PURPOSE

21       DLASYF computes a partial factorization of a real  symmetric  matrix  A
22       using  the  Bunch-Kaufman diagonal pivoting method. The partial factor‐
23       ization has the form:
24       A  =  ( I  U12 ) ( A11  0  ) (  I    0   )  if UPLO = 'U', or:
25             ( 0  U22 ) (  0   D  ) ( U12' U22' )
26       A  =  ( L11  0 ) (  D   0  ) ( L11' L21' )  if UPLO = 'L'
27             ( L21  I ) (  0  A22 ) (  0    I   )
28       where the order of D is at most NB. The actual order is returned in the
29       argument  KB,  and is either NB or NB-1, or N if N <= NB.  DLASYF is an
30       auxiliary routine called by DSYTRF. It uses blocked code (calling Level
31       3  BLAS)  to update the submatrix A11 (if UPLO = 'U') or A22 (if UPLO =
32       'L').

ARGUMENTS

35       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
36               Specifies whether the upper or lower  triangular  part  of  the
37               symmetric matrix A is stored:
38               = 'U':  Upper triangular
39               = 'L':  Lower triangular
40
41       N       (input) INTEGER
42               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
43
44       NB      (input) INTEGER
45               The  maximum  number  of columns of the matrix A that should be
46               factored.  NB should be at least 2 to allow  for  2-by-2  pivot
47               blocks.
48
49       KB      (output) INTEGER
50               The  number of columns of A that were actually factored.  KB is
51               either NB-1 or NB, or N if N <= NB.
52
53       A       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
54               On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U',  the  leading
55               n-by-n upper triangular part of A contains the upper triangular
56               part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of
57               A  is  not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading n-by-n lower
58               triangular part of A contains the lower triangular part of  the
59               matrix  A,  and  the strictly upper triangular part of A is not
60               referenced.  On exit, A contains details of the partial factor‐
61               ization.
62
63       LDA     (input) INTEGER
64               The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
65
66       IPIV    (output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
67               Details  of  the interchanges and the block structure of D.  If
68               UPLO = 'U', only the last KB elements of IPIV are set; if  UPLO
69               =  'L',  only  the  first KB elements are set.  If IPIV(k) > 0,
70               then rows and columns  k  and  IPIV(k)  were  interchanged  and
71               D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal block.  If UPLO = 'U' and IPIV(k) =
72               IPIV(k-1) < 0, then rows and  columns  k-1  and  -IPIV(k)  were
73               interchanged and D(k-1:k,k-1:k) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.  If
74               UPLO = 'L' and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k+1) < 0, then rows  and  columns
75               k+1  and  -IPIV(k)  were  interchanged  and D(k:k+1,k:k+1) is a
76               2-by-2 diagonal block.
77
78       W       (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDW,NB)
79
80       LDW     (input) INTEGER
81               The leading dimension of the array W.  LDW >= max(1,N).
82
83       INFO    (output) INTEGER
84               = 0: successful exit
85               > 0: if INFO = k, D(k,k) is exactly  zero.   The  factorization
86               has  been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is exactly
87               singular.
