Description

sgetf2 dgetf2 cgetf2 zgetf2

The routine computes the LU factorization of a general m -by- n matrix A using partial pivoting with row interchanges. The factorization has the form

A = P*L*U

where p is a permutation matrix, L is lower triangular with unit diagonal elements (lower trapezoidal if m > n ) and U is upper triangular (upper trapezoidal if m < n ).

Input Parameters

The data types are given for the Fortran interface.

m

INTEGER . The number of rows in the matrix A ( m≥ 0 ).

n

INTEGER . The number of columns in A ( n≥ 0 ).

a: REAL for sgetf2 DOUBLE PRECISION for dgetf2 COMPLEX for cgetf2 DOUBLE COMPLEX for zgetf2 . Array, size ( lda ,*). Contains the matrix A to be factored. The second dimension of a must be at least max(1, n) . Array, size at least max(1, lda*n) for column major and max(1, lda*m) for row major layout. Array a contains the m -by- n matrix A .

lda

INTEGER . The leading dimension of a ; at least max(1, m ) .

Output Parameters

a: Overwritten by L and U . The unit diagonal elements of L are not stored.

ipiv

INTEGER .

Array, size at least max(1,min(m,n)) . The pivot indices: for 1 ≤ i ≤ n , row i was interchanged with row ipiv(i).

info

INTEGER .

If info=0 , the execution is successful.
If info = -i , the i -th parameter had an illegal value.
If info = i >0 , u_ii is 0. The factorization has been completed, but U is exactly singular. Division by 0 will occur if you use the factor U for solving a system of linear equations.
If info = -1011 , memory allocation error occurred.

Return Values

No return value, info is an Output Parameter.
