Description
The routine uses the diagonal pivoting factorization to compute the solution to a complex system of linear equations
A*X
 =
B
, where
A
 is an
n
-by-
n
 Hermitian 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
?hesvx
 performs the following steps:
  1. If
    fact
     =
    'N'
    , the diagonal pivoting method is used to factor the matrix
    A
    . The form of the factorization is
    A
     =
    U*D*U
    H
     or
    A =
    L*D*L
    H
    , where
    U
     (or
    L
    ) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower) triangular matrices, and
    D
     is Hermitian and block diagonal with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks.
  2. If some
    d
    i
    ,
    i
    = 0, so that
    D
     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.

. The array
ipiv
 is an input argument if
fact

. It contains details of the interchanges and the block structure of
D
, as determined by

If

i
] =
ipiv
[
i
-1] = -
m
 < 0, then
D
 has a 2-by-2 block in rows/columns
i
 and
i
+1
, and
(
i
)
-th row and column of
A
 was interchanged with the
m
-th row and column.
If
uplo
 =
'L'
and
ipiv
[
i
] =
ipiv
[
i

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

. See the description of

,

 in
Input Arguments
 section.
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
x
j
 (the
j
-th column of the solution matrix
X
). If
xtrue
 is the true solution corresponding to
x
j
,
ferr
[
j
-1]
 is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest element in (
x
j
) -
xtrue
) divided by the magnitude of the largest element in
x
j
.
 The estimate is as reliable as the estimate for
rcon
, 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
x
j
, that is, the smallest relative change in any element of

 or
B
 that makes
x
j
 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
i
≤
n
, then
d
i
i
 is exactly zero. The factorization has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix
D
 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
D
 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.
