🎀 Purpose 🎀

ZLA_GERFSX_EXTENDED is here to improve the computed solution to a system of linear equations by doing extra-precise iterative refinement, and it provides error bounds plus backward error estimates for the solution. It’s the subroutine ZGERFSX calls to perform iterative refinement. 💖

Besides the normwise error bound, the code gives you the maximum componentwise error bound if possible. Peep the comments for ERRS_N and ERRS_C for the deets on those error bounds. Lowkey important: this subroutine is only responsible for setting the second fields of ERRS_N and ERRS_C.

💅 Parameters 💅

PREC_TYPE

PREC_TYPE is INTEGER. It specifies the intermediate precision to be used in refinement. The value is defined by ILAPREC(P) where P is a CHARACTER and P:

= 'S': Single
= 'D': Double
= 'I': Indigenous
= 'X' or 'E': Extra

TRANS_TYPE

TRANS_TYPE is INTEGER. It specifies the transposition operation on A. The value is defined by ILATRANS(T) where T is a CHARACTER and T:

= 'N': No transpose
= 'T': Transpose
= 'C': Conjugate transpose

N

N is INTEGER. The number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix A. N >= 0.

NRHS

NRHS is INTEGER. The number of right-hand-sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix B.

A

A is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDA,N). On entry, the N-by-N matrix A.

LDA

LDA is INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N).

AF

AF is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAF,N). The factors L and U from the factorization A = P*L*U as computed by ZGETRF.

LDAF

LDAF is INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array AF. LDAF >= max(1,N).

IPIV

IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N). The pivot indices from the factorization A = P*L*U as computed by ZGETRF; row i of the matrix was interchanged with row IPIV(i).

COLEQU

COLEQU is LOGICAL. If .TRUE. then column equilibration was done to A before calling this routine. This is needed to compute the solution and error bounds correctly.

C

C is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N). The column scale factors for A. If COLEQU = .FALSE., C is not accessed. If C is input, each element of C should be a power of the radix to ensure a reliable solution and error estimates. Scaling by powers of the radix does not cause rounding errors unless the result underflows or overflows. Rounding errors during scaling lead to refining with a matrix that is not equivalent to the input matrix, producing error estimates that may not be reliable.

bestie, that scaling warning is not a drill — keep it cute and keep it powers of the radix 💀

B

B is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDB,NRHS). The right-hand-side matrix B.

LDB

LDB is INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,N).

Y

Y is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDY,NRHS). On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by ZGETRS. On exit, the improved solution matrix Y.

LDY

LDY is INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array Y. LDY >= max(1,N).

BERR_OUT

BERR_OUT is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS). On exit, BERR_OUT(j) contains the componentwise relative backward error for right-hand-side j from the formula

max(i) ( abs(RES(i)) / ( abs(op(A_s))*abs(Y) + abs(B_s) )(i) )

where abs(Z) is the componentwise absolute value of the matrix or vector Z. This is computed by ZLA_LIN_BERR.

N_NORMS

N_NORMS is INTEGER. It determines which error bounds to return (see ERRS_N and ERRS_C).

If N_NORMS >= 1 return normwise error bounds.
If N_NORMS >= 2 return componentwise error bounds.

ERRS_N

ERRS_N is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS). For each right-hand side, this array contains information about various error bounds and condition numbers corresponding to the normwise relative error, which is defined as follows:

Normwise relative error in the ith solution vector:

        max_j (abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i)))
       ------------------------------
             max_j abs(X(j,i))

The array is indexed by the type of error information as described below. There currently are up to three pieces of information returned.

The first index in ERRS_N(i,:) corresponds to the ith right-hand side.

The second index in ERRS_N(:,err) contains the following three fields:

err = 1 boolean. Trust the answer if the reciprocal condition number is less than the threshold sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon').
err = 2 error bound: The estimated forward error, almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error so long as the next entry is greater than the threshold sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon'). This error bound should only be trusted if the previous boolean is true.
err = 3 Reciprocal condition number: Estimated normwise reciprocal condition number. Compared with the threshold sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon') to determine if the error estimate is . These reciprocal condition numbers are 1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for some appropriately scaled matrix Z. Let Z = S*A, where S scales each row by a power of the radix so all absolute row sums of Z are approximately 1.

