PURPOSE

35          CGESVXX uses the LU factorization to compute the solution to a
36          complex system of linear equations  A * X = B,  where A is an
37          N-by-N matrix and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.
38          If requested, both normwise and maximum componentwise error bounds
39          are returned. CGESVXX will return a solution with a tiny
40          guaranteed error (O(eps) where eps is the working machine
41          precision) unless the matrix is very ill-conditioned, in which
42          case a warning is returned. Relevant condition numbers also are
43          calculated and returned.
44          CGESVXX accepts user-provided factorizations and equilibration
45          factors; see the definitions of the FACT and EQUED options.
46          Solving with refinement and using a factorization from a previous
47          CGESVXX call will also produce a solution with either O(eps)
48          errors or warnings, but we cannot make that claim for general
49          user-provided factorizations and equilibration factors if they
50          differ from what CGESVXX would itself produce.

DESCRIPTION

53          The following steps are performed:
54          1. If FACT = 'E', real scaling factors are computed to equilibrate
55          the system:
56            TRANS = 'N':  diag(R)*A*diag(C)     *inv(diag(C))*X = diag(R)*B
57            TRANS = 'T': (diag(R)*A*diag(C))**T *inv(diag(R))*X = diag(C)*B
58            TRANS = 'C': (diag(R)*A*diag(C))**H *inv(diag(R))*X = diag(C)*B
59          Whether or not the system will be equilibrated depends on the
60          scaling of the matrix A, but if equilibration is used, A is
61          overwritten by diag(R)*A*diag(C) and B by diag(R)*B (if TRANS='N')
62          or diag(C)*B (if TRANS = 'T' or 'C').
63          2. If FACT = 'N' or 'E', the LU decomposition is used to factor
64          the matrix A (after equilibration if FACT = 'E') as
65            A = P * L * U,
66          where P is a permutation matrix, L is a unit lower triangular
67          matrix, and U is upper triangular.
68          3. If some U(i,i)=0, so that U is exactly singular, then the
69          routine returns with INFO = i. Otherwise, the factored form of A
70          is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix A (see
71          argument RCOND). If the reciprocal of the condition number is less
72          than machine precision, the routine still goes on to solve for X
73          and compute error bounds as described below.
74          4. The system of equations is solved for X using the factored form
75          of A.
76          5. By default (unless PARAMS(LA_LINRX_ITREF_I) is set to zero),
77          the routine will use iterative refinement to try to get a small
78          error and error bounds.  Refinement calculates the residual to at
79          least twice the working precision.
80          6. If equilibration was used, the matrix X is premultiplied by
81          diag(C) (if TRANS = 'N') or diag(R) (if TRANS = 'T' or 'C') so
82          that it solves the original system before equilibration.
83

