Description
The routine solves for X the following systems of linear equations:
A*X = B  |  
      if trans='N',  |  
     
AT*X = B  |  
      if trans='T',  |  
     
AH*X = B  |  
      if trans='C' (for complex matrices only).  |  
     
Before calling this routine, you must call ?getrf to compute the LU factorization of A.
Input Parameters
matrix_layout  |  
      Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).  |  
     
trans  |  
      Must be 'N' or 'T' or 'C'. Indicates the form of the equations: If trans = 'N', then A*X = B is solved for X. If trans = 'T', then AT*X = B is solved for X. If trans = 'C', then AH*X = B is solved for X.  |  
     
n  |  
      The order of A; the number of rows in B(n≥ 0).  |  
     
nrhs  |  
      The number of right-hand sides; nrhs≥ 0.  |  
     
a  |  
      Array of size max(1, lda*n). The array a contains LU factorization of matrix A resulting from the call of ?getrf.  |  
     
b  |  
      Array of size max(1,ldb*nrhs) for column major layout, and max(1,ldb*n) for row major layout. The array b contains the matrix B whose columns are the right-hand sides for the systems of equations.  |  
     
lda  |  
      The leading dimension of a; lda≥ max(1, n).  |  
     
ldb  |  
      The leading dimension of b; ldb≥ max(1, n) for column major layout and ldb≥nrhs for row major layout.  |  
     
ipiv  |  
      Array, size at least max(1, n). The ipiv array, as returned by ?getrf.  |  
     
Output Parameters
b  |  
      Overwritten by the solution matrix X.  |  
     
Return Values
This function returns a value info.
If info = 0, the execution is successful.
If info = -i, parameter i had an illegal value.
Application Notes
For each right-hand side b, the computed solution is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations (A + E)x = b, where
|E| ≤ c(n)ε P|L||U|
c(n) is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.
If x0 is the true solution, the computed solution x satisfies this error bound:
 
   where cond(A,x)= || |A-1||A| |x| ||∞ / ||x||∞≤ ||A-1||∞ ||A||∞ = κ∞(A).
Note that cond(A,x) can be much smaller than κ∞(A); the condition number of AT and AH might or might not be equal to κ∞(A).
The approximate number of floating-point operations for one right-hand side vector b is 2n2 for real flavors and 8n2 for complex flavors.
To estimate the condition number κ∞(A), call ?gecon.
To refine the solution and estimate the error, call ?gerfs.
