CTRRFS(l) LAPACK routine (version 1.1) CTRRFS(l)
NAME
CTRRFS - provide error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution
to a system of linear equations with a triangular coefficient matrix
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE CTRRFS( UPLO, TRANS, DIAG, N, NRHS, A, LDA, B, LDB, X, LDX,
FERR, BERR, WORK, RWORK, INFO )
CHARACTER DIAG, TRANS, UPLO
INTEGER INFO, LDA, LDB, LDX, N, NRHS
REAL BERR( * ), FERR( * ), RWORK( * )
COMPLEX A( LDA, * ), B( LDB, * ), WORK( * ), X( LDX, * )
PURPOSE
CTRRFS provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution
to a system of linear equations with a triangular coefficient matrix.
The solution matrix X must be computed by CTRTRS or some other means before
entering this routine. CTRRFS does not do iterative refinement because
doing so cannot improve the backward error.
ARGUMENTS
UPLO (input) CHARACTER*1
= 'U': A is upper triangular;
= 'L': A is lower triangular.
TRANS (input) CHARACTER*1
Specifies the form of the system of equations:
= 'N': A * X = B (No transpose)
= 'T': A**T * X = B (Transpose)
= 'C': A**H * X = B (Conjugate transpose)
DIAG (input) CHARACTER*1
= 'N': A is non-unit triangular;
= 'U': A is unit triangular.
N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
NRHS (input) INTEGER
The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the
matrices B and X. NRHS >= 0.
A (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
The triangular matrix A. If UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N upper
triangular part of the array A contains the upper triangular
matrix, and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not
referenced. If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower triangular
part of the array A contains the lower triangular matrix, and the
strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced. If DIAG =
'U', the diagonal elements of A are also not referenced and are
assumed to be 1.
LDA (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N).
B (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
The right hand side matrix B.
LDB (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,N).
X (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
The solution matrix X.
LDX (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >= max(1,N).
FERR (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
The estimated forward error bounds for each solution vector X(j)
(the j-th column of the solution matrix X). If XTRUE is the true
solution, FERR(j) bounds the magnitude of the largest entry in
(X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the largest entry in
X(j). The quality of the error bound depends on the quality of the
estimate of norm(inv(A)) computed in the code; if the estimate of
norm(inv(A)) is accurate, the error bound is guaranteed.
BERR (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vector
X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any entry of A or B
that makes X(j) an exact solution).
WORK (workspace) COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N)
RWORK (workspace) REAL array, dimension (N)
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
