Solution to a Linear System in a General Matrix (Simple Driver)

The subroutines described in this section solve a linear system AX = B for a square general matrix A and general matrices B and X. Note that the expert driver xGESVX is also available.

Calling Sequence

CALL DGESV 
(N, NRHS, DA, LDA, IPIVOT, DB, LDB, INFO)
CALL SGESV 
(N, NRHS, SA, LDA, IPIVOT, SB, LDB, INFO)
CALL ZGESV 
(N, NRHS, ZA, LDA, IPIVOT, ZB, LDB, INFO)
CALL CGESV 
(N, NRHS, CA, LDA, IPIVOT, CB, LDB, INFO)






void dgesv 
(int n, int nrhs, double *da, int lda, int *ipivot, 
double *db, int ldb, int *info)
void sgesv 
(int n, int nrhs, float *sa, int lda, int *ipivot, 
float *sb, int ldb, int *info)
void zgesv

void cgesv 
(int n, int nrhs, complex *ca, int lda, int *ipivot, 
complex *cb, int ldb, int *info)

Arguments

N

Order of the matrix A. N 0.

NRHS

Number of right-hand sides, equal to the number of columns of the matrix B. NRHS 0.

xA

On entry, the N×N matrix A.
On exit, the LU factorization of A as computed by xGETRF.

LDA

Leading dimension of the array A as specified in a dimension or type statement. LDA max(1, N).

IPIVOT

On exit, pivot indices as computed by xGETRF.

xB

On entry, the N×NRHS right-hand side matrix B.
On exit, the N×NRHS solution matrix X.

LDB

Leading dimension of the array B as specified in a dimension or type statement. LDB max(1, N).

INFO

On exit:

INFO = 0

Subroutine completed normally.

INFO < 0

The ith argument, where i = |INFO|, had an illegal value.

INFO > 0

U(i,i), where i = INFO, is exactly zero and U is therefore singular. The LU factorization has been completed, but the solution could not be computed.
