1  Purpose

nag_sparse_herm_precon_ichol_solve (f11jpc) solves a system of complex linear equations involving the incomplete Cholesky preconditioning matrix generated by nag_sparse_herm_chol_fac (f11jnc).

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf11.h>
void  nag_sparse_herm_precon_ichol_solve (Integer n, const Complex a[], Integer la, const Integer irow[], const Integer icol[], const Integer ipiv[], const Integer istr[], Nag_SparseSym_CheckData check, const Complex y[], Complex x[], NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_sparse_herm_precon_ichol_solve (f11jpc) solves a system of linear equations
Mx=y  
involving the preconditioning matrix M=PLDLHPT, corresponding to an incomplete Cholesky decomposition of a complex sparse Hermitian matrix stored in symmetric coordinate storage (SCS) format (see Section 2.1.2 in the f11 Chapter Introduction), as generated by nag_sparse_herm_chol_fac (f11jnc).
In the above decomposition L is a complex lower triangular sparse matrix with unit diagonal, D is a real diagonal matrix and P is a permutation matrix. L and D are supplied to nag_sparse_herm_precon_ichol_solve (f11jpc) through the matrix
C=L+D-1-I  
which is a lower triangular n by n complex sparse matrix, stored in SCS format, as returned by nag_sparse_herm_chol_fac (f11jnc). The permutation matrix P is returned from nag_sparse_herm_chol_fac (f11jnc) via the array ipiv.
nag_sparse_herm_precon_ichol_solve (f11jpc) may also be used in combination with nag_sparse_herm_chol_fac (f11jnc) to solve a sparse complex Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations directly (see nag_sparse_herm_chol_fac (f11jnc)). This is illustrated in Section 10.

7  Accuracy

The computed solution x is the exact solution of a perturbed system of equations M+δMx=y, where
δMcnεPLDLHPT,  
cn is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.

8  Parallelism and Performance

Not applicable.

9  Further Comments

9.1  Timing

The time taken for a call to nag_sparse_herm_precon_ichol_solve (f11jpc) is proportional to the value of nnzc returned from nag_sparse_herm_chol_fac (f11jnc).

10  Example

This example reads in a complex sparse Hermitian positive definite matrix A and a vector y. It then calls nag_sparse_herm_chol_fac (f11jnc), with lfill=-1 and dtol=0.0, to compute the complete Cholesky decomposition of A:
A=PLDLHPT.  
Finally it calls nag_sparse_herm_precon_ichol_solve (f11jpc) to solve the system
PLDLHPTx=y.
