PURPOSE

32          ZPORFSX improves the computed solution to a system of linear
33          equations when the coefficient matrix is symmetric positive
34          definite, and provides error bounds and backward error estimates
35          for the solution.  In addition to normwise error bound, the code
36          provides maximum componentwise error bound if possible.  See
37          comments for ERR_BNDS for details of the error bounds.
38          The original system of linear equations may have been equilibrated
39          before calling this routine, as described by arguments EQUED and S
40          below. In this case, the solution and error bounds returned are
41          for the original unequilibrated system.

ARGUMENTS

44       Some  optional  parameters are bundled in the PARAMS array.  These set‐
45       tings determine how refinement is performed, but often the defaults are
46       acceptable.  If the defaults are acceptable, users can pass NPARAMS = 0
47       which prevents the source code from accessing the PARAMS argument.
48
49       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
50               = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
51               = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
52
53       EQUED   (input) CHARACTER*1
54               Specifies the form of equilibration that was done to  A  before
55               calling  this  routine.  This is needed to compute the solution
56               and error bounds correctly.  = 'N':  No equilibration
57               = 'Y':  Both row and column equilibration,  i.e.,  A  has  been
58               replaced  by  diag(S) * A * diag(S).  The right hand side B has
59               been changed accordingly.
60
61       N       (input) INTEGER
62               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
63
64       NRHS    (input) INTEGER
65               The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns  of
66               the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.
67
68       A       (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDA,N)
69               The  symmetric  matrix  A.   If  UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N
70               upper triangular part of A contains the upper  triangular  part
71               of the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of A is
72               not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower trian‐
73               gular  part  of  A  contains  the  lower triangular part of the
74               matrix A, and the strictly upper triangular part of  A  is  not
75               referenced.
76
77       LDA     (input) INTEGER
78               The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
79
80       AF      (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAF,N)
81               The  triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization A
82               = U**T*U or A = L*L**T, as computed by DPOTRF.
83
84       LDAF    (input) INTEGER
85               The leading dimension of the array AF.  LDAF >= max(1,N).
86
87       S       (input or output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
88               The row scale factors for A.  If EQUED = 'Y', A  is  multiplied
89               on  the  left  and right by diag(S).  S is an input argument if
90               FACT = 'F'; otherwise, S is an output argument.  If FACT =  'F'
91               and  EQUED  = 'Y', each element of S must be positive.  If S is
92               output, each element of S is a power of  the  radix.  If  S  is
93               input,  each  element  of  S  should be a power of the radix to
94               ensure a reliable solution and error estimates. Scaling by pow‐
95               ers  of  the  radix  does  not cause rounding errors unless the
96               result underflows or overflows.  Rounding errors during scaling
97               lead  to  refining  with a matrix that is not equivalent to the
98               input matrix, producing error estimates that may not  be  reli‐
99               able.
100
101       B       (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
102               The right hand side matrix B.
103
104       LDB     (input) INTEGER
105               The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).
106
107       X       (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
108               On  entry,  the  solution  matrix X, as computed by DGETRS.  On
109               exit, the improved solution matrix X.
110
111       LDX     (input) INTEGER
112               The leading dimension of the array X.  LDX >= max(1,N).
113
114       RCOND   (output) DOUBLE PRECISION
115               Reciprocal scaled condition number.  This is an estimate of the
116               reciprocal Skeel condition number of the matrix A after equili‐
117               bration (if done).  If this is less than the machine  precision
118               (in particular, if it is zero), the matrix is singular to work‐
119               ing precision.  Note that the error may still be small even  if
120               this  number  is  very small and the matrix appears ill- condi‐
121               tioned.
122
123       BERR    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
124               Componentwise relative backward error.  This is the  component‐
125               wise  relative  backward  error  of  each  solution vector X(j)
126               (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element of  A  or  B
127               that makes X(j) an exact solution).  N_ERR_BNDS (input) INTEGER
128               Number of error bounds to return for each right hand  side  and
129               each  type  (normwise or componentwise).  See ERR_BNDS_NORM and
130               ERR_BNDS_COMP below.
131
132       ERR_BNDS_NORM   (output)  DOUBLE  PRECISION  array,  dimension   (NRHS,
133       N_ERR_BNDS)
134                      For  each  right-hand side, this array contains informa‐
135                      tion about various error bounds  and  condition  numbers
136                      corresponding  to  the normwise relative error, which is
137                      defined as follows: Normwise relative error in  the  ith
138                      solution   vector:   max_j  (abs(XTRUE(j,i)  -  X(j,i)))
139                      ------------------------------  max_j  abs(X(j,i))   The
140                      array  is  indexed  by  the type of error information as
141                      described below. There currently are up to three  pieces
142                      of   information   returned.    The   first   index   in
143                      ERR_BNDS_NORM(i,:) corresponds  to  the  ith  right-hand
144                      side.  The second index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,err) contains
145                      the following three fields: err = 1 "Trust/don't  trust"
146                      boolean.  Trust  the  answer if the reciprocal condition
147                      number  is   less   than   the   threshold   sqrt(n)   *
148                      dlamch('Epsilon').   err  =  2 "Guaranteed" error bound:
149                      The estimated forward error, almost certainly  within  a
150                      factor of 10 of the true error so long as the next entry
151                      is   greater    than    the    threshold    sqrt(n)    *
152                      dlamch('Epsilon').  This  error  bound  should  only  be
153                      trusted if the  previous  boolean  is  true.   err  =  3
154                      Reciprocal condition number: Estimated normwise recipro‐
155                      cal  condition  number.   Compared  with  the  threshold
156                      sqrt(n)  *  dlamch('Epsilon')  to determine if the error
157                      estimate is  "guaranteed".  These  reciprocal  condition
158                      numbers  are  1  /  (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for
159                      some appropriately scaled matrix Z.  Let Z = S*A,  where
160                      S  scales  each row by a power of the radix so all abso‐
161                      lute row sums of Z  are  approximately  1.   See  Lapack
162                      Working Note 165 for further details and extra cautions.
163
164       ERR_BNDS_COMP    (output)  DOUBLE  PRECISION  array,  dimension  (NRHS,
165       N_ERR_BNDS)
166                      For each right-hand side, this array  contains  informa‐
167                      tion  about  various  error bounds and condition numbers
168                      corresponding to the componentwise relative error, which
169                      is  defined  as follows: Componentwise relative error in
170                      the ith solution vector: abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i))  max_j
171                      ----------------------  abs(X(j,i)) The array is indexed
172                      by the right-hand side i  (on  which  the  componentwise
173                      relative  error depends), and the type of error informa‐
174                      tion as described below. There currently are up to three
175                      pieces of information returned for each right-hand side.
176                      If componentwise accuracy is not requested (PARAMS(3)  =
177                      0.0), then ERR_BNDS_COMP is not accessed.  If N_ERR_BNDS
178                      .LT. 3, then at most the  first  (:,N_ERR_BNDS)  entries
179                      are  returned.   The  first  index in ERR_BNDS_COMP(i,:)
180                      corresponds to the  ith  right-hand  side.   The  second
181                      index  in  ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,err)  contains  the following
182                      three fields: err = 1 "Trust/don't trust" boolean. Trust
183                      the  answer  if  the reciprocal condition number is less
184                      than the threshold sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon').  err = 2
185                      "Guaranteed"  error  bound: The estimated forward error,
186                      almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
187                      so  long as the next entry is greater than the threshold
188                      sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon').  This  error  bound  should
189                      only  be trusted if the previous boolean is true.  err =
190                      3  Reciprocal condition number: Estimated  componentwise
191                      reciprocal  condition number.  Compared with the thresh‐
192                      old sqrt(n) *  dlamch('Epsilon')  to  determine  if  the
193                      error  estimate is "guaranteed". These reciprocal condi‐
194                      tion numbers are 1 /  (norm(Z^{-1},inf)  *  norm(Z,inf))
195                      for  some  appropriately  scaled  matrix  Z.   Let  Z  =
196                      S*(A*diag(x)), where x is the solution for  the  current
197                      right-hand  side and S scales each row of A*diag(x) by a
198                      power of the radix so all absolute row  sums  of  Z  are
199                      approximately  1.   See Lapack Working Note 165 for fur‐
200                      ther details and extra cautions.  NPARAMS (input)  INTE‐
201                      GER  Specifies  the  number of parameters set in PARAMS.
202                      If .LE. 0, the PARAMS  array  is  never  referenced  and
203                      default values are used.
204
205       PARAMS  (input / output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension NPARAMS
206               Specifies  algorithm parameters.  If an entry is .LT. 0.0, then
207               that entry will be filled with  default  value  used  for  that
208               parameter.  Only positions up to NPARAMS are accessed; defaults
209               are      used       for       higher-numbered       parameters.
210               PARAMS(LA_LINRX_ITREF_I  =  1)  :  Whether to perform iterative
211               refinement or not.  Default: 1.0D+0

