Double: The double precision name is DLFIQS.

Description

Routine LFIQS computes the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations having a real symmetric positive-definite band 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.

To compute the solution, the coefficient matrix must first undergo an RT R factorization. This may be done by calling either IMSL routine LFCQS or LFTQS.

Iterative refinement fails only if the matrix is very ill-conditioned.

LFIQS and LFSQS both solve a linear system given its RT R factorization. LFIQS generally takes more time and produces a more accurate answer than LFSQS. Each iteration of the iterative refinement algorithm used by LFIQS calls LFSQS.

Description

4

The input matrix is too ill-conditioned for iterative refinement to be effective.

Example

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.
