1  Purpose

F07FSF (ZPOTRS) solves a complex Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides,
AX=B ,
where A has been factorized by F07FRF (ZPOTRF).

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F07FSF ( UPLO, N, NRHS, A, LDA, B, LDB, INFO)
INTEGER  N, NRHS, LDA, LDB, INFO
COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)  A(LDA,*), B(LDB,*)
CHARACTER(1)  UPLO
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name zpotrs.

3  Description

F07FSF (ZPOTRS) is used to solve a complex Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations AX=B, this routine must be preceded by a call to F07FRF (ZPOTRF) which computes the Cholesky factorization of A. The solution X is computed by forward and backward substitution.
If UPLO='U', A=UHU, where U is upper triangular; the solution X is computed by solving UHY=B and then UX=Y.
If UPLO='L', A=LLH, where L is lower triangular; the solution X is computed by solving LY=B and then LHX=Y.

5  Parameters

1:     UPLO – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: specifies how A has been factorized.
UPLO='U'
A=UHU, where U is upper triangular.
UPLO='L'
A=LLH, where L is lower triangular.
Constraint: UPLO='U' or 'L'.
2:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: N0.
3:     NRHS – INTEGERInput
On entry: r, the number of right-hand sides.
Constraint: NRHS0.
4:     A(LDA,*) – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the second dimension of the array A must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the Cholesky factor of A, as returned by F07FRF (ZPOTRF).
5:     LDA – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array A as declared in the (sub)program from which F07FSF (ZPOTRS) is called.
Constraint: LDAmax1,N.
6:     B(LDB,*) – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array B must be at least max1,NRHS.
On entry: the n by r right-hand side matrix B.
On exit: the n by r solution matrix X.
7:     LDB – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array B as declared in the (sub)program from which F07FSF (ZPOTRS) is called.
Constraint: LDBmax1,N.
8:     INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit: INFO=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
INFO<0
If INFO=-i, the ith parameter had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

7  Accuracy

For each right-hand side vector b, the computed solution x is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations A+Ex=b, where cn is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.
If x^ is the true solution, then the computed solution x satisfies a forward error bound of the form
x-x^ x cncondA,xε
where condA,x=A-1Ax/xcondA=A-1AκA.
Note that condA,x can be much smaller than condA.
Forward and backward error bounds can be computed by calling F07FVF (ZPORFS), and an estimate for κA (=κ1A) can be obtained by calling F07FUF (ZPOCON).

8  Further Comments

The total number of real floating point operations is approximately 8n2r.
This routine may be followed by a call to F07FVF (ZPORFS) to refine the solution and return an error estimate.
The real analogue of this routine is F07FEF (DPOTRS).

9  Example

This example solves the system of equations AX=B, where
A= 3.23+0.00i 1.51-1.92i 1.90+0.84i 0.42+2.50i 1.51+1.92i 3.58+0.00i -0.23+1.11i -1.18+1.37i 1.90-0.84i -0.23-1.11i 4.09+0.00i 2.33-0.14i 0.42-2.50i -1.18-1.37i 2.33+0.14i 4.29+0.00i
and
B= 3.93-06.14i 1.48+06.58i 6.17+09.42i 4.65-04.75i -7.17-21.83i -4.91+02.29i 1.99-14.38i 7.64-10.79i .
Here A is Hermitian positive definite and must first be factorized by F07FRF (ZPOTRF).
