PURPOSE
CGERFS improves the computed solution to a system of linear equations
and provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the solu‐
tion.
ARGUMENTS
TRANS (input) CHARACTER*1
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)
N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
NRHS (input) INTEGER
The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of
the matrices B and X. NRHS >= 0.
A (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
The original N-by-N matrix A.
LDA (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N).
AF (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDAF,N)
The factors L and U from the factorization A = P*L*U as com‐
puted by CGETRF.
LDAF (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array AF. LDAF >= max(1,N).
IPIV (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
The pivot indices from CGETRF; for 1<=i<=N, row i of the matrix
was interchanged with row IPIV(i).
B (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
The right hand side matrix B.
LDB (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,N).
X (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by CGETRS. On
exit, the improved solution matrix X.
LDX (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >= max(1,N).
FERR (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
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) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vec‐
tor X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element of
A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).
WORK (workspace) COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N)
RWORK (workspace) REAL array, dimension (N)
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
PARAMETERS
ITMAX is the maximum number of steps of iterative refinement.
