PURPOSE

35          CGBRFSX improves the computed solution to a system of linear
36          equations and provides error bounds and backward error estimates
37          for the solution.  In addition to normwise error bound, the code
38          provides maximum componentwise error bound if possible.  See
39          comments for ERR_BNDS_N and ERR_BNDS_C for details of the error
40          bounds.
41          The original system of linear equations may have been equilibrated
42          before calling this routine, as described by arguments EQUED, R
43          and C below. In this case, the solution and error bounds returned
44          are for the original unequilibrated system.
45

ARGUMENTS

47       Some optional parameters are bundled in the PARAMS array.   These  set‐
48       tings determine how refinement is performed, but often the defaults are
49       acceptable.  If the defaults are acceptable, users can pass NPARAMS = 0
50       which prevents the source code from accessing the PARAMS argument.
51
52       TRANS   (input) CHARACTER*1
53               Specifies the form of the system of equations:
54               = 'N':  A * X = B     (No transpose)
55               = 'T':  A**T * X = B  (Transpose)
56               = 'C':  A**H * X = B  (Conjugate transpose = Transpose)
57
58       EQUED   (input) CHARACTER*1
59               Specifies  the  form of equilibration that was done to A before
60               calling this routine. This is needed to  compute  the  solution
61               and error bounds correctly.  = 'N':  No equilibration
62               =  'R':   Row  equilibration, i.e., A has been premultiplied by
63               diag(R).  = 'C':  Column equilibration, i.e., A has been  post‐
64               multiplied  by diag(C).  = 'B':  Both row and column equilibra‐
65               tion, i.e., A has been replaced by diag(R) * A * diag(C).   The
66               right hand side B has been changed accordingly.
67
68       N       (input) INTEGER
69               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
70
71       KL      (input) INTEGER
72               The number of subdiagonals within the band of A.  KL >= 0.
73
74       KU      (input) INTEGER
75               The number of superdiagonals within the band of A.  KU >= 0.
76
77       NRHS    (input) INTEGER
78               The  number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of
79               the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.
80
81       AB      (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDAB,N)
82               The original band matrix A, stored in rows 1 to  KL+KU+1.   The
83               j-th  column  of A is stored in the j-th column of the array AB
84               as   follows:   AB(ku+1+i-j,j)   =    A(i,j)    for    max(1,j-
85               ku)<=i<=min(n,j+kl).
86
87       LDAB    (input) INTEGER
88               The leading dimension of the array AB.  LDAB >= KL+KU+1.
89
90       AFB     (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDAFB,N)
91               Details  of  the LU factorization of the band matrix A, as com‐
92               puted by DGBTRF.  U is  stored  as  an  upper  triangular  band
93               matrix  with KL+KU superdiagonals in rows 1 to KL+KU+1, and the
94               multipliers used during the factorization are  stored  in  rows
95               KL+KU+2 to 2*KL+KU+1.
96
97       LDAFB   (input) INTEGER
98               The leading dimension of the array AFB.  LDAFB >= 2*KL*KU+1.
99
100       IPIV    (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
101               The pivot indices from SGETRF; for 1<=i<=N, row i of the matrix
102               was interchanged with row IPIV(i).
103
104       R       (input or output) REAL array, dimension (N)
105               The row scale factors for A.  If EQUED = 'R' or 'B', A is  mul‐
106               tiplied on the left by diag(R); if EQUED = 'N' or 'C', R is not
107               accessed.  R is an input argument if FACT = 'F';  otherwise,  R
108               is  an  output argument.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED = 'R' or 'B',
109               each element of R must be positive.  If R is output, each  ele‐
110               ment of R is a power of the radix.  If R is input, each element
111               of R should be a power of the radix to ensure a reliable  solu‐
112               tion  and  error estimates. Scaling by powers of the radix does
113               not cause rounding errors unless the result underflows or over‐
114               flows.  Rounding  errors during scaling lead to refining with a
115               matrix that is not equivalent to the  input  matrix,  producing
116               error estimates that may not be reliable.
117
118       C       (input or output) REAL array, dimension (N)
119               The  column  scale  factors for A.  If EQUED = 'C' or 'B', A is
120               multiplied on the right by diag(C); if EQUED = 'N' or 'R', C is
121               not accessed.  C is an input argument if FACT = 'F'; otherwise,
