PURPOSE

22       DLATRS  solves  one  of  the  triangular  systems triangular matrix, A'
23       denotes the transpose of A, x and b are n-element vectors, and s  is  a
24       scaling  factor,  usually  less  than or equal to 1, chosen so that the
25       components of x will be less  than  the  overflow  threshold.   If  the
26       unscaled  problem  will  not  cause  overflow, the Level 2 BLAS routine
27       DTRSV is called.  If the matrix A is singular (A(j,j) = 0 for some  j),
28       then s is set to 0 and a non-trivial solution to A*x = 0 is returned.

ARGUMENTS

32       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
33               Specifies whether the matrix A is upper or lower triangular.  =
34               'U':  Upper triangular
35               = 'L':  Lower triangular
36
37       TRANS   (input) CHARACTER*1
38               Specifies the operation applied to A.  = 'N':  Solve A  *  x  =
39               s*b  (No transpose)
40               = 'T':  Solve A'* x = s*b  (Transpose)
41               = 'C':  Solve A'* x = s*b  (Conjugate transpose = Transpose)
42
43       DIAG    (input) CHARACTER*1
44               Specifies  whether  or  not the matrix A is unit triangular.  =
45               'N':  Non-unit triangular
46               = 'U':  Unit triangular
47
48       NORMIN  (input) CHARACTER*1
49               Specifies whether CNORM has been set or  not.   =  'Y':   CNORM
50               contains the column norms on entry
51               =  'N':  CNORM is not set on entry.  On exit, the norms will be
52               computed and stored in CNORM.
53
54       N       (input) INTEGER
55               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
56
57       A       (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
58               The triangular matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the  leading  n  by  n
59               upper  triangular part of the array A contains the upper trian‐
60               gular matrix, and the strictly lower triangular part  of  A  is
61               not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading n by n lower trian‐
62               gular part of the array A contains the lower triangular matrix,
63               and  the strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced.
64               If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are also  not  refer‐
65               enced and are assumed to be 1.
66
67       LDA     (input) INTEGER
68               The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max (1,N).
69
70       X       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
71               On  entry,  the right hand side b of the triangular system.  On
72               exit, X is overwritten by the solution vector x.
73
74       SCALE   (output) DOUBLE PRECISION
75               The scaling factor s for the triangular system A * x = s*b   or
76               A'*  x  = s*b.  If SCALE = 0, the matrix A is singular or badly
77               scaled, and the vector x is an exact or approximate solution to
78               A*x = 0.
79
80       CNORM   (input or output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
81
82               If  NORMIN  = 'Y', CNORM is an input argument and CNORM(j) con‐
83               tains the norm of the off-diagonal part of the j-th  column  of
84               A.   If  TRANS = 'N', CNORM(j) must be greater than or equal to
85               the infinity-norm, and if TRANS = 'T' or 'C', CNORM(j) must  be
86               greater than or equal to the 1-norm.
87
88               If  NORMIN  =  'N',  CNORM  is  an output argument and CNORM(j)
89               returns the 1-norm of the offdiagonal part of the  j-th  column
90               of A.
91
92       INFO    (output) INTEGER
93               = 0:  successful exit
94               < 0:  if INFO = -k, the k-th argument had an illegal value

FURTHER DETAILS

97       A rough bound on x is computed; if that is less than overflow, DTRSV is
98       called, otherwise, specific code is  used  which  checks  for  possible
99       overflow or divide-by-zero at every operation.
100
101       A  columnwise  scheme is used for solving A*x = b.  The basic algorithm
102       if A is lower triangular is
103
104            x[1:n] := b[1:n]
105            for j = 1, ..., n
106                 x(j) := x(j) / A(j,j)
107                 x[j+1:n] := x[j+1:n] - x(j) * A[j+1:n,j]
108            end
109
110       Define bounds on the components of x after j iterations of the loop:
111          M(j) = bound on x[1:j]
112          G(j) = bound on x[j+1:n]
113       Initially, let M(0) = 0 and G(0) = max{x(i), i=1,...,n}.
114
115       Then for iteration j+1 we have
116          M(j+1) <= G(j) / | A(j+1,j+1) |
117          G(j+1) <= G(j) + M(j+1) * | A[j+2:n,j+1] |
118                 <= G(j) ( 1 + CNORM(j+1) / | A(j+1,j+1) | )
119
120       where CNORM(j+1) is greater than or equal to the infinity-norm of  col‐
121       umn j+1 of A, not counting the diagonal.  Hence
122
123          G(j) <= G(0) product ( 1 + CNORM(i) / | A(i,i) | )
124                       1<=i<=j
125       and
126
127          |x(j)| <= ( G(0) / |A(j,j)| ) product ( 1 + CNORM(i) / |A(i,i)| )
128                                        1<=i< j
129
130       Since  |x(j)|  <=  M(j),  we  use the Level 2 BLAS routine DTRSV if the
131       reciprocal of the largest M(j), j=1,..,n, is larger than
132       max(underflow, 1/overflow).
133
134       The bound on x(j) is also used to determine when a step in the  column‐
135       wise method can be performed without fear of overflow.  If the computed
136       bound is greater than a large constant, x is scaled  to  prevent  over‐
137       flow,  but  if the bound overflows, x is set to 0, x(j) to 1, and scale
138       to 0, and a non-trivial solution to A*x = 0 is found.
139
140       Similarly, a row-wise scheme is used to solve  A'*x  =  b.   The  basic
141       algorithm for A upper triangular is
142
143            for j = 1, ..., n
144                 x(j) := ( b(j) - A[1:j-1,j]' * x[1:j-1] ) / A(j,j)
145            end
146
147       We simultaneously compute two bounds
148            G(j) = bound on ( b(i) - A[1:i-1,i]' * x[1:i-1] ), 1<=i<=j
149            M(j) = bound on x(i), 1<=i<=j
150
151       The initial values are G(0) = 0, M(0) = max{b(i), i=1,..,n}, and we add
152       the constraint G(j) >= G(j-1) and M(j) >= M(j-1) for j >= 1.  Then  the
153       bound on x(j) is
154
155            M(j) <= M(j-1) * ( 1 + CNORM(j) ) / | A(j,j) |
156
157                 <= M(0) * product ( ( 1 + CNORM(i) ) / |A(i,i)| )
158                           1<=i<=j
159
160       and we can safely call DTRSV if 1/M(n) and 1/G(n) are both greater than
161       max(underflow, 1/overflow).