ARGUMENTS

85       Some optional parameters are bundled in the PARAMS array.   These  set‐
86       tings determine how refinement is performed, but often the defaults are
87       acceptable.  If the defaults are acceptable, users can pass NPARAMS = 0
88       which prevents the source code from accessing the PARAMS argument.
89
90       FACT    (input) CHARACTER*1
91               Specifies  whether  or not the factored form of the matrix A is
92               supplied on entry, and if not, whether the matrix A  should  be
93               equilibrated  before  it is factored.  = 'F':  On entry, AF and
94               IPIV contain the factored form of A.  If EQUED is not 'N',  the
95               matrix  A has been equilibrated with scaling factors given by R
96               and C.  A, AF, and IPIV are not modified.  = 'N':  The matrix A
97               will be copied to AF and factored.
98               =  'E':   The  matrix A will be equilibrated if necessary, then
99               copied to AF and factored.
100
101       TRANS   (input) CHARACTER*1
102               Specifies the form of the system of equations:
103               = 'N':  A * X = B     (No transpose)
104               = 'T':  A**T * X = B  (Transpose)
105               = 'C':  A**H * X = B  (Conjugate Transpose)
106
107       N       (input) INTEGER
108               The number of linear equations, i.e., the order of  the  matrix
109               A.  N >= 0.
110
111       NRHS    (input) INTEGER
112               The  number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of
113               the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.
114
115       A       (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
116               On entry, the N-by-N matrix A.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED is  not
117               'N',  then A must have been equilibrated by the scaling factors
118               in R and/or C.  A is not modified if FACT = 'F' or 'N',  or  if
119               FACT  =  'E'  and  EQUED = 'N' on exit.  On exit, if EQUED .ne.
120               'N', A is scaled as follows: EQUED = 'R':  A := diag(R) * A
121               EQUED = 'C':  A := A * diag(C)
122               EQUED = 'B':  A := diag(R) * A * diag(C).
123
124       LDA     (input) INTEGER
125               The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
126
127       AF      (input or output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDAF,N)
128               If FACT = 'F', then AF is an input argument and on  entry  con‐
129               tains  the  factors L and U from the factorization A = P*L*U as
130               computed by CGETRF.  If EQUED .ne. 'N', then AF is the factored
131               form  of  the equilibrated matrix A.  If FACT = 'N', then AF is
132               an output argument and on exit returns the factors L and U from
133               the  factorization A = P*L*U of the original matrix A.  If FACT
134               = 'E', then AF is an output argument and on  exit  returns  the
135               factors L and U from the factorization A = P*L*U of the equili‐
136               brated matrix A (see the description of A for the form  of  the
137               equilibrated matrix).
138
139       LDAF    (input) INTEGER
140               The leading dimension of the array AF.  LDAF >= max(1,N).
141
142       IPIV    (input or output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
143               If FACT = 'F', then IPIV is an input argument and on entry con‐
144               tains the pivot indices from the factorization  A  =  P*L*U  as
145               computed  by  CGETRF; row i of the matrix was interchanged with
146               row IPIV(i).  If FACT = 'N', then IPIV is  an  output  argument
147               and on exit contains the pivot indices from the factorization A
148               = P*L*U of the original matrix A.  If FACT = 'E', then IPIV  is
149               an  output argument and on exit contains the pivot indices from
150               the factorization A = P*L*U of the equilibrated matrix A.
151
152       EQUED   (input or output) CHARACTER*1
153               Specifies the form of equilibration that was done.  = 'N':   No
154               equilibration (always true if FACT = 'N').
155               =  'R':   Row  equilibration, i.e., A has been premultiplied by
156               diag(R).  = 'C':  Column equilibration, i.e., A has been  post‐
157               multiplied  by diag(C).  = 'B':  Both row and column equilibra‐
158               tion, i.e., A has been replaced  by  diag(R)  *  A  *  diag(C).
159               EQUED  is  an input argument if FACT = 'F'; otherwise, it is an
160               output argument.
161
162       R       (input or output) REAL array, dimension (N)
163               The row scale factors for A.  If EQUED = 'R' or 'B', A is  mul‐
164               tiplied on the left by diag(R); if EQUED = 'N' or 'C', R is not
165               accessed.  R is an input argument if FACT = 'F';  otherwise,  R
166               is  an  output argument.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED = 'R' or 'B',
167               each element of R must be positive.  If R is output, each  ele‐
168               ment of R is a power of the radix.  If R is input, each element
169               of R should be a power of the radix to ensure a reliable  solu‐
170               tion  and  error estimates. Scaling by powers of the radix does
171               not cause rounding errors unless the result underflows or over‐
172               flows.  Rounding  errors during scaling lead to refining with a
173               matrix that is not equivalent to the  input  matrix,  producing
174               error estimates that may not be reliable.
175
176       C       (input or output) REAL array, dimension (N)
177               The  column  scale  factors for A.  If EQUED = 'C' or 'B', A is
178               multiplied on the right by diag(C); if EQUED = 'N' or 'R', C is
179               not accessed.  C is an input argument if FACT = 'F'; otherwise,
180               C is an output argument.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED = 'C' or 'B',
181               each  element of C must be positive.  If C is output, each ele‐
182               ment of C is a power of the radix.  If C is input, each element
183               of  C should be a power of the radix to ensure a reliable solu‐
184               tion and error estimates. Scaling by powers of the  radix  does
185               not cause rounding errors unless the result underflows or over‐
186               flows. Rounding errors during scaling lead to refining  with  a
187               matrix  that  is  not equivalent to the input matrix, producing
188               error estimates that may not be reliable.
189
190       B       (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
191               On entry, the N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B.  On exit,  if
192               EQUED  = 'N', B is not modified; if TRANS = 'N' and EQUED = 'R'
193               or 'B', B is overwritten by diag(R)*B; if TRANS =  'T'  or  'C'
194               and EQUED = 'C' or 'B', B is overwritten by diag(C)*B.
195
196       LDB     (input) INTEGER
197               The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).
198
199       X       (output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
200               If  INFO  =  0, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X to the original
201               system of equations.  Note that A and B are modified on exit if
202               EQUED  .ne. 'N', and the solution to the equilibrated system is
203               inv(diag(C))*X if TRANS = 'N'  and  EQUED  =  'C'  or  'B',  or
204               inv(diag(R))*X if TRANS = 'T' or 'C' and EQUED = 'R' or 'B'.
205
206       LDX     (input) INTEGER
207               The leading dimension of the array X.  LDX >= max(1,N).
208
209       RCOND   (output) REAL
210               Reciprocal scaled condition number.  This is an estimate of the
211               reciprocal Skeel condition number of the matrix A after equili‐
212               bration  (if done).  If this is less than the machine precision
213               (in particular, if it is zero), the matrix is singular to work‐
214               ing  precision.  Note that the error may still be small even if
215               this number is very small and the matrix  appears  ill-  condi‐
216               tioned.
217
218       RPVGRW  (output) REAL
219               Reciprocal pivot growth.  On exit, this contains the reciprocal
220               pivot growth factor norm(A)/norm(U). The "max absolute element"
221               norm  is used.  If this is much less than 1, then the stability
222               of the LU factorization of the (equilibrated) matrix A could be
223               poor.  This also means that the solution X, estimated condition
224               numbers, and error bounds could be unreliable. If factorization
225               fails  with  0<INFO<=N, then this contains the reciprocal pivot
226               growth factor for the leading INFO columns of  A.   In  CGESVX,
227               this quantity is returned in WORK(1).
228
229       BERR    (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
230               Componentwise  relative backward error.  This is the component‐
231               wise relative backward  error  of  each  solution  vector  X(j)
232               (i.e.,  the  smallest  relative change in any element of A or B
233               that makes X(j) an exact solution).  N_ERR_BNDS (input) INTEGER
234               Number  of  error bounds to return for each right hand side and
235               each type (normwise or componentwise).  See  ERR_BNDS_NORM  and
236               ERR_BNDS_COMP below.
237
238       ERR_BNDS_NORM  (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
239                      For  each  right-hand side, this array contains informa‐
240                      tion about various error bounds  and  condition  numbers
241                      corresponding  to  the normwise relative error, which is
242                      defined as follows: Normwise relative error in  the  ith
243                      solution   vector:   max_j  (abs(XTRUE(j,i)  -  X(j,i)))
244                      ------------------------------  max_j  abs(X(j,i))   The
245                      array  is  indexed  by  the type of error information as
246                      described below. There currently are up to three  pieces
247                      of   information   returned.    The   first   index   in
248                      ERR_BNDS_NORM(i,:) corresponds  to  the  ith  right-hand
249                      side.  The second index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,err) contains
250                      the following three fields: err = 1 "Trust/don't  trust"
251                      boolean.  Trust  the  answer if the reciprocal condition
252                      number  is   less   than   the   threshold   sqrt(n)   *
253                      slamch('Epsilon').   err  =  2 "Guaranteed" error bound:
254                      The estimated forward error, almost certainly  within  a
255                      factor of 10 of the true error so long as the next entry
256                      is   greater    than    the    threshold    sqrt(n)    *
257                      slamch('Epsilon').  This  error  bound  should  only  be
258                      trusted if the  previous  boolean  is  true.   err  =  3
259                      Reciprocal condition number: Estimated normwise recipro‐
260                      cal  condition  number.   Compared  with  the  threshold
261                      sqrt(n)  *  slamch('Epsilon')  to determine if the error
262                      estimate is  "guaranteed".  These  reciprocal  condition
263                      numbers  are  1  /  (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for
264                      some appropriately scaled matrix Z.  Let Z = S*A,  where
265                      S  scales  each row by a power of the radix so all abso‐
266                      lute row sums of Z  are  approximately  1.   See  Lapack

