 **ZTRRFS**

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine ztrrfs (character uplo, character trans, character diag, integer n, integer nrhs, complex\*16, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, complex\*16, dimension( ldb, \* ) b, integer ldb, complex\*16, dimension( ldx, \* ) x, integer ldx, double precision, dimension( \* ) ferr, double precision, dimension( \* ) berr, complex\*16, dimension( \* ) work, double precision, dimension( \* ) rwork, integer info)

**ZTRRFS**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> ZTRRFS provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the
!> solution to a system of linear equations with a triangular
!> coefficient matrix.
!>
!> The solution matrix X must be computed by ZTRTRS or some other
!> means before entering this routine.  ZTRRFS does not do iterative
!> refinement because doing so cannot improve the backward error.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*UPLO*

```
!>          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
!>          = 'U':  A is upper triangular;
!>          = 'L':  A is lower triangular.
!>
```

*TRANS*

```
!>          TRANS is 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)
!>
```

*DIAG*

```
!>          DIAG is CHARACTER*1
!>          = 'N':  A is non-unit triangular;
!>          = 'U':  A is unit triangular.
!>
```

*N*

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
!>
```

*NRHS*

```
!>          NRHS is INTEGER
!>          The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns
!>          of the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.
!>
```

*A*

```
!>          A is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDA,N)
!>          The triangular matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N
!>          upper triangular part of the array A contains the upper
!>          triangular matrix, and the strictly lower triangular part of
!>          A is not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower
!>          triangular part of the array A contains the lower triangular
!>          matrix, and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not
!>          referenced.  If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are
!>          also not referenced and are assumed to be 1.
!>
```

*LDA*

```
!>          LDA is INTEGER
!>          The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
!>
```

*B*

```
!>          B is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
!>          The right hand side matrix B.
!>
```

*LDB*

```
!>          LDB is INTEGER
!>          The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).
!>
```

*X*

```
!>          X is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
!>          The solution matrix X.
!>
```

*LDX*

```
!>          LDX is INTEGER
!>          The leading dimension of the array X.  LDX >= max(1,N).
!>
```

*FERR*

```
!>          FERR is DOUBLE PRECISION 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 DOUBLE PRECISION 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).
!>
```

*WORK*

```
!>          WORK is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (2*N)
!>
```

*RWORK*

```
!>          RWORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
!>
```

*INFO*

```
!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>          = 0:  successful exit
!>          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
!>
