dtbrfs provides error bounds and backward error estimates
for the solution to a system of linear equations with a tri-
angular band coefficient matrix.
The solution matrix X must be computed by DTBTRS or some
other means before entering this routine. DTBRFS does not
do iterative refinement because doing so cannot improve the
backward error.
UPLO (input)
= 'U': A is upper triangular;
= 'L': A is lower triangular.
TRANSA (input)
Specifies the form of the system of equations:
= 'N': A * X = B (No transpose)
= 'T': A**T * X = B (Transpose)
= 'C': A**H * X = B (Conjugate transpose = Tran-
spose)
TRANSA is defaulted to 'N' for F95 INTERFACE.
DIAG (input)
= 'N': A is non-unit triangular;
= 'U': A is unit triangular.
N (input) The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
KD (input)
The number of superdiagonals or subdiagonals of
the triangular band matrix A. KD >= 0.
NRHS (input)
The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number
of columns of the matrices B and X. NRHS >= 0.
A (input) The upper or lower triangular band matrix A,
stored in the first kd+1 rows of the array. The
j-th column of A is stored in the j-th column of
the array A as follows: if UPLO = 'U', A(kd+1+i-
j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-kd)<=i<=j; if UPLO =
'L', A(1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+kd).
If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are not
referenced and are assumed to be 1.
LDA (input)
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >=
KD+1.
B (input) The right hand side matrix B.
LDB (input)
The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >=
max(1,N).
X (input) The solution matrix X.
LDX (input)
The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >=
max(1,N).
FERR (output)
The estimated forward error bound for each solu-
tion vector X(j) (the j-th column of the solution
matrix X). If XTRUE is the true solution
corresponding to X(j), FERR(j) is an estimated
upper bound for the magnitude of the largest ele-
ment in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of
the largest element in X(j). The estimate is as
reliable as the estimate for RCOND, and is almost
always a slight overestimate of the true error.
BERR (output)
The componentwise relative backward error of each
solution vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative
change in any element of A or B that makes X(j) an
exact solution).
WORK (workspace)
dimension(3*N)
WORK2 (workspace)
dimension(N)
INFO (output)
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an ille-
gal value
