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          A = U*D*U**H  or  A = L*D*L**H
25       where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)  tri‐
26       angular matrices, and D is Hermitian and block diagonal with 1-by-1 and
27       2-by-2 diagonal blocks.
28       This is the blocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 3 BLAS.

ARGUMENTS

31       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
32               = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
33               = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
34
35       N       (input) INTEGER
36               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
37
38       A       (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
39               On entry, the Hermitian matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U',  the  leading
40               N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the upper triangular
41               part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of
42               A  is  not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower
43               triangular part of A contains the lower triangular part of  the
44               matrix  A,  and  the strictly upper triangular part of A is not
45               referenced.  On exit, the block diagonal matrix D and the  mul‐
46               tipliers  used  to obtain the factor U or L (see below for fur‐
47               ther details).
48
49       LDA     (input) INTEGER
50               The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
51
52       IPIV    (output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
53               Details of the interchanges and the block structure of  D.   If
54               IPIV(k)  >  0,  then rows and columns k and IPIV(k) were inter‐
55               changed and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal block.  If UPLO  =  'U'
56               and  IPIV(k)  =  IPIV(k-1)  <  0, then rows and columns k-1 and
57               -IPIV(k) were interchanged and D(k-1:k,k-1:k) is a 2-by-2 diag‐
58               onal  block.   If  UPLO = 'L' and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k+1) < 0, then
59               rows  and  columns  k+1  and  -IPIV(k)  were  interchanged  and
60               D(k:k+1,k:k+1) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.
61
62       WORK    (workspace/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))
63               On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.
64
65       LWORK   (input) INTEGER
66               The  length of WORK.  LWORK >=1.  For best performance LWORK >=
67               N*NB, where NB is the block size returned by ILAENV.
68
69       INFO    (output) INTEGER
70               = 0:  successful exit
71               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
72               > 0:  if INFO = i, D(i,i) is exactly zero.   The  factorization
73               has  been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is exactly
74               singular, and division by zero will occur  if  it  is  used  to
75               solve a system of equations.

FURTHER DETAILS

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