In this paper, we investigate the numerical error propagation and provide systematic backward stability analysis for some hierarchical rank structured matrix algorithms. We prove the backward stability of various important hierarchically semiseparable (HSS) methods, such as HSS matrix-vector multiplications, HSS ULV linear system solutions, HSS linear least squares solutions, HSS inversions, and some variations. Concrete backward error bounds are given, including a structured backward error for the solution in terms of the structured factors. The error propagation factors involve only low-degree powers of the maximum off-diagonal numerical rank and the logarithm of the matrix size. Thus, as compared with the corresponding standard dense matrix algorithms, the HSS algorithms not only are faster but also have much better stability. We also show that factorization-based HSS solutions are usually preferred, while inversion-based ones may suffer from numerical instability. The analysis builds a comprehensive f...
