linear_solver()

subroutine, public regrid_solvers::linear_solver	(	integer, intent(in)	N,

		real, dimension(n), intent(inout)	R,

Solve the linear system AX = R by Gaussian elimination.

This routine uses Gauss's algorithm to transform the system's original matrix into an upper triangular matrix. Back substitution then yields the answer. The matrix A must be square, with the first index varing along the row.

Parameters

[in]	n	The size of the system
[in,out]	a	The matrix being inverted [nondim]
[in,out]	r	system right-hand side [A]
[in,out]	x	solution vector [A]

Solve the tridiagonal system AX = R.

This routine uses a variant of Thomas's algorithm to solve the tridiagonal system AX = R, in a form that is guaranteed to avoid dividing by a zero pivot. The matrix A is made up of lower (Al) and upper diagonals (Au) and a central diagonal Ad = Ac+Al+Au, where Al, Au, and Ac are all positive (or negative) definite. However when Ac is smaller than roundoff compared with (Al+Au), the answers are prone to inaccuracy.

Parameters

[in]	n	The size of the system
[in]	ac	Matrix center diagonal offset from Al + Au
[in]	al	Matrix lower diagonal
[in]	au	Matrix upper diagonal
[in]	r	system right-hand side
[out]	x	solution vector
