Description

The routine solves for X the system of linear equations A*X = B with a packed symmetric positive-definite or, for complex data, Hermitian positive-definite matrix A, given the Cholesky factorization of A:

`A = U^TU` for real data, `A = U^HU` for complex data	if `uplo='U'`
`A = LL^T` for real data, `A = LL^H` for complex data	if `uplo='L'`

where L is a lower triangular matrix and U is upper triangular. The system is solved with multiple right-hand sides stored in the columns of the matrix B.

Before calling this routine, you must call ?pptrf to compute the Cholesky factorization of A.

Input Parameters

uplo	CHARACTER1. Must be 'U' or 'L'. Indicates how the input matrix `A` has been factored: If `uplo = 'U'`, `U` is stored, where `A` = `U`^T`U` for real data, `A` = `U`^H`U` for complex data. If `uplo = 'L'`, `L` is stored, where `A` = `L``L`^T for real data, `A` = `L`*`L`^H for complex data
n	INTEGER. The order of matrix `A`; `n`≥ 0.
nrhs	INTEGER. The number of right-hand sides (`nrhs`≥ 0).
ap, b	REAL for spptrs DOUBLE PRECISION for dpptrs COMPLEX for cpptrs DOUBLE COMPLEX for zpptrs. Arrays: `ap()`, `b(ldb,)` The size of `ap` must be at least max(1,`n`(`n`+1)/2). The array `ap` contains the factor `U` or `L`, as specified by `uplo`, in packed storage (see Matrix Storage Schemes). The array `b` contains the matrix `B` whose columns are the right-hand sides for the systems of equations. The second dimension of `b` must be at least `max(1, nrhs)`.
ldb	INTEGER. The leading dimension of `b`; `ldb≥ max(1, n)`.

Output Parameters

Overwritten by the solution matrix X.

info

INTEGER. If info = 0, the execution is successful.

If info = -i, the i-th parameter had an illegal value.

LAPACK 95 Interface Notes

Routines in Fortran 95 interface have fewer arguments in the calling sequence than their FORTRAN 77 counterparts. For general conventions applied to skip redundant or reconstructible arguments, see LAPACK 95 Interface Conventions.

Specific details for the routine pptrs interface are as follows:

ap	Holds the array `A` of size `(n*(n+1)/2)`.
b	Holds the matrix `B` of size (`n`, `nrhs`).
uplo	Must be 'U' or 'L'. The default value is 'U'.

Application Notes

If uplo = 'U', the computed solution for each right-hand side b is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations (A + E)x = b, where

|E| ≤ c(n)ε |U^H||U|

c(n) is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.

A similar estimate holds for uplo = 'L'.

If x₀ is the true solution, the computed solution x satisfies this error bound:

where cond(A,x)= || |A^-1||A| |x| ||_∞ / ||x||_∞≤ ||A^-1||_∞ ||A||_∞ = κ_∞(A).

Note that cond(A,x) can be much smaller than κ_∞(A).

The approximate number of floating-point operations for one right-hand side vector b is 2n² for real flavors and 8n² for complex flavors.

To estimate the condition number κ_∞(A), call ?ppcon.

To refine the solution and estimate the error, call ?pprfs.
