mkl_sparse_?_qr_solve

Solving step of the SPARSE QR solver.

Syntax

stat mkl_sparse_d_qr_solve ( operation, A, alt_values, layout, x, columns, ldx, b, ldb )

stat mkl_sparse_s_qr_solve ( operation, A, alt_values, layout, x, columns, ldx, b, ldb )

Description

The mkl_sparse_?_qr_solve routine computes the solution of sparse systems of linear equations \(op(A)\cdot x = b\) . Prior to calling this routine, the mkl_sparse_?_qr_factorize routine must be called for the matrix handle A with the same operation \(op()\). For more information about the workflow of sparse QR functionality, refer to oneMKL Sparse QR solver. Multifrontal Sparse QR Factorization Method for Solving a Sparse System of Linear Equations .

\[x = R^{-1}\cdot Q^{T} \cdot b\]

where \(op(A) = Q\cdot R\) is the QR decomposition of \(op(A)\), \(Q\) is the sparse orthogonal factor so that \(Q^{-1} = Q^{T}\) and \(R\) is the sparse upper triangular factor.

NOTE:

Currently, mkl_sparse_?_qr_solve supports only CSR format for the input matrix, non-transpose operation \(op(A) = A\), and single right-hand side.

Alternative values are currently not supported and must be set to NULL.

Input Parameters

operation

C_INT

Specifies the operation to perform: solve \(op(A)\cdot x = b\) using QR-decomposition.

NOTE:

Currently, the only supported value is SPARSE_OPERATION_NON_TRANSPOSE (non-transpose case; that is, \(A\cdot x = b\) is solved).

A

SPARSE_MATRIX_T

Handle containing a sparse matrix in an internal data structure.

alt_values

`C_FLOAT`	for `mkl_sparse_s_qr_solve`
`C_DOUBLE`	for `mkl_sparse_d_qr_solve`

Reserved for future use. Please set argument to NULL or an empty dummy array.

layout

C_INT

Describes the storage scheme for the dense matrix:

`SPARSE_LAYOUT_COLUMN_MAJOR`	Storage of elements uses column-major layout.
`SPARSE_LAYOUT_ROW_MAJOR`	Storage of elements uses row-major layout.

x

`C_FLOAT`	for `mkl_sparse_s_qr_solve`
`C_DOUBLE`	for `mkl_sparse_d_qr_solve`

Array with a size of at least rows * cols where:

	`layout` = `SPARSE_LAYOUT_COLUMN_MAJOR`	`layout` = `SPARSE_LAYOUT_ROW_MAJOR`
`rows` (number of rows in `x` )	`ldx`	Number of columns in `A`
`cols` (number of columns in `x` )	`columns`	`ldx`

columns

C_INT

Number of columns in matrix b .

ldx

C_INT

Specifies the leading dimension of matrix x .

b

`C_FLOAT`	for `mkl_sparse_s_qr_solve`
`C_DOUBLE`	for `mkl_sparse_d_qr_solve`

Array with a size of at least rows * cols where:

	`layout` = `SPARSE_LAYOUT_COLUMN_MAJOR`	`layout` = `SPARSE_LAYOUT_ROW_MAJOR`
`rows` (number of rows in `b` )	`ldb`	Number of columns in `A`
`cols` (number of columns in `b` )	`columns`	`ldb`

ldb

C_INT

Specifies the leading dimension of matrix b .

Output Parameters

x

`C_FLOAT`	for `mkl_sparse_s_qr_solve`
`C_DOUBLE`	for `mkl_sparse_d_qr_solve`

Contains the solution of system \(op(A)\cdot x = b\) .

stat

INTEGER

Value indicating whether the operation was successful, and if not, why:

`SPARSE_STATUS_SUCCESS`	The operation was successful.
`SPARSE_STATUS_NOT_INITIALIZED`	The routine encountered an empty handle or matrix array.
`SPARSE_STATUS_ALLOC_FAILED`	Internal memory allocation failed.
`SPARSE_STATUS_INVALID_VALUE`	The input parameters contain an invalid value.
`SPARSE_STATUS_EXECUTION_FAILED`	Execution failed.
`SPARSE_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR`	An error in algorithm implementation occurred.
`SPARSE_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED`	The requested operation is not supported.