122               C is an output argument.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED = 'C' or 'B',
123               each  element of C must be positive.  If C is output, each ele‐
124               ment of C is a power of the radix.  If C is input, each element
125               of  C should be a power of the radix to ensure a reliable solu‐
126               tion and error estimates. Scaling by powers of the  radix  does
127               not cause rounding errors unless the result underflows or over‐
128               flows. Rounding errors during scaling lead to refining  with  a
129               matrix  that  is  not equivalent to the input matrix, producing
130               error estimates that may not be reliable.
131
132       B       (input) REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
133               The right hand side matrix B.
134
135       LDB     (input) INTEGER
136               The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).
137
138       X       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
139               On entry, the solution matrix X, as  computed  by  SGETRS.   On
140               exit, the improved solution matrix X.
141
142       LDX     (input) INTEGER
143               The leading dimension of the array X.  LDX >= max(1,N).
144
145       RCOND   (output) REAL
146               Reciprocal scaled condition number.  This is an estimate of the
147               reciprocal Skeel condition number of the matrix A after equili‐
148               bration  (if done).  If this is less than the machine precision
149               (in particular, if it is zero), the matrix is singular to work‐
150               ing  precision.  Note that the error may still be small even if
151               this number is very small and the matrix  appears  ill-  condi‐
152               tioned.
153
154       BERR    (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
155               Componentwise  relative backward error.  This is the component‐
156               wise relative backward  error  of  each  solution  vector  X(j)
157               (i.e.,  the  smallest  relative change in any element of A or B
158               that makes X(j) an exact solution).  N_ERR_BNDS (input) INTEGER
159               Number  of  error bounds to return for each right hand side and
160               each type (normwise or componentwise).  See  ERR_BNDS_NORM  and
161               ERR_BNDS_COMP below.
162
163       ERR_BNDS_NORM  (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
164                      For  each  right-hand side, this array contains informa‐
165                      tion about various error bounds  and  condition  numbers
166                      corresponding  to  the normwise relative error, which is
167                      defined as follows: Normwise relative error in  the  ith
168                      solution   vector:   max_j  (abs(XTRUE(j,i)  -  X(j,i)))
169                      ------------------------------  max_j  abs(X(j,i))   The
170                      array  is  indexed  by  the type of error information as
171                      described below. There currently are up to three  pieces
172                      of   information   returned.    The   first   index   in
173                      ERR_BNDS_NORM(i,:) corresponds  to  the  ith  right-hand
174                      side.  The second index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,err) contains
175                      the following three fields: err = 1 "Trust/don't  trust"
176                      boolean.  Trust  the  answer if the reciprocal condition
177                      number  is   less   than   the   threshold   sqrt(n)   *
178                      slamch('Epsilon').   err  =  2 "Guaranteed" error bound:
179                      The estimated forward error, almost certainly  within  a
180                      factor of 10 of the true error so long as the next entry
181                      is   greater    than    the    threshold    sqrt(n)    *
182                      slamch('Epsilon').  This  error  bound  should  only  be
183                      trusted if the  previous  boolean  is  true.   err  =  3
184                      Reciprocal condition number: Estimated normwise recipro‐
185                      cal  condition  number.   Compared  with  the  threshold
186                      sqrt(n)  *  slamch('Epsilon')  to determine if the error
187                      estimate is  "guaranteed".  These  reciprocal  condition
188                      numbers  are  1  /  (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for
189                      some appropriately scaled matrix Z.  Let Z = S*A,  where
190                      S  scales  each row by a power of the radix so all abso‐
191                      lute row sums of Z  are  approximately  1.   See  Lapack
192                      Working Note 165 for further details and extra cautions.
193
194       ERR_BNDS_COMP  (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
195                      For  each  right-hand side, this array contains informa‐
