BERR, WORK, RWORK, INFO )
CHARACTER DIAG, TRANS, UPLO
INTEGER INFO, LDB, LDX, N, NRHS
DOUBLE PRECISION BERR( * ), FERR( * ), RWORK( * )
COMPLEX*16 AP( * ), B( LDB, * ), WORK( * ), X( LDX, * )
PURPOSE
ZTPRFS provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution
to a system of linear equations with a triangular packed coefficient
matrix.
The solution matrix X must be computed by ZTPTRS or some other means before
entering this routine. ZTPRFS 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.
AP (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
The upper or lower triangular matrix A, packed columnwise in a
linear array. The j-th column of A is stored in the array AP as
follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j; if
UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n. If DIAG =
'U', the diagonal elements of A are not referenced and are assumed
to be 1.
B (input) COMPLEX*16 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*16 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) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (2*N)
RWORK (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
