SPSVX computes the solution to system of linear equations A * X = B for OTHER matrices.

Purpose:

    SPSVX uses the diagonal pivoting factorization A = U*D*U**T or
    A = L*D*L**T to compute the solution to a real system of linear
    equations A * X = B, where A is an N-by-N symmetric matrix stored
    in packed format and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.

    Error bounds on the solution and a condition estimate are also
    provided.

    * \b Description:
      =================

    The following steps are performed:

    1. If FACT = 'N', the diagonal pivoting method is used to factor A as
          A = U * D * U**T,  if UPLO = 'U', or
          A = L * D * L**T,  if UPLO = 'L',
       where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)
       triangular matrices and D is symmetric and block diagonal with
       1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks.

    2. If some D(i,i)=0, so that D is exactly singular, then the routine
       returns with INFO = i. Otherwise, the factored form of A is used
       to estimate the condition number of the matrix A.  If the
       reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision,
       INFO = N+1 is returned as a warning, but the routine still goes on
       to solve for X and compute error bounds as described below.

    3. The system of equations is solved for X using the factored form
       of A.

    4. Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution
       matrix and calculate error bounds and backward error estimates
       for it.
Parameters:
  • FACT[in]

    FACT is CHARACTER*1

    Specifies whether or not the factored form of A has been supplied on entry.

    = ‘F’: On entry, AFP and IPIV contain the factored form of A. AP, AFP and IPIV will not be modified.

    = ‘N’: The matrix A will be copied to AFP and factored.

  • UPLO[in]

    UPLO is CHARACTER*1

    = ‘U’: Upper triangle of A is stored;

    = ‘L’: Lower triangle of A is stored.
  • N[in]

    N is INTEGER

    The number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix A. N >= 0.

  • NRHS[in]

    NRHS is INTEGER

    The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrices B and X. NRHS >= 0.

  • AP[in]

    AP is REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)

    The upper or lower triangle of the symmetric matrix A, packed columnwise in a linear array. The j-th column of A is stored in the array AP as follows:

    if UPLO = ‘U’, AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j;

    if UPLO = ‘L’, AP(i + (j-1)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.

    See below for further details.
  • AFP[inout]

    AFP is REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)

    If FACT = ‘F’, then AFP is an input argument and on entry contains the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used to obtain the factor U or L from the factorization A = U*D*U**T or A = L*D*L**T as computed by SSPTRF, stored as a packed triangular matrix in the same storage format as A.

    If FACT = ‘N’, then AFP is an output argument and on exit contains the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used to obtain the factor U or L from the factorization A = U*D*U**T or A = L*D*L**T as computed by SSPTRF, stored as a packed triangular matrix in the same storage format as A.
  • IPIV[inout]

    IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N)

    If FACT = ‘F’, then IPIV is an input argument and on entry contains details of the interchanges and the block structure of D, as determined by SSPTRF.

    If IPIV(k) > 0, then rows and columns k and IPIV(k) were interchanged and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal block.

    If UPLO = ‘U’ and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k-1) < 0, then rows and columns k-1 and -IPIV(k) were interchanged and D(k-1:k,k-1:k) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block. If UPLO = ‘L’ and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k+1) < 0, then rows and columns k+1 and -IPIV(k) were interchanged and D(k:k+1,k:k+1) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.

    If FACT = ‘N’, then IPIV is an output argument and on exit contains details of the interchanges and the block structure of D, as determined by SSPTRF.
  • B[in]

    B is REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)

    The N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B.

  • LDB[in]

    LDB is INTEGER

    The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= fla_max(1,N).

  • X[out]

    X is REAL array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)

    If INFO = 0 or INFO = N+1, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.

  • LDX[in]

    LDX is INTEGER

    The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >= fla_max(1,N).

  • RCOND[out]

    RCOND is REAL

    The estimate of the reciprocal condition number of the matrix A. If RCOND is less than the machine precision (in particular, if RCOND = 0), the matrix is singular to working precision. This condition is indicated by a return code of INFO > 0.

  • FERR[out]

    FERR is REAL 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[out]

    BERR is REAL 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[out] WORK is REAL array, dimension (3*N)

  • IWORK[out] IWORK is INTEGER array, dimension (N)

  • INFO[out]

    INFO is INTEGER

    = 0: successful exit

    < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value

    > 0: if INFO = i, and i is

    <= N: D(i,i) is exactly zero. The factorization has been completed but the factor D is exactly singular, so the solution and error bounds could not be computed. RCOND = 0 is returned.

    = N+1: D is nonsingular, but RCOND is less than machine precision, meaning that the matrix is singular to working precision. Nevertheless, the solution and error bounds are computed because there are a number of situations where the computed solution can be more accurate than the value of RCOND would suggest.
