Solving Systems of Linear Equations

In this example we will solve a system of linear equations \(Ax=b\). For this purpose we first compute the \(LU\) factorization of \(A\) with lapack::trf and then use the triangular solver lapack::trs to finish the job.

Example Code

#include <iostream>
#include <flens/flens.cxx>

using namespace std;
using namespace flens;

int
main()
{
    GeMatrix<FullStorage<double> >   A(44);
    DenseVector<Array<double> >      b(4);
    DenseVector<Array<int> >         piv(4);

    A =  2,   3,  -1,   0,
        -6,  -5,   0,   2,
         2,  -5,   6,  -6,
         4,   6,   2,  -3;

    b = 20,
       -33,
       -43,
        49;

    cout << "A = " << A << endl;
    cout << "b = " << b << endl;

    lapack::trf(A, piv);

    lapack::trs(NoTrans, A, piv, b);
    cout << "X = " << b << endl;
}

Compute the \(PLU = A\) factorization with lapack::trf

    lapack::trf(A, piv);

Solve the system of linear equation \(PLUx = b\) using lapack::trs. Vector \(b\) gets overwritten with vector \(x\).

    lapack::trs(NoTrans, A, piv, b);
    cout << "X = " << b << endl;
}

#include <flens/flens.cxx>

using namespace std;
using namespace flens;

int
main()
{
    typedef complex<double>             Complex;

Setup matrix \(A\). Note that 2+I or 2*I would not work. That's because the STL does not define the operation int+complex<double> or int*complex<double>.

    A =   2,    3,  -I,    0,
         -6,   -5,   02.+I,
       2.*I,   -5,   6,   -6,
          46.*I,   2,   -3;
