Standard Solution Example

This example solves a normally defined system of 3 equations of 3 unknowns.

program example
    use iso_fortran_env
    use linalg
    implicit none

    ! Local Variables
    real(dp) :: a(3,3), b(3)
    integer(i32) :: i, pvt(3)

    ! Build the 3-by-3 matrix A.
    !     | 1   2   3 |
    ! A = | 4   5   6 |
    !     | 7   8   0 |
    a = reshape( &
        [1.0d0, 4.0d0, 7.0d0, 2.0d0, 5.0d0, 8.0d0, 3.0d0, 6.0d0, 0.0d0], &
        [3, 3])

    ! Build the right-hand-side vector B.
    !     | -1 |
    ! b = | -2 |
    !     | -3 |
    b = [-1.0d0, -2.0d0, -3.0d0]

    ! The solution is:
    !     |  1/3 |
    ! x = | -2/3 |
    !     |   0  |

    ! Compute the LU factorization
    call lu_factor(a, pvt)

    ! Compute the solution.  The results overwrite b.
    call solve_lu(a, pvt, b)

    ! Display the results.
    print '(A)', "LU Solution: X = "
    print '(F8.4)', (b(i), i = 1, size(b))
end program

The above program produces the following output.

LU Solution: X =
  0.3333
 -0.6667
  0.0000

Overdetermined System Example

This example solves an overdetermined system of 3 equations of 2 uknowns.

program example
    use iso_fortran_env
    use linalg
    implicit none

    ! Local Variables
    real(dp) :: a(3,2), b(3)
    integer(i32) :: i

    ! Build the 3-by-2 matrix A
    !     | 2   1 |
    ! A = |-3   1 |
    !     |-1   1 |
    a = reshape([2.0d0, -3.0d0, -1.0d0, 1.0d0, 1.0d0, 1.0d0], [3, 2])

    ! Build the right-hand-side vector B.
    !     |-1 |
    ! b = |-2 |
    !     | 1 |
    b = [-1.0d0, -2.0d0, 1.0d0]

    ! The solution is:
    ! x = [0.13158, -0.57895]**T

    ! Compute the solution via a least-squares approach.  The results overwrite
    ! the first 2 elements in b.
    call solve_least_squares(a, b)

    ! Display the results
    print '(A)', "Least Squares Solution: X = "
    print '(F9.5)', (b(i), i = 1, size(a, 2))
end program

The above program produces the following output.

Least Squares Solution: X =
  0.13158
 -0.57895

Eigen Analysis Example

This example computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a mechanical system consisting of several masses connected by springs.

! This is an example illustrating the use of the eigenvalue and eigenvector
! routines to solve a free vibration problem of 3 masses connected by springs.
!
!     k1           k2           k3           k4
! |-\/\/\-| m1 |-\/\/\-| m2 |-\/\/\-| m3 |-\/\/\-|
!
! As illustrated above, the system consists of 3 masses connected by springs.
! Spring k1 and spring k4 connect the end masses to ground.  The equations of
! motion for this system are as follows.
!
! | m1  0   0 | |x1"|   | k1+k2  -k2      0  | |x1|   |0|
! | 0   m2  0 | |x2"| + |  -k2  k2+k3    -k3 | |x2| = |0|
! | 0   0   m3| |x3"|   |   0    -k3    k3+k4| |x3|   |0|
!
! Notice: x1" = the second time derivative of x1.
program example
    use iso_fortran_env
    use linalg
    implicit none

    ! Define the model parameters
    real(dp), parameter :: pi = 3.14159265359d0
    real(dp), parameter :: m1 = 0.5d0
    real(dp), parameter :: m2 = 2.5d0
    real(dp), parameter :: m3 = 0.75d0
    real(dp), parameter :: k1 = 5.0d6
    real(dp), parameter :: k2 = 10.0d6
    real(dp), parameter :: k3 = 10.0d6
    real(dp), parameter :: k4 = 5.0d6

    ! Local Variables
    integer(i32) :: i, j
    real(dp) :: m(3,3), k(3,3), natFreq(3)
    complex(dp) :: vals(3), modeShapes(3,3)

    ! Define the mass matrix
    m = reshape([m1, 0.0d0, 0.0d0, 0.0d0, m2, 0.0d0, 0.0d0, 0.0d0, m3], [3, 3])

    ! Define the stiffness matrix
    k = reshape([k1 + k2, -k2, 0.0d0, -k2, k2 + k3, -k3, 0.0d0, -k3, k3 + k4], &
        [3, 3])

    ! Compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
    call eigen(k, m, vals, vecs = modeShapes)

    ! Sort the eigenvalues and eigenvectors
    call sort(vals, modeShapes)

    ! Compute the natural frequency values, and return them with units of Hz.  
    ! Notice, all eigenvalues and eigenvectors are real for this example.
    natFreq = sqrt(real(vals)) / (2.0d0 * pi)

    ! Display the natural frequency and mode shape values.
    print '(A)', "Modal Information:"
    do i = 1, size(natFreq)
        print '(AI0AF8.4A)', "Mode ", i, ": (", natFreq(i), " Hz)"
        print '(F10.3)', (real(modeShapes(j,i)), j = 1, size(natFreq))
    end do
end program

The above program produces the following output.

Modal Information:
Mode 1: (232.9225 Hz)
    -0.718
    -1.000
    -0.747
Mode 2: (749.6189 Hz)
    -0.419
    -0.164
     1.000
Mode 3: (923.5669 Hz)
     1.000
    -0.184
     0.179

Sparse Matrix Example

The following example solves a sparse system of equations using a direct solver. The solution is compared to the solution of the same system of equations but in dense format for comparison.

program example
    use iso_fortran_env
    use linalg
    implicit none

    ! Local Variables
    integer(int32) :: ipiv(4)
    real(real64) :: dense(4, 4), b(4), x(4), bc(4)
    type(csr_matrix) :: sparse

    ! Build the matrices as dense matrices
    dense = reshape([ &
        5.0d0, 0.0d0, 0.0d0, 0.0d0, &
        0.0d0, 8.0d0, 0.0d0, 6.0d0, &
        0.0d0, 0.0d0, 3.0d0, 0.0d0, &
        0.0d0, 0.0d0, 0.0d0, 5.0d0], [4, 4])
    b = [2.0d0, -1.5d0, 8.0d0, 1.0d0]

    ! Convert to sparse (CSR format)
    ! Note, the assignment operator is overloaded to allow conversion.
    sparse = dense

    ! Compute the solution to the sparse equations
    call sparse_direct_solve(sparse, b, x)  ! Results stored in x

    ! Print the solution
    print "(A)", "Sparse Solution:"
    print *, x

    ! Perform a sanity check on the solution
    ! Note, matmul is overloaded to allow multiplication with sparse matrices
    bc = matmul(sparse, x)
    print "(A)", "Computed RHS:"
    print *, bc
    print "(A)", "Original RHS:"
    print *, b

    ! For comparison, solve the dense system via LU decomposition
    call lu_factor(dense, ipiv)
    call solve_lu(dense, ipiv, b)   ! Results stored in b
    print "(A)", "Dense Solution:"
    print *, b
end program

The above program produces the following output.
