Factoring block tridiagonal symmetric positive definite matrices

Goal

Perform Cholesky factorization of a symmetric positive definite block tridiagonal matrix.

Solution

To perform Cholesky factorization of a symmetric positive definite block tridiagonal matrix, with N square blocks of size NB by NB:

  1. Perform Cholesky factorization of the first diagonal block.

  2. Repeat N - 1 times moving down along the diagonal:

    1. Compute the off-diagonal block of the triangular factor.

    2. Update the diagonal block with newly computed off-diagonal block.

    3. Perform Cholesky factorization of a diagonal block.

Description

Perform Cholesky factorization of diagonal blocks

DPOTRF

Computes the Cholesky factorization of a symmetric (Hermitian) positive-definite matrix.

Compute off-diagonal blocks of the triangular factor

DTRSM

Solves a triangular matrix equation.

Update the diagonal blocks

DSYRK

Performs a symmetric rank-k update.

Discussion

A symmetric positive definite block tridiagonal matrix, with N diagonal blocks Di and N - 1 sub-diagonal blocks Bi of size NB by NB is factored as:


Multiplying the blocks of the matrices on the right gives:


Equating the elements of the original block tridiagonal matrix to the elements of the multiplied factors yields:


Solving for Ci and LiLiT:


Note that the right-hand sides of the equations for LiLiT is a Cholesky factorization. Therefore a routine chol() for performing Cholesky factorization can be applied to this problem using code such as: 

L1=chol(D1) 
do i=1,N-1
     Ci=Bi∙Li-T //trsm()
     Di + 1:=Di + 1 - Ci∙CiT //syrk()
     Li + 1=chol(Di + 1) 
end do
