PURPOSE

stprfs provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution to a system of linear equations with a triangular packed coefficient matrix.

The solution matrix X must be computed by STPTRS or some other means before entering this routine. STPRFS does not do iterative refinement because doing so cannot improve the backward error.

ARGUMENTS

• 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  = Transpose)

• DIAG (input)
  

   = 'N':  A is non-unit triangular;

   = 'U':  A is unit triangular.

• N (input)
  The order of the matrix A. N > = 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 matrix A, packed columnwise in a linear array. The j-th column of A is stored in the array A as follows: if UPLO = 'U', A(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1 < =i < =j; if UPLO = 'L', A(i + (j-1)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j < =i < =n. If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are not referenced and are assumed to be 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 solution 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 element 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 illegal value
