Description

Routine LSAQH solves a system of linear algebraic equations having a complex Hermitian positive definite band coefficient matrix. It first uses the IMSL routine LFCQH to compute an RH R Cholesky factorization of the coefficient matrix and to estimate the condition number of the matrix. R is an upper triangular band matrix. The solution of the linear system is then found using the iterative refinement IMSL routine LFIQH.

LSAQH fails if any submatrix of R is not positive definite, if R has a zero diagonal element, or if the iterative refinement agorithm fails to converge. These errors occur only if the matrix A either is very close to a singular matrix or is a matrix that is not positive definite.

If the estimated condition number is greater than 1/ɛ (where ɛ is machine precision), a warning error is issued. This indicates that very small changes in A can cause very large changes in the solution x. Iterative refinement can sometimes find the solution to such a system. LSAQH solves the problem that is represented in the computer; however, this problem may differ from the problem whose solution is desired.

Comments

1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of L2AQH/DL2AQH The reference is:

CALL L2AQH (N, A, LDA, NCODA, B, X, FACT, WK)

The additional arguments are as follows:

FACT — Complex work vector of length (NCODA + 1) * N containing the RH R factorization of A in band Hermitian storage form on output.

WK — Complex work vector of length N.

3. Integer Options with Chapter 11 Options Manager

16 This option uses four values to solve memory bank conflict (access inefficiency) problems. In routine L2AQH the leading dimension of FACT is increased by IVAL(3) when N is a multiple of IVAL(4). The values IVAL(3) and IVAL(4) are temporarily replaced by IVAL(1) and IVAL(2), respectively, in LSAQH. Additional memory allocation for FACT and option value restoration are done automatically in LSAQH. Users directly calling L2AQH can allocate additional space for FACT and set IVAL(3) and IVAL(4) so that memory bank conflicts no longer cause inefficiencies. There is no requirement that users change existing applications that use LSAQH or L2AQH. Default values for the option are IVAL(*) = 1, 16, 0, 1.

17 This option has two values that determine if the L1 condition number is to be computed. Routine LSAQH temporarily replaces IVAL(2) by IVAL(1). The routine L2CQH computes the condition number if IVAL(2) = 2. Otherwise L2CQH skips this computation. LSAQH restores the option. Default values for the option are IVAL(*) = 1, 2.

Example

A system of five linear equations is solved. The coefficient matrix has complex Hermitian positive definite band form with one codiagonal and the right-hand-side vector b has five elements.
