CLARFB_GETT

💖 Purpose: 💖

okay so CLARFB_GETT applies a complex Householder block reflector H from the left to a complex (K+M)-by-N matrix composed of two block matrices: an upper trapezoidal K-by-N matrix A stored in the array A, and a rectangular M-by-(N-K) matrix B, stored in the array B. The block reflector H is stored in a compact WY-representation, where the elementary reflectors are in the arrays A, B and T. See Further Details section.

🎀 Parameters 🎀

IDENT — IDENT is CHARACTER*1. If IDENT = not 'I', or not 'i', then V1 is unit lower-triangular and stored in the left K-by-K block of the input matrix A. If IDENT = 'I' or 'i', then V1 is an identity matrix and not stored. See Further Details section.
M — M is INTEGER. The number of rows of the matrix B. M >= 0.
N — N is INTEGER. The number of columns of the matrices A and B. N >= 0.
K — K is INTEGER. The number or rows of the matrix A — yes, or is literally what the page says 😭. K is also order of the matrix T, i.e. the number of elementary reflectors whose product defines the block reflector. 0 <= K <= N.
T — T is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDT,K). The upper-triangular K-by-K matrix T in the representation of the block reflector.
LDT — LDT is INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array T. LDT >= K.
A — A is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N). On entry: a) In the K-by-N upper-trapezoidal part A: input matrix A. b) In the columns below the diagonal: columns of V1 (ones are not stored on the diagonal). On exit: A is overwritten by rectangular K-by-N product H*A. See Further Details section.
LDA — the original text here literally says LDB is INTEGER 😭 (keeping that detail!), and then: the leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,K).
B — B is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB,N). On entry: a) In the M-by-(N-K) right block: input matrix B. b) In the M-by-N left block: columns of V2. On exit: B is overwritten by rectangular M-by-N product H*B. See Further Details section.
LDB — LDB is INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,M).
WORK — WORK is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDWORK,max(K,N-K)).
LDWORK — LDWORK is INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array WORK. LDWORK>=max(1,K).

✨ (1) Description of the Algebraic Operation ✨

okay so bestie, let's get into the math. Matrix A is a K-by-N matrix made of two column block matrices: A1 (which is K-by-K) and A2 (which is K-by-(N-K)). Like this:

A = ( A1, A2 ).

Matrix B is an M-by-N matrix made of two column block matrices: B1 (which is M-by-K) and B2 (which is M-by-(N-K)). Like this:

B = ( B1, B2 ).

And we're performing this absolutely iconic operation:

   ( A_out ) := H * ( A_in ) = ( I - V * T * V**H ) * ( A_in ) =
   ( B_out )        ( B_in )                          ( B_in )
              = ( I - ( V1 ) * T * ( V1**H, V2**H ) ) * ( A_in )
                      ( V2 )                            ( B_in )

On input, here's the tea:

a) ( A_in ) consists of two block columns: ( B_in )

   ( A_in ) = (( A1_in ) ( A2_in )) = (( A1_in ) ( A2_in ))
   ( B_in )   (( B1_in ) ( B2_in ))   ((     0 ) ( B2_in )),

where the column blocks are:

( A1_in ) is a K-by-K upper-triangular matrix stored in the upper triangular part of the array A(1:K,1:K).
( B1_in ) is an M-by-K rectangular ZERO matrix and not stored.
( A2_in ) is a K-by-(N-K) rectangular matrix stored in the array A(1:K,K+1:N).
( B2_in ) is an M-by-(N-K) rectangular matrix stored in the array B(1:M,K+1:N).

b) V is:

   V = ( V1 )
       ( V2 )

where:

if IDENT == 'I', V1 is a K-by-K identity matrix, not stored;
if IDENT != 'I', V1 is a K-by-K unit lower-triangular matrix, stored in the lower-triangular part of the array A(1:K,1:K) (ones are not stored),

and V2 is an M-by-K rectangular matrix stored in the array B(1:M,1:K) — that's because on input B1_in is a rectangular zero matrix that is not stored, and the space is used to store V2.

c) T is a K-by-K upper-triangular matrix stored in the array T(1:K,1:K).

On output, we get:

a) ( A_out ) consists of two block columns: ( B_out )

   ( A_out ) = (( A1_out ) ( A2_out ))
   ( B_out )   (( B1_out ) ( B2_out )),

where the column blocks are:

( A1_out ) is a K-by-K square matrix, or a K-by-K upper-triangular matrix if V1 is an identity matrix. AiOut is stored in the array A(1:K,1:K).
( B1_out ) is an M-by-K rectangular matrix stored in the array B(1:M,K:N).
( A2_out ) is a K-by-(N-K) rectangular matrix stored in the array A(1:K,K+1:N).
( B2_out ) is an M-by-(N-K) rectangular matrix stored in the array B(1:M,K+1:N).

