PURPOSE

21       DSPTRF computes the factorization of a real symmetric matrix  A  stored
22       in packed format using the Bunch-Kaufman diagonal pivoting method:
23
24          A = U*D*U**T  or  A = L*D*L**T
25
26       where  U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower) tri‐
27       angular matrices, and D is symmetric and block diagonal with 1-by-1 and
28       2-by-2 diagonal blocks.

ARGUMENTS

32       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
33               = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
34               = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
35
36       N       (input) INTEGER
37               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
38
39       AP      (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
40               On  entry,  the upper or lower triangle of the symmetric matrix
41               A, packed columnwise in a linear array.  The j-th column  of  A
42               is  stored  in  the  array AP as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i +
43               (j-1)*j/2) =  A(i,j)  for  1<=i<=j;  if  UPLO  =  'L',  AP(i  +
44               (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.
45
46               On  exit,  the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used
47               to obtain the factor U or L,  stored  as  a  packed  triangular
48               matrix overwriting A (see below for further details).
49
50       IPIV    (output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
51               Details  of  the interchanges and the block structure of D.  If
52               IPIV(k) > 0, then rows and columns k and  IPIV(k)  were  inter‐
53               changed  and  D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal block.  If UPLO = 'U'
54               and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k-1) < 0, then  rows  and  columns  k-1  and
55               -IPIV(k) were interchanged and D(k-1:k,k-1:k) is a 2-by-2 diag‐
56               onal block.  If UPLO = 'L' and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k+1)  <  0,  then
57               rows  and  columns  k+1  and  -IPIV(k)  were  interchanged  and
58               D(k:k+1,k:k+1) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.
59
60       INFO    (output) INTEGER
61               = 0: successful exit
62               < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
63               > 0: if INFO = i, D(i,i) is exactly  zero.   The  factorization
64               has  been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is exactly
65               singular, and division by zero will occur  if  it  is  used  to
66               solve a system of equations.

72       If UPLO = 'U', then A = U*D*U', where
73          U = P(n)*U(n)* ... *P(k)U(k)* ...,
74       i.e.,  U is a product of terms P(k)*U(k), where k decreases from n to 1
75       in steps of 1 or 2, and D is a block diagonal matrix  with  1-by-1  and
76       2-by-2  diagonal  blocks D(k).  P(k) is a permutation matrix as defined
77       by IPIV(k), and U(k) is a unit upper triangular matrix,  such  that  if
78       the diagonal block D(k) is of order s (s = 1 or 2), then
79
80                  (   I    v    0   )   k-s
81          U(k) =  (   0    I    0   )   s
82                  (   0    0    I   )   n-k
83                     k-s   s   n-k
84
85       If  s = 1, D(k) overwrites A(k,k), and v overwrites A(1:k-1,k).  If s =
86       2, the upper triangle of  D(k)  overwrites  A(k-1,k-1),  A(k-1,k),  and
87       A(k,k), and v overwrites A(1:k-2,k-1:k).
88
89       If UPLO = 'L', then A = L*D*L', where
90          L = P(1)*L(1)* ... *P(k)*L(k)* ...,
91       i.e.,  L is a product of terms P(k)*L(k), where k increases from 1 to n
92       in steps of 1 or 2, and D is a block diagonal matrix  with  1-by-1  and
93       2-by-2  diagonal  blocks D(k).  P(k) is a permutation matrix as defined
94       by IPIV(k), and L(k) is a unit lower triangular matrix,  such  that  if
95       the diagonal block D(k) is of order s (s = 1 or 2), then
96
97                  (   I    0     0   )  k-1
98          L(k) =  (   0    I     0   )  s
99                  (   0    v     I   )  n-k-s+1
100                     k-1   s  n-k-s+1
101
102       If  s = 1, D(k) overwrites A(k,k), and v overwrites A(k+1:n,k).  If s =
103       2,  the  lower  triangle  of  D(k)  overwrites  A(k,k),  A(k+1,k),  and
104       A(k+1,k+1), and v overwrites A(k+2:n,k:k+1).
