# NAG Library Function Documentnag_dgttrs (f07cec)

## 1  Purpose

nag_dgttrs (f07cec) computes the solution to a real system of linear equations $AX=B$ or ${A}^{\mathrm{T}}X=B$, where $A$ is an $n$ by $n$ tridiagonal matrix and $X$ and $B$ are $n$ by $r$ matrices, using the $LU$ factorization returned by nag_dgttrf (f07cdc).

## 2  Specification

 #include #include
 void nag_dgttrs (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_TransType trans, Integer n, Integer nrhs, const double dl[], const double d[], const double du[], const double du2[], const Integer ipiv[], double b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)

## 3  Description

nag_dgttrs (f07cec) should be preceded by a call to nag_dgttrf (f07cdc), which uses Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges to factorize the matrix $A$ as
 $A=PLU ,$
where $P$ is a permutation matrix, $L$ is unit lower triangular with at most one nonzero subdiagonal element in each column, and $U$ is an upper triangular band matrix, with two superdiagonals. nag_dgttrs (f07cec) then utilizes the factorization to solve the required equations.

## 5  Arguments

1:     orderNag_OrderTypeInput
On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$. See Section 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$ or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     transNag_TransTypeInput
On entry: specifies the equations to be solved as follows:
${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_NoTrans}$
Solve $AX=B$ for $X$.
${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_Trans}$ or $\mathrm{Nag_ConjTrans}$
Solve ${A}^{\mathrm{T}}X=B$ for $X$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_NoTrans}$, $\mathrm{Nag_Trans}$ or $\mathrm{Nag_ConjTrans}$.
3:     nIntegerInput
On entry: $n$, the order of the matrix $A$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{n}}\ge 0$.
4:     nrhsIntegerInput
On entry: $r$, the number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix $B$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{nrhs}}\ge 0$.
5:     dl[$\mathit{dim}$]const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array dl must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}-1\right)$.
On entry: must contain the $\left(n-1\right)$ multipliers that define the matrix $L$ of the $LU$ factorization of $A$.
6:     d[$\mathit{dim}$]const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array d must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$.
On entry: must contain the $n$ diagonal elements of the upper triangular matrix $U$ from the $LU$ factorization of $A$.
7:     du[$\mathit{dim}$]const doubleInput

On entry: must contain the $n$ pivot indices that define the permutation matrix $P$. At the $i$th step, row $i$ of the matrix was interchanged with row ${\mathbf{ipiv}}\left[i-1\right]$, and ${\mathbf{ipiv}}\left[i-1\right]$ must always be either $i$ or $\left(i+1\right)$, ${\mathbf{ipiv}}\left[i-1\right]=i$ indicating that a row interchange was not performed.
10:   b[$\mathit{dim}$]doubleInput/Output

## 7  Accuracy

The computed solution for a single right-hand side, $\stackrel{^}{x}$, satisfies an equation of the form
 $A+E x^=b ,$
where
 $E1 =OεA1$
and $\epsilon$ is the machine precision. An approximate error bound for the computed solution is given by
 $x^-x 1 x 1 ≤ κA E1 A1 ,$
where $\kappa \left(A\right)={‖{A}^{-1}‖}_{1}{‖A‖}_{1}$, the condition number of $A$ with respect to the solution of the linear equations. See Section 4.4 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
Following the use of this function nag_dgtcon (f07cgc) can be used to estimate the condition number of $A$ and nag_dgtrfs (f07chc) can be used to obtain approximate error bounds.

## 8  Further Comments

The total number of floating point operations required to solve the equations $AX=B$ or ${A}^{\mathrm{T}}X=B$ is proportional to $nr$.
The complex analogue of this function is nag_zgttrs (f07csc).
