 **CGTSVX computes the solution to system of linear equations A \* X = B for GT matrices**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> CGTSVX uses the LU factorization to compute the solution to a complex
!> system of linear equations A * X = B, A**T * X = B, or A**H * X = B,
!> where A is a tridiagonal matrix of order N and X and B are N-by-NRHS
!> matrices.
!>
!> Error bounds on the solution and a condition estimate are also
!> provided.
!>
```

**Description:**

```
!>
!> The following steps are performed:
!>
!> 1. If FACT = 'N', the LU decomposition is used to factor the matrix A
!>    as A = L * U, where L is a product of permutation and unit lower
!>    bidiagonal matrices and U is upper triangular with nonzeros in
!>    only the main diagonal and first two superdiagonals.
!>
!> 2. If some U(i,i)=0, so that U is exactly singular, then the routine
!>    returns with INFO = i. Otherwise, the factored form of A is used
!>    to estimate the condition number of the matrix A.  If the
!>    reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision,
!>    INFO = N+1 is returned as a warning, but the routine still goes on
!>    to solve for X and compute error bounds as described below.
!>
!> 3. The system of equations is solved for X using the factored form
!>    of A.
!>
!> 4. Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution
!>    matrix and calculate error bounds and backward error estimates
!>    for it.
!>
```

!>          RCOND is REAL

!>          A.  If RCOND is less than the machine precision (in
!>          particular, if RCOND = 0), the matrix is singular to working
!>          precision.  This condition is indicated by a return code of
!>          INFO > 0.
!>
```

*FERR*

```
!>          FERR is 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*

```
!>          BERR is REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
!>          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).
!>
```

!>
```

*RWORK*

```
!>          RWORK is REAL array, dimension (N)
!>
```

*INFO*

```
!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>          = 0:  successful exit
!>          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
!>          > 0:  if INFO = i, and i is
!>                <= N:  U(i,i) is exactly zero.  The factorization
!>                       has not been completed unless i = N, but the
!>                       factor U is exactly singular, so the solution
!>                       and error bounds could not be computed.
!>                       RCOND = 0 is returned.
!>                = N+1: U is nonsingular, but RCOND is less than machine
!>                       precision, meaning that the matrix is singular
!>                       to working precision.  Nevertheless, the
!>                       solution and error bounds are computed because
!>                       there are a number of situations where the
!>                       computed solution can be more accurate than the
!>                       value of RCOND would suggest.
