PURPOSE

24       ZLATPS solves one of the triangular systems
25
26       with scaling to prevent overflow, where A is an upper or lower triangu‐
27       lar matrix stored in packed form.  Here A**T denotes the  transpose  of
28       A,  A**H  denotes  the  conjugate transpose of A, x and b are n-element
29       vectors, and s is a scaling factor, usually less than or  equal  to  1,
30       chosen  so  that  the  components  of  x will be less than the overflow
31       threshold.  If the unscaled problem will not cause overflow, the  Level
32       2 BLAS routine ZTPSV is called. If the matrix A is singular (A(j,j) = 0
33       for some j), then s is set to 0 and a non-trivial solution to A*x  =  0
34       is returned.

ARGUMENTS

38       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
39               Specifies whether the matrix A is upper or lower triangular.  =
40               'U':  Upper triangular
41               = 'L':  Lower triangular
42
43       TRANS   (input) CHARACTER*1
44               Specifies the operation applied to A.  = 'N':  Solve A  *  x  =
45               s*b     (No transpose)
46               = 'T':  Solve A**T * x = s*b  (Transpose)
47               = 'C':  Solve A**H * x = s*b  (Conjugate transpose)
48
49       DIAG    (input) CHARACTER*1
50               Specifies  whether  or  not the matrix A is unit triangular.  =
51               'N':  Non-unit triangular
52               = 'U':  Unit triangular
53
54       NORMIN  (input) CHARACTER*1
55               Specifies whether CNORM has been set or  not.   =  'Y':   CNORM
56               contains the column norms on entry
57               =  'N':  CNORM is not set on entry.  On exit, the norms will be
58               computed and stored in CNORM.
59
60       N       (input) INTEGER
61               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
62
63       AP      (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
64               The upper or lower triangular matrix A, packed columnwise in  a
65               linear  array.   The j-th column of A is stored in the array AP
66               as follows: if UPLO = 'U',  AP(i  +  (j-1)*j/2)  =  A(i,j)  for
67               1<=i<=j;  if  UPLO  =  'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for
68               j<=i<=n.
69
70       X       (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N)
71               On entry, the right hand side b of the triangular  system.   On
72               exit, X is overwritten by the solution vector x.
73
74       SCALE   (output) DOUBLE PRECISION
75               The  scaling  factor  s  for the triangular system A * x = s*b,
76               A**T * x = s*b,  or  A**H * x = s*b.  If SCALE = 0, the  matrix
77               A  is singular or badly scaled, and the vector x is an exact or
78               approximate solution to A*x = 0.
79
80       CNORM   (input or output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
81
82               If NORMIN = 'Y', CNORM is an input argument and  CNORM(j)  con‐
83               tains  the  norm of the off-diagonal part of the j-th column of
84               A.  If TRANS = 'N', CNORM(j) must be greater than or  equal  to
85               the  infinity-norm, and if TRANS = 'T' or 'C', CNORM(j) must be
86               greater than or equal to the 1-norm.
87
88               If NORMIN = 'N', CNORM  is  an  output  argument  and  CNORM(j)
89               returns  the  1-norm of the offdiagonal part of the j-th column
90               of A.
91
92       INFO    (output) INTEGER
93               = 0:  successful exit
94               < 0:  if INFO = -k, the k-th argument had an illegal value

FURTHER DETAILS

97       A rough bound on x is computed; if that is less than overflow, ZTPSV is
98       called,  otherwise,  specific  code  is  used which checks for possible
99       overflow or divide-by-zero at every operation.
100
101       A columnwise scheme is used for solving A*x = b.  The  basic  algorithm
102       if A is lower triangular is
103
104            x[1:n] := b[1:n]
105            for j = 1, ..., n
106                 x(j) := x(j) / A(j,j)
107                 x[j+1:n] := x[j+1:n] - x(j) * A[j+1:n,j]
108            end
109
110       Define bounds on the components of x after j iterations of the loop:
111          M(j) = bound on x[1:j]
112          G(j) = bound on x[j+1:n]
113       Initially, let M(0) = 0 and G(0) = max{x(i), i=1,...,n}.
114
115       Then for iteration j+1 we have
116          M(j+1) <= G(j) / | A(j+1,j+1) |
117          G(j+1) <= G(j) + M(j+1) * | A[j+2:n,j+1] |
118                 <= G(j) ( 1 + CNORM(j+1) / | A(j+1,j+1) | )
119
120       where  CNORM(j+1) is greater than or equal to the infinity-norm of col‐
121       umn j+1 of A, not counting the diagonal.  Hence
122
123          G(j) <= G(0) product ( 1 + CNORM(i) / | A(i,i) | )
124                       1<=i<=j
125       and
126
127          |x(j)| <= ( G(0) / |A(j,j)| ) product ( 1 + CNORM(i) / |A(i,i)| )
128                                        1<=i< j
129
130       Since |x(j)| <= M(j), we use the Level 2  BLAS  routine  ZTPSV  if  the
131       reciprocal of the largest M(j), j=1,..,n, is larger than
132       max(underflow, 1/overflow).
133
134       The  bound on x(j) is also used to determine when a step in the column‐
135       wise method can be performed without fear of overflow.  If the computed
136       bound  is  greater  than a large constant, x is scaled to prevent over‐
137       flow, but if the bound overflows, x is set to 0, x(j) to 1,  and  scale
138       to 0, and a non-trivial solution to A*x = 0 is found.
139
140       Similarly, a row-wise scheme is used to solve A**T *x = b  or A**H *x =
141       b.  The basic algorithm for A upper triangular is
142
143            for j = 1, ..., n
144                 x(j) := ( b(j) - A[1:j-1,j]' * x[1:j-1] ) / A(j,j)
145            end
146
147       We simultaneously compute two bounds
148            G(j) = bound on ( b(i) - A[1:i-1,i]' * x[1:i-1] ), 1<=i<=j
149            M(j) = bound on x(i), 1<=i<=j
150
151       The initial values are G(0) = 0, M(0) = max{b(i), i=1,..,n}, and we add
152       the  constraint G(j) >= G(j-1) and M(j) >= M(j-1) for j >= 1.  Then the
153       bound on x(j) is
154
155            M(j) <= M(j-1) * ( 1 + CNORM(j) ) / | A(j,j) |
156
157                 <= M(0) * product ( ( 1 + CNORM(i) ) / |A(i,i)| )
158                           1<=i<=j
159
160       and we can safely call ZTPSV if 1/M(n) and 1/G(n) are both greater than
161       max(underflow, 1/overflow).
