5.3.2. BandSPD SOEΒΆ

system('BandSPD')

This command is used to construct a BandSPDSOE linear system of equation object. As the name implies, this class is used for symmetric positive definite matrix systems which have a banded profile. The matrix is stored as shown below in a 1 dimensional array of size equal to the (bandwidth/2) times the number of unknowns. When a solution is required, the Lapack routines DPBSV and DPBTRS are used.
