Description
Routine LFIRG computes the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations having a real general coefficient matrix. Iterative refinement is performed on the solution vector to improve the accuracy. Usually almost all of the digits in the solution are accurate, even if the matrix is somewhat ill-conditioned. The underlying code is based on either LINPACK , LAPACK, or ScaLAPACK code depending upon which supporting libraries are used during linking. For a detailed explanation see “Using ScaLAPACK, LAPACK, LINPACK, and EISPACK” in the Introduction section of this manual.
To compute the solution, the coefficient matrix must first undergo an LU factorization. This may be done by calling either LFCRG or LFTRG.
Iterative refinement fails only if the matrix is very ill-conditioned.
Routines LFIRG and LFSRG both solve a linear system given its LU factorization. LFIRG generally takes more time and produces a more accurate answer than LFSRG. Each iteration of the iterative refinement algorithm used by LFIRG calls LFSRG.

ScaLAPACK Usage Notes
The arguments which differ from the standard version of this routine are:
A0 — MXLDA by MXCOL local matrix containing the local portions of the distributed matrix A. A contains the coefficient matrix of the linear system. (Input)
FACT0 — MXLDA by MXCOL local matrix containing the local portions of the distributed matrix FACT as output from routine LFCRG or LFTRG. FACT contains the LU factorization of the matrix A. (Input)
IPVT0 — Local vector of length MXLDA containing the local portions of the distributed vector IPVT. IPVT contains the pivoting information for the LU factorization as output from subroutine LFCRG or LFTRG. (Input)
B0 — Local vector of length MXLDA containing the local portions of the distributed vector B. B contains the right-hand side of the linear system. (Input)
X0 — Local vector of length MXLDA containing the local portions of the distributed vector X. X contains the solution to the linear system. (Output)
If B is not needed, B and X can share the same storage locations.
If B is not needed, B and X can share the same storage locations.
RES0 — Local vector of length MXLDA containing the local portions of the distributed vector RES. RES contains the final correction at the improved solution to the linear system. (Output)
All other arguments are global and are the same as described for the standard version of the routine. In the argument descriptions above, MXLDA and MXCOL can be obtained through a call to SCALAPACK_GETDIM (see Utilities) after a call to SCALAPACK_SETUP (see Utilities) has been made. See the ScaLAPACK Example below.
Examples

A set of linear systems is solved successively. The right-hand-side vector is perturbed after solving the system each of the first two times by adding 0.5 to the second element.

ScaLAPACK Example
The same set of linear systems is solved successively as a distributed example. The right-hand side vector is perturbed after solving the system each of the first two times by adding 0.5 to the second element. SCALAPACK_MAP and SCALAPACK_UNMAP are IMSL utility routines (see Chapter 11, “Utilities”) used to map and unmap arrays to and from the processor grid. They are used here for brevity. DESCINIT is a ScaLAPACK tools routine which initializes the descriptors for the local arrays.