269       ERR_BNDS_COMP  (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
270                      For  each  right-hand side, this array contains informa‐
271                      tion about various error bounds  and  condition  numbers
272                      corresponding to the componentwise relative error, which
273                      is defined as follows: Componentwise relative  error  in
274                      the  ith solution vector: abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i)) max_j
275                      ---------------------- abs(X(j,i)) The array is  indexed
276                      by  the  right-hand  side  i (on which the componentwise
277                      relative error depends), and the type of error  informa‐
278                      tion as described below. There currently are up to three
279                      pieces of information returned for each right-hand side.
280                      If  componentwise accuracy is not requested (PARAMS(3) =
281                      0.0), then ERR_BNDS_COMP is not accessed.  If N_ERR_BNDS
282                      .LT.  3,  then  at most the first (:,N_ERR_BNDS) entries
283                      are returned.  The  first  index  in  ERR_BNDS_COMP(i,:)
284                      corresponds  to  the  ith  right-hand  side.  The second
285                      index in  ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,err)  contains  the  following
286                      three fields: err = 1 "Trust/don't trust" boolean. Trust
287                      the answer if the reciprocal condition  number  is  less
288                      than the threshold sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon').  err = 2
289                      "Guaranteed" error bound: The estimated  forward  error,
290                      almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
291                      so long as the next entry is greater than the  threshold
292                      sqrt(n)  *  slamch('Epsilon').  This  error bound should
293                      only be trusted if the previous boolean is true.  err  =
294                      3   Reciprocal condition number: Estimated componentwise
295                      reciprocal condition number.  Compared with the  thresh‐

