ZPBRFS(3) LAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection ZPBRFS(3) NAME ZPBRFS SYNOPSIS SUBROUTINE ZPBRFS (UPLO, N, KD, NRHS, AB, LDAB, AFB, LDAFB, B, LDB, X, LDX, FERR, BERR, WORK, RWORK, INFO) PURPOSE ZPBRFS improves the computed solution to a system of linear equations when the coefficient matrix is Hermitian positive definite and banded, and provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution. ARGUMENTS UPLO (input) UPLO is CHARACTER*1 = 'U': Upper triangle of A is stored; = 'L': Lower triangle of A is stored. N (input) N is INTEGER The order of the matrix A. N >= 0. KD (input) KD is INTEGER The number of superdiagonals of the matrix A if UPLO = 'U', or the number of subdiagonals if UPLO = 'L'. KD >= 0. NRHS (input) NRHS is INTEGER The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrices B and X. NRHS >= 0. AB (input) AB is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDAB,N) The upper or lower triangle of the Hermitian band matrix A, stored in the first KD+1 rows of the array. The j-th column of A is stored in the j-th column of the array AB as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AB(kd+1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-kd)<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AB(1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+kd). LDAB (input) LDAB is INTEGER The leading dimension of the array AB. LDAB >= KD+1. AFB (input) AFB is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAFB,N) The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization A = U**H*U or A = L*L**H of the band matrix A as computed by ZPBTRF, in the same storage format as A (see AB). LDAFB (input) LDAFB is INTEGER The leading dimension of the array AFB. LDAFB >= KD+1. B (input) B is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDB,NRHS) The right hand side matrix B. LDB (input) LDB is INTEGER The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,N). X (input/output) X is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDX,NRHS) On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by ZPBTRS. On exit, the improved solution matrix X. LDX (input) LDX is INTEGER The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >= max(1,N). FERR (output) FERR is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS) The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X). If XTRUE is the true solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j) is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the largest element in X(j). The estimate is as reliable as the estimate for RCOND, and is almost always a slight overestimate of the true error. BERR (output) BERR is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS) The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element of A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution). WORK (output) WORK is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (2*N) RWORK (output) RWORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N) INFO (output) INFO is INTEGER = 0: successful exit < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value Internal Parameters: ITMAX is the maximum number of steps of iterative refinement.