This subroutine is only responsible for setting the second field above.

See Lapack Working Note 165 for further details and extra cautions.

ERRS_C

💖 `ERRS_C` — the componentwise error tea 💖

ERRS_C is a DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS).

For each right-hand side, this array holds info about all kinds of error bounds and condition numbers tied to the componentwise relative error, which is defined like this:

Componentwise relative error in the ith solution vector:

                    abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i))
             max_j ----------------------
                         abs(X(j,i))

The array is indexed by the right-hand side i (because the componentwise relative error depends on it) and by the type of error info described below. There are currently up to three pieces of info returned for each right-hand side. If componentwise accuracy is not requested (PARAMS(3) = 0.0), then ERRS_C is not accessed — periodt. If N_ERR_BNDS < 3, then at most the first (:,N_ERR_BNDS) entries are returned.

The first index in ERRS_C(i,:) corresponds to the ith right-hand side.

The second index in ERRS_C(:,err) contains these three fields:

err = 1 — boolean. Trust the answer if the reciprocal condition number is less than the threshold sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon').
err = 2 — error bound: the estimated forward error, almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error so long as the next entry is greater than the threshold sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon'). This error bound should only be trusted if the previous boolean is true.
err = 3 — reciprocal condition number: estimated componentwise reciprocal condition number. It gets compared with the threshold sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon') to determine if the error estimate is . 😭 (yes, the source really leaves that sentence hanging there — no cap). These reciprocal condition numbers are 1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for some appropriately scaled matrix Z. Let Z = S*(A*diag(x)), where x is the solution for the current right-hand side and S scales each row of A*diag(x) by a power of the radix so all absolute row sums of Z are approximately 1.

This subroutine is only responsible for setting the second field above. See Lapack Working Note 165 for further details and extra cautions.

🦋 `RES` 🦋

RES is a COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N).

Workspace to hold the intermediate residual — just a lil holding spot, bestie.

🌸 `AYB` 🌸

AYB is a DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N).

Workspace.

✨ `DY` ✨

DY is a COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N).

Workspace to hold the intermediate solution.

🎀 `Y_TAIL` 🎀

Y_TAIL is a COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N).

Workspace to hold the trailing bits of the intermediate solution.

💅 `RCOND` 💅

RCOND is a DOUBLE PRECISION.

Reciprocal scaled condition number. This is an estimate of the reciprocal Skeel condition number of the matrix A after equilibration (if done). If this is less than the machine precision (in particular, if it is zero), the matrix is singular to working precision. Note that the error may still be small even if this number is very small and the matrix appears ill-conditioned — so don’t panic automatically, okay?

🔥 `ITHRESH` 🔥

ITHRESH is an INTEGER.

The max number of residual computations allowed for refinement. The default is 10. For 'aggressive', set it to 100 to permit convergence using approximate factorizations or factorizations other than LU. If the factorization uses a technique other than Gaussian elimination, the guarantees in ERRS_N and ERRS_C may no longer be trustworthy — so like, proceed with caution, bestie.

🌈 `RTHRESH` 🌈

RTHRESH is a DOUBLE PRECISION.

Determines when to stop refinement if the error estimate stops decreasing. Refinement will stop when the next solution no longer satisfies norm(dx_{i+1}) < RTHRESH * norm(dx_i) where norm(Z) is the infinity norm of Z. RTHRESH satisfies 0 < RTHRESH <= 1. The default value is 0.5. For 'aggressive', set it to 0.9 to permit convergence on extremely ill-conditioned matrices. See LAWN 165 for more details.

💜 `DZ_UB` 💜

DZ_UB is a DOUBLE PRECISION.

Determines when to start considering componentwise convergence. Componentwise convergence is only considered after each component of the solution Y is stable, which we define as the relative change in each component being less than DZ_UB. The default value is 0.25, requiring the first bit to be stable. See LAWN 165 for more details.

🙈 `IGNORE_CWISE` 🙈

IGNORE_CWISE is a LOGICAL.

If .TRUE. then ignore componentwise convergence. Default value is .FALSE..

⭐ `INFO` ⭐

INFO is an INTEGER.

= 0:  Successful exit.
< 0:  if INFO = -i, the ith argument to ZGETRS had an illegal
      value
