PURPOSE

21       CHETRF computes the factorization of a complex Hermitian matrix A using
22       the Bunch-Kaufman diagonal pivoting method.  The form of the factoriza‐
23       tion is
24
25          A = U*D*U**H  or  A = L*D*L**H
26
27       where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)  tri‐
28       angular matrices, and D is Hermitian and block diagonal with 1-by-1 and
29       2-by-2 diagonal blocks.
30
31       This is the blocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 3 BLAS.

ARGUMENTS

35       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
36               = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
37               = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
38
39       N       (input) INTEGER
40               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
41
42       A       (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
43               On entry, the Hermitian matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U',  the  leading
44               N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the upper triangular
45               part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of
46               A  is  not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower
47               triangular part of A contains the lower triangular part of  the
48               matrix  A,  and  the strictly upper triangular part of A is not
49               referenced.
50
51               On exit, the block diagonal matrix D and the  multipliers  used
52               to obtain the factor U or L (see below for further details).
53
54       LDA     (input) INTEGER
55               The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
56
57       IPIV    (output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
58               Details  of  the interchanges and the block structure of D.  If
59               IPIV(k) > 0, then rows and columns k and  IPIV(k)  were  inter‐
60               changed  and  D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal block.  If UPLO = 'U'
61               and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k-1) < 0, then  rows  and  columns  k-1  and
62               -IPIV(k) were interchanged and D(k-1:k,k-1:k) is a 2-by-2 diag‐
63               onal block.  If UPLO = 'L' and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k+1)  <  0,  then
64               rows  and  columns  k+1  and  -IPIV(k)  were  interchanged  and
65               D(k:k+1,k:k+1) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.
66
67       WORK    (workspace/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))
68               On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.
69
70       LWORK   (input) INTEGER
71               The length of WORK.  LWORK >=1.  For best performance LWORK  >=
72               N*NB, where NB is the block size returned by ILAENV.
73
74       INFO    (output) INTEGER
75               = 0:  successful exit
76               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
77               >  0:   if INFO = i, D(i,i) is exactly zero.  The factorization
78               has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is  exactly
79               singular,  and  division  by  zero  will occur if it is used to
80               solve a system of equations.

FURTHER DETAILS

83       If UPLO = 'U', then A = U*D*U', where
84          U = P(n)*U(n)* ... *P(k)U(k)* ...,
85       i.e., U is a product of terms P(k)*U(k), where k decreases from n to  1
86       in  steps  of  1 or 2, and D is a block diagonal matrix with 1-by-1 and
87       2-by-2 diagonal blocks D(k).  P(k) is a permutation matrix  as  defined
88       by  IPIV(k),  and  U(k) is a unit upper triangular matrix, such that if
89       the diagonal block D(k) is of order s (s = 1 or 2), then
90
91                  (   I    v    0   )   k-s
92          U(k) =  (   0    I    0   )   s
93                  (   0    0    I   )   n-k
94                     k-s   s   n-k
95
96       If s = 1, D(k) overwrites A(k,k), and v overwrites A(1:k-1,k).  If s  =
97       2,  the  upper  triangle  of  D(k) overwrites A(k-1,k-1), A(k-1,k), and
98       A(k,k), and v overwrites A(1:k-2,k-1:k).
99
100       If UPLO = 'L', then A = L*D*L', where
101          L = P(1)*L(1)* ... *P(k)*L(k)* ...,
102       i.e., L is a product of terms P(k)*L(k), where k increases from 1 to  n
103       in  steps  of  1 or 2, and D is a block diagonal matrix with 1-by-1 and
104       2-by-2 diagonal blocks D(k).  P(k) is a permutation matrix  as  defined
105       by  IPIV(k),  and  L(k) is a unit lower triangular matrix, such that if
106       the diagonal block D(k) is of order s (s = 1 or 2), then
107
108                  (   I    0     0   )  k-1
109          L(k) =  (   0    I     0   )  s
110                  (   0    v     I   )  n-k-s+1
111                     k-1   s  n-k-s+1
112
113       If s = 1, D(k) overwrites A(k,k), and v overwrites A(k+1:n,k).  If s  =
114       2,  the  lower  triangle  of  D(k)  overwrites  A(k,k),  A(k+1,k),  and
115       A(k+1,k+1), and v overwrites A(k+2:n,k:k+1).