196                      tion about various error bounds  and  condition  numbers
197                      corresponding to the componentwise relative error, which
198                      is defined as follows: Componentwise relative  error  in
199                      the  ith solution vector: abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i)) max_j
200                      ---------------------- abs(X(j,i)) The array is  indexed
201                      by  the  right-hand  side  i (on which the componentwise
202                      relative error depends), and the type of error  informa‐
203                      tion as described below. There currently are up to three
204                      pieces of information returned for each right-hand side.
205                      If  componentwise accuracy is not requested (PARAMS(3) =
206                      0.0), then ERR_BNDS_COMP is not accessed.  If N_ERR_BNDS
207                      .LT.  3,  then  at most the first (:,N_ERR_BNDS) entries
208                      are returned.  The  first  index  in  ERR_BNDS_COMP(i,:)
209                      corresponds  to  the  ith  right-hand  side.  The second
210                      index in  ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,err)  contains  the  following
211                      three fields: err = 1 "Trust/don't trust" boolean. Trust
212                      the answer if the reciprocal condition  number  is  less
213                      than the threshold sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon').  err = 2
214                      "Guaranteed" error bound: The estimated  forward  error,
215                      almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
216                      so long as the next entry is greater than the  threshold
217                      sqrt(n)  *  slamch('Epsilon').  This  error bound should
218                      only be trusted if the previous boolean is true.  err  =
219                      3   Reciprocal condition number: Estimated componentwise
220                      reciprocal condition number.  Compared with the  thresh‐
221                      old  sqrt(n)  *  slamch('Epsilon')  to  determine if the
222                      error estimate is "guaranteed". These reciprocal  condi‐
223                      tion  numbers  are  1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf))
224                      for  some  appropriately  scaled  matrix  Z.   Let  Z  =
225                      S*(A*diag(x)),  where  x is the solution for the current
226                      right-hand side and S scales each row of A*diag(x) by  a
227                      power  of  the  radix  so all absolute row sums of Z are
228                      approximately 1.  See Lapack Working Note 165  for  fur‐
229                      ther  details and extra cautions.  NPARAMS (input) INTE‐
230                      GER Specifies the number of parameters  set  in  PARAMS.
231                      If  .LE.  0,  the  PARAMS  array is never referenced and
232                      default values are used.
233
234       PARAMS  (input / output) REAL array, dimension NPARAMS
235               Specifies algorithm parameters.  If an entry is .LT. 0.0,  then
236               that  entry  will  be  filled  with default value used for that
237               parameter.  Only positions up to NPARAMS are accessed; defaults
238               are       used       for       higher-numbered      parameters.

264               guaranteed.  < 0:  If INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an ille‐

266               > 0 and <= N:  U(INFO,INFO) is exactly zero.  The factorization
267               has been completed, but the factor U is  exactly  singular,  so
268               the  solution and error bounds could not be computed. RCOND = 0
269               is returned.  = N+J: The  solution  corresponding  to  the  Jth
270               right-hand  side is not guaranteed. The solutions corresponding
271               to other right- hand sides K with K > J may not  be  guaranteed
272               as  well,  but only the first such right-hand side is reported.
273               If a small componentwise error is not  requested  (PARAMS(3)  =
274               0.0)  then the Jth right-hand side is the first with a normwise
275               error bound that is not guaranteed (the smallest  J  such  that
276               ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0). By default (PARAMS(3) = 1.0) the Jth
277               right-hand side is the first with either a normwise  or  compo‐
278               nentwise  error  bound  that  is not guaranteed (the smallest J
279               such that either ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0 or ERR_BNDS_COMP(J,1)
280               =   0.0).   See   the   definition  of  ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,1)  and
281               ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,1). To get information about all of the  right-
282               hand sides check ERR_BNDS_NORM or ERR_BNDS_COMP.
