LIN_SOL_GEN
Solves a general system of linear equations Ax = b. Using optional arguments, any of several related computations can be performed. These extra tasks include computing the LU factorization of A using partial pivoting, representing the determinant of A, computing the inverse matrix A-1, and solving ATx = b or Ax = b given the LU factorization of A.
Required Arguments
A — Array of size n × n containing the matrix. (Input [/Output])
If the packaged option lin_sol_gen_save_LU is used then the LU factorization of A is saved in A. For solving efficiency, the diagonal reciprocals of the matrix U are saved in the diagonal entries of A.

Default: n = size (A, 1)

Uses array b(1:n, 1:nb) for the input right-hand side matrix.
Default: nb = size(b, 2)
Note that b must be a rank-2 array.
pivots = pivots(:) (Output [/Input])
Integer array of size n that contains the individual row interchanges. To construct the permuted order so that no pivoting is required, define an integer array ip(n). Initialize ip(i) = i, i = 1, n and then execute the loop, after calling lin_sol_gen,
k=pivots(i)
interchange ip(i) and ip(k), i=1,n
The matrix defined by the array assignment that permutes the rows, A(1:n, 1:n) = A(ip(1:n), 1:n), requires no pivoting for maintaining numerical stability. Now, the optional argument “iopt=” and the packaged option number ?_lin_sol_gen_no_pivoting can be safely used for increased efficiency during the LU factorization of A.

FORTRAN 90 Interface
Generic: CALL LIN_SOL_GEN (A, B, X [, …])
Specific: The specific interface names are S_LIN_SOL_GEN, D_LIN_SOL_GEN, C_LIN_SOL_GEN, and Z_LIN_SOL_GEN.
Description
Routine LIN_SOL_GEN solves a system of linear algebraic equations with a nonsingular coefficient matrix A. It first computes the LU factorization of A with partial pivoting such that LU = A. The matrix U is upper triangular, while the following is true:
The factors Pi and Li are defined by the partial pivoting. Each Pi is an interchange of row i with row j ≥ i. Thus, Pi is defined by that value of j. Every
is an elementary elimination matrix. The vector is zero in entries 1, …, i. This vector is stored as column i in the strictly lower-triangular part of the working array containing the decomposition information. The reciprocals of the diagonals of the matrix U are saved in the diagonal of the working array. The solution of the linear system Ax = b is found by solving two simpler systems,
y = L-1b and x = U-1y
More mathematical details are found in Golub and Van Loan (1989, Chapter 3).

Examples
Example 1: Solving a Linear System of Equations
This example solves a linear system of equations. This is the simplest use of lin_sol_gen. The equations are generated using a matrix of random numbers, and a solution is obtained corresponding to a random right-hand side matrix. Also, see operator_ex01, supplied with the product examples, for this example using the operator notation.
use lin_sol_gen_int
use rand_gen_int

end if
end
Output
Example 2 for LIN_SOL_GEN is correct.
Example 3: Solving a System with Iterative Refinement
This example computes a factorization of a random matrix using single-precision arithmetic. The double-precision solution is corrected using iterative refinement. The corrections are added to the developing solution until they are no longer decreasing in size. The initialization of the derived type array iopti(1:2) = s_option(0,0.0e0) leaves the integer part of the second element of iopti(:) at the value zero. This stops the internal processing of options inside lin_sol_gen. It results in the LU factorization being saved after exit. The next time the routine is entered the integer entry of the second element of iopt(:) results in a solve step only. Since the LU factorization is saved in arrays A(:,:) and ipivots(:), at the final step, solve only steps can occur in subsequent entries to lin_sol_gen. Also, see operator_ex03, Chapter 10.

Example 4: Evaluating the Matrix Exponential
This example computes the solution of the ordinary differential equation problem
with initial values y(0) = y0. For this example, the matrix A is real and constant with respect to t. The unique solution is given by the matrix exponential:
This method of solution uses an eigenvalue-eigenvector decomposition of the matrix
to evaluate the solution with the equivalent formula
where
is computed using the complex arithmetic version of lin_sol_gen. The results for y(t) are real quantities, but the evaluation uses intermediate complex-valued calculations. Note that the computation of the complex matrix X and the diagonal matrix D is performed using the IMSL MATH/LIBRARY FORTRAN 77 interface to routine EVCRG. This is an illustration of intermixing interfaces of FORTRAN 77 and Fortran 90 code. The information is made available to the Fortran 90 compiler by using the FORTRAN 77 interface for EVCRG. Also, see operator_ex04, supplied with the product examples, where the Fortran 90 function EIG() has replaced the call to EVCRG.
