FERR, BERR, WORK, IWORK, INFO )
CHARACTER DIAG, TRANS, UPLO
INTEGER INFO, LDA, LDB, LDX, N, NRHS
INTEGER IWORK( * )
DOUBLE PRECISION A( LDA, * ), B( LDB, * ), BERR( * ), FERR( *
), WORK( * ), X( LDX, * )
PURPOSE
DTRRFS 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 DTRTRS or some other means before
entering this routine. DTRRFS 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 = 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) DOUBLE PRECISION 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 refer-
enced. 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) DOUBLE PRECISION 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) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
The solution matrix X.
LDX (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >= max(1,N).
FERR (output) DOUBLE PRECISION 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) DOUBLE PRECISION 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) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (3*N)
IWORK (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