298                      tion  numbers  are  1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf))
299                      for  some  appropriately  scaled  matrix  Z.   Let  Z  =
300                      S*(A*diag(x)),  where  x is the solution for the current
301                      right-hand side and S scales each row of A*diag(x) by  a
302                      power  of  the  radix  so all absolute row sums of Z are
303                      approximately 1.  See Lapack Working Note 165  for  fur‐
304                      ther  details and extra cautions.  NPARAMS (input) INTE‐
305                      GER Specifies the number of parameters  set  in  PARAMS.
306                      If  .LE.  0,  the  PARAMS  array is never referenced and
307                      default values are used.
308
309       PARAMS  (input / output) REAL array, dimension NPARAMS
310               Specifies algorithm parameters.  If an entry is .LT. 0.0,  then
311               that  entry  will  be  filled  with default value used for that
312               parameter.  Only positions up to NPARAMS are accessed; defaults
313               are       used       for       higher-numbered      parameters.

324               factorizations or factorizations other than LU. If the  factor‐
325               ization  uses  a technique other than Gaussian elimination, the
326               guarantees in err_bnds_norm and err_bnds_comp may no longer  be
327               trustworthy.   PARAMS(LA_LINRX_CWISE_I  = 3) : Flag determining

338               = 0:  Successful exit. The solution to every right-hand side is
339               guaranteed.  < 0:  If INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an ille‐
340               gal value

342               has been completed, but the factor U is  exactly  singular,  so
343               the  solution and error bounds could not be computed. RCOND = 0
344               is returned.  = N+J: The  solution  corresponding  to  the  Jth
345               right-hand  side is not guaranteed. The solutions corresponding
346               to other right- hand sides K with K > J may not  be  guaranteed
347               as  well,  but only the first such right-hand side is reported.
348               If a small componentwise error is not  requested  (PARAMS(3)  =
349               0.0)  then the Jth right-hand side is the first with a normwise
350               error bound that is not guaranteed (the smallest  J  such  that
351               ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0). By default (PARAMS(3) = 1.0) the Jth
352               right-hand side is the first with either a normwise  or  compo‐
353               nentwise  error  bound  that  is not guaranteed (the smallest J
354               such that either ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0 or ERR_BNDS_COMP(J,1)
355               =   0.0).   See   the   definition  of  ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,1)  and
356               ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,1). To get information about all of the  right-
