1  Purpose

F07HNF (ZPBSV) computes the solution to a complex system of linear equations
AX=B ,
where A is an n by n Hermitian positive definite band matrix of bandwidth 2 kd + 1  and X and B are n by r matrices.

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F07HNF ( UPLO, N, KD, NRHS, AB, LDAB, B, LDB, INFO)
INTEGER  N, KD, NRHS, LDAB, LDB, INFO
COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)  AB(LDAB,*), B(LDB,*)
CHARACTER(1)  UPLO
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name zpbsv.

3  Description

F07HNF (ZPBSV) uses the Cholesky decomposition to factor A as A=UHU if UPLO='U' or A=LLH if UPLO='L', where U is an upper triangular band matrix, and L is a lower triangular band matrix, with the same number of superdiagonals or subdiagonals as A. The factored form of A is then used to solve the system of equations AX=B.

5  Parameters

1:     UPLO – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: if UPLO='U', the upper triangle of A is stored.
If UPLO='L', the lower triangle of A is stored.
Constraint: UPLO='U' or 'L'.
2:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: N0.
3:     KD – INTEGERInput
On entry: kd, the number of superdiagonals of the matrix A if UPLO='U', or the number of subdiagonals if UPLO='L'.
Constraint: KD0.
4:     NRHS – INTEGERInput
On entry: r, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix B.
Constraint: NRHS0.
5:     AB(LDAB,*) – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array AB must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the upper or lower triangle of the Hermitian band matrix A.
The matrix is stored in rows 1 to kd+1, more precisely,
  • if UPLO='U', the elements of the upper triangle of A within the band must be stored with element Aij in ABkd+1+i-jj​ for ​max1,j-kdij;
  • if UPLO='L', the elements of the lower triangle of A within the band must be stored with element Aij in AB1+i-jj​ for ​jiminn,j+kd.
On exit: if INFO=0, the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization A=UHU or A=LLH of the band matrix A, in the same storage format as A.
6:     LDAB – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array AB as declared in the (sub)program from which F07HNF (ZPBSV) is called.
Constraint: LDABKD+1.
7:     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: if INFO=0, the n by r solution matrix X.
8:     LDB – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array B as declared in the (sub)program from which F07HNF (ZPBSV) is called.
Constraint: LDBmax1,N.
9:     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 argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
INFO>0
If INFO=i, the leading minor of order i of A is not positive definite, so the factorization could not be completed, and the solution has not been computed.

7  Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side, x^ , satisfies an equation of the form
A+E x^=b ,
where
E1 = Oε A1
and ε  is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by
x^-x1 x1 κA E1 A1 ,
where κA = A-11 A1 , the condition number of A  with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
F07HPF (ZPBSVX) is a comprehensive LAPACK driver that returns forward and backward error bounds and an estimate of the condition number. Alternatively, F04CFF solves Ax=b  and returns a forward error bound and condition estimate. F04CFF calls F07HNF (ZPBSV) to solve the equations.

8  Further Comments

When nk , the total number of floating point operations is approximately 4nk+12+16nkr , where k  is the number of superdiagonals and r  is the number of right-hand sides.
The real analogue of this routine is F07HAF (DPBSV).
