?hptrs

Solves a system of linear equations with a UDU- or LDL-factored Hermitian coefficient matrix using packed storage.

Description

The routine solves for X the system of linear equations A*X = B with a Hermitian matrix A, given the Bunch-Kaufman factorization of A:

if uplo='U',

A = U*D*UH

if uplo='L',

A = L*D*LH,

where U and L are upper and lower packed triangular matrices with unit diagonal and D is a symmetric block-diagonal matrix. The system is solved with multiple right-hand sides stored in the columns of the matrix B.

You must supply to this routine the arrays ap (containing U or L)and ipiv in the form returned by the factorization routine ?hptrf.

Input Parameters

matrix_layout

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

uplo

Must be 'U' or 'L'.

Indicates how the input matrix A has been factored:

If uplo = 'U', the array ap stores the packed factor U of the factorization A = U*D*UH. If uplo = 'L', the array ap stores the packed factor L of the factorization A = L*D*LH.

n

The order of matrix A; n 0.

nrhs

The number of right-hand sides; nrhs 0.

ipiv

Array, size at least max(1, n). The ipiv array, as returned by ?hptrf.

ap

The dimension of array ap must be at least max(1,n(n+1)/2). The array ap contains the factor U or L, as specified by uplo, in packed storage (see Matrix Storage Schemes).

b

The array b contains the matrix B whose columns are the right-hand sides for the system of equations. The size of b is max(1, ldb*nrhs) for column major layout and max(1, ldb*n) for row major layout.

ldb

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

Output Parameters

b

Overwritten by the solution matrix X.

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

For each right-hand side b, the computed solution is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations (A + E)x = b, where

|E|  c(n)ε P|U||D||UH|PT or |E|  c(n)ε P|L||D||LH|PT

c(n) is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.

If x0 is the true solution, the computed solution x satisfies this error bound:


Equation

where cond(A,x)= || |A-1||A| |x| || / ||x|| ||A-1|| ||A|| = κ(A).

Note that cond(A,x) can be much smaller than κ(A).

The total number of floating-point operations for one right-hand side vector is approximately 8n2 for complex flavors.

To estimate the condition number κ(A), call ?hpcon.

To refine the solution and estimate the error, call ?hprfs.