The operation above can be represented as the same operation on each block column:

   ( A1_out ) := H * ( A1_in ) = ( I - V * T * V**H ) * ( A1_in )
   ( B1_out )        (     0 )                          (     0 )

   ( A2_out ) := H * ( A2_in ) = ( I - V * T * V**H ) * ( A2_in )
   ( B2_out )        ( B2_in )                          ( B2_in )

If IDENT != 'I':

The computation for column block 1:

   A1_out: = A1_in - V1*T*(V1**H)*A1_in

   B1_out: = - V2*T*(V1**H)*A1_in

The computation for column block 2, which exists if N > K:

   A2_out: = A2_in - V1*T*( (V1**H)*A2_in + (V2**H)*B2_in )

   B2_out: = B2_in - V2*T*( (V1**H)*A2_in + (V2**H)*B2_in )

If IDENT == 'I':

The operation for column block 1:

   A1_out: = A1_in - V1*T*A1_in

   B1_out: = - V2*T*A1_in

The computation for column block 2, which exists if N > K:

   A2_out: = A2_in - T*( A2_in + (V2**H)*B2_in )

   B2_out: = B2_in - V2*T*( A2_in + (V2**H)*B2_in )

🧚 (2) Description of the Algorithmic Computation 🧚

In the first step, we compute column block 2, i.e. A2 and B2. Here, we need to use the K-by-(N-K) rectangular workspace matrix W2 that is of the same size as the matrix A2. W2 is stored in the array WORK(1:K,1:(N-K)).

In the second step, we compute column block 1, i.e. A1 and B1. Here, we need to use the K-by-K square workspace matrix W1 that is of the same size as the matrix A1. W1 is stored in the array WORK(1:K,1:K).

NOTE: Hence, in this routine, we need the workspace array WORK only of size WORK(1:K,1:max(K,N-K)) so it can hold both W2 from the first step and W1 from the second step.

Case (A), when V1 is unit lower-triangular, i.e. IDENT != 'I' — more computations than in Case (B).

if( IDENT != 'I' ) then
 if ( N > K ) then
   (First Step - column block 2)
   col2_(1) W2: = A2
   col2_(2) W2: = (V1**H) * W2 = (unit_lower_tr_of_(A1)**H) * W2
   col2_(3) W2: = W2 + (V2**H) * B2 = W2 + (B1**H) * B2
   col2_(4) W2: = T * W2
   col2_(5) B2: = B2 - V2 * W2 = B2 - B1 * W2
   col2_(6) W2: = V1 * W2 = unit_lower_tr_of_(A1) * W2
   col2_(7) A2: = A2 - W2
 else
   (Second Step - column block 1)
   col1_(1) W1: = A1
   col1_(2) W1: = (V1**H) * W1 = (unit_lower_tr_of_(A1)**H) * W1
   col1_(3) W1: = T * W1
   col1_(4) B1: = - V2 * W1 = - B1 * W1
   col1_(5) square W1: = V1 * W1 = unit_lower_tr_of_(A1) * W1
   col1_(6) square A1: = A1 - W1
 end if
end if

Case (B), when V1 is an identity matrix, i.e. IDENT == 'I' — less computations than in Case (A).

if( IDENT == 'I' ) then
 if ( N > K ) then
   (First Step - column block 2)
   col2_(1) W2: = A2
   col2_(3) W2: = W2 + (V2**H) * B2 = W2 + (B1**H) * B2
   col2_(4) W2: = T * W2
   col2_(5) B2: = B2 - V2 * W2 = B2 - B1 * W2
   col2_(7) A2: = A2 - W2
 else
   (Second Step - column block 1)
   col1_(1) W1: = A1
   col1_(3) W1: = T * W1
   col1_(4) B1: = - V2 * W1 = - B1 * W1
   col1_(6) upper-triangular_of_(A1): = A1 - W1
 end if
end if

Combine these cases (A) and (B) together, and this is the resulting algorithm:

if ( N > K ) then

  (First Step - column block 2)

  col2_(1)  W2: = A2
  if( IDENT != 'I' ) then
    col2_(2)  W2: = (V1**H) * W2
                  = (unit_lower_tr_of_(A1)**H) * W2
  end if
  col2_(3)  W2: = W2 + (V2**H) * B2 = W2 + (B1**H) * B2]
  col2_(4)  W2: = T * W2
  col2_(5)  B2: = B2 - V2 * W2 = B2 - B1 * W2
  if( IDENT != 'I' ) then
    col2_(6)    W2: = V1 * W2 = unit_lower_tr_of_(A1) * W2
  end if
  col2_(7) A2: = A2 - W2

else

(Second Step - column block 1)

  col1_(1) W1: = A1
  if( IDENT != 'I' ) then
    col1_(2) W1: = (V1**H) * W1
                = (unit_lower_tr_of_(A1)**H) * W1
  end if
  col1_(3) W1: = T * W1
  col1_(4) B1: = - V2 * W1 = - B1 * W1
  if( IDENT != 'I' ) then
    col1_(5) square W1: = V1 * W1 = unit_lower_tr_of_(A1) * W1
    col1_(6_a) below_diag_of_(A1): =  - below_diag_of_(W1)
  end if
  col1_(6_b) up_tr_of_(A1): = up_tr_of_(A1) - up_tr_of_(W1)

end if
