Description
The routine performs an iterative refinement of the solution to a system of linear equations A*X = B with a symmetric (Hermitian) positive definite band matrix A, with multiple right-hand sides. For each computed solution vector x, the routine computes the component-wise backward errorβ. This error is the smallest relative perturbation in elements of A and b such that x is the exact solution of the perturbed system:
|δaij| ≤β|aij|, |δbi| ≤β|bi| such that (A + δA)x = (b + δb).
Finally, the routine estimates the component-wise forward error in the computed solution ||x - xe||∞/||x||∞ (here xe is the exact solution).
Before calling this routine:
Input Parameters
matrix_layout  |  
      Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).  |  
     
uplo  |  
      Must be 'U' or 'L'. Indicates how the input matrix A has been factored: If uplo = 'U', the upper triangle of A is stored. If uplo = 'L', the lower triangle of A is stored.  |  
     
n  |  
      The order of the matrix A; n≥ 0.  |  
     
kd  |  
      The number of superdiagonals or subdiagonals in the matrix A; kd≥ 0.  |  
     
nrhs  |  
      The number of right-hand sides; nrhs≥ 0.  |  
     
ab  |  
      Array ab (size max(ldab*n)) contains the original band matrix A, as supplied to ?pbtrf.  |  
     
afb  |  
      Array afb (size max(ldafb*n)) contains the factored band matrix A, as returned by ?pbtrf.  |  
     
b  |  
      Array b of size max(1, ldb*nrhs) for column major layout and max(1, ldb*n) for row major layout contains the right-hand side matrix B.  |  
     
x  |  
      Array x of size max(1, ldx*nrhs) for column major layout and max(1, ldx*n) for row major layout contains the solution matrix X.  |  
     
ldab  |  
      The leading dimension of ab; ldab≥kd + 1.  |  
     
ldafb  |  
      The leading dimension of afb; ldafb≥kd + 1.  |  
     
ldb  |  
      The leading dimension of b; ldb≥ max(1, n) for column major layout and ldb≥nrhs for row major layout.  |  
     
ldx  |  
      The leading dimension of x; ldx≥ max(1, n) for column major layout and ldx≥nrhs for row major layout.  |  
     
Output Parameters
x  |  
      The refined solution matrix X.  |  
     
ferr, berr  |  
      Arrays, size at least max(1, nrhs). Contain the component-wise forward and backward errors, respectively, for each solution vector.  |  
     
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
The bounds returned in ferr are not rigorous, but in practice they almost always overestimate the actual error.
For each right-hand side, computation of the backward error involves a minimum of 8n*kd floating-point operations (for real flavors) or 32n*kd operations (for complex flavors). In addition, each step of iterative refinement involves 12n*kd operations (for real flavors) or 48n*kd operations (for complex flavors); the number of iterations may range from 1 to 5.
Estimating the forward error involves solving a number of systems of linear equations A*x = b; the number is usually 4 or 5 and never more than 11. Each solution requires approximately 4n*kd floating-point operations for real flavors or 16n*kd for complex flavors.