214               rithm, possibly with doubled-single computations if the  compi‐

216               values are reserved for future use) PARAMS(LA_LINRX_ITHRESH_I =

221               ization uses a technique other than Gaussian  elimination,  the
222               guarantees  in err_bnds_norm and err_bnds_comp may no longer be

236               gal value
237               > 0 and <= N:  U(INFO,INFO) is exactly zero.  The factorization
238               has  been  completed,  but the factor U is exactly singular, so
239               the solution and error bounds could not be computed. RCOND =  0
240               is  returned.   =  N+J:  The  solution corresponding to the Jth
241               right-hand side is not guaranteed. The solutions  corresponding
242               to  other  right- hand sides K with K > J may not be guaranteed
243               as well, but only the first such right-hand side  is  reported.
244               If  a  small  componentwise error is not requested (PARAMS(3) =
245               0.0) then the Jth right-hand side is the first with a  normwise
246               error  bound  that  is not guaranteed (the smallest J such that
247               ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0). By default (PARAMS(3) = 1.0) the Jth
248               right-hand  side  is the first with either a normwise or compo‐
249               nentwise error bound that is not  guaranteed  (the  smallest  J
250               such that either ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0 or ERR_BNDS_COMP(J,1)
251               =  0.0).  See  the   definition   of   ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,1)   and
252               ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,1).  To get information about all of the right-
253               hand sides check ERR_BNDS_NORM or ERR_BNDS_COMP.
