diag
    (
    c
    )*inv(
    diag
    (
    c
    ))*
    X
     =
    diag
    (
    r
    )*
    B
    trans
     =
    'T'
    :
    (
    diag
    (
    r
    )*
    A
    *
    diag
    (
    c
    ))
    T
    *inv(
    diag
    (
    r
    ))*
    X
     =
    diag
    (
    c
    )*
    B
    trans
     =
    'C'
    :
    (
    diag
    (
    r
    )*
    A
    *
    diag
    (
    c
    ))
    H
    *inv(
    diag
    (
    r
    ))*
    X
     =
    diag
    (
    c
    )*
    B
    Whether or not the system will be equilibrated depends on the scaling of the matrix
    A
    , but if equilibration is used,
    A
     is overwritten by
    diag
    (
    r
    )*
    A
    *
    diag
    (
    c
    )
     and
    B
     by
    diag
    (
    r
    )*
    B
     (if
    trans
    =
    'N'
    )
     or
    diag
    (
    c
    )*
    B
     (if
    trans
     =
    'T'
     or
    'C'
    ).
  2. If
    fact
     =
    'N'
     or
    'E'
    , the
    LU
     decomposition is used to factor the matrix
    A
     (after equilibration if
    fact
     =
    'E'
    ) as
    A
     =
    P*L*U
    , where
    P
     is a permutation matrix,
    L
     is a unit lower triangular matrix, and
    U
     is upper triangular.
  3. If some
    U
    i
    ,
    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.
  4. The system of equations is solved for
    X
     using the factored form of
    A
    .
  5. Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.
  6. If equilibration was used, the matrix
    X
     is premultiplied by
    diag
    (
    c
    )
     (if
    trans
     =
    'N'
    ) or
    diag
    (
    r
    )
     (if
    trans
     =
    'T'
     or
    'C'
    ) so that it solves the original system before equilibration.
