PURPOSE

23       DLATBS solves one of the triangular systems are n-element vectors,  and
24       s  is a scaling factor, usually less than or equal to 1, chosen so that
25       the components of x will be less than the overflow threshold.   If  the
26       unscaled  problem  will  not  cause  overflow, the Level 2 BLAS routine
27       DTBSV is called.  If the matrix A is singular (A(j,j) = 0 for some  j),
28       then s is set to 0 and a non-trivial solution to A*x = 0 is returned.

ARGUMENTS

31       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1

35
36       TRANS   (input) CHARACTER*1
37               Specifies the operation applied to A.  = 'N':  Solve A  *  x  =
38               s*b  (No transpose)
39               = 'T':  Solve A'* x = s*b  (Transpose)

41
42       DIAG    (input) CHARACTER*1
43               Specifies  whether  or  not the matrix A is unit triangular.  =
44               'N':  Non-unit triangular

46
47       NORMIN  (input) CHARACTER*1
48               Specifies whether CNORM has been set or  not.   =  'Y':   CNORM
49               contains the column norms on entry
50               =  'N':  CNORM is not set on entry.  On exit, the norms will be
51               computed and stored in CNORM.
52
53       N       (input) INTEGER
54               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
55
56       KD      (input) INTEGER
57               The number of subdiagonals or superdiagonals in the  triangular
58               matrix A.  KD >= 0.
59
60       AB      (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDAB,N)
61               The  upper  or  lower  triangular  band matrix A, stored in the
62               first KD+1 rows of the array. The j-th column of A is stored in
63               the  j-th  column  of  the  array AB as follows: if UPLO = 'U',
64               AB(kd+1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-kd)<=i<=j; if UPLO  =  'L',
65               AB(1+i-j,j)    = A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+kd).
66
67       LDAB    (input) INTEGER

70       X       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
71               On  entry,  the right hand side b of the triangular system.  On

77               scaled, and the vector x is an exact or approximate solution to
78               A*x = 0.
79
80       CNORM   (input or output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
81               If  NORMIN  = 'Y', CNORM is an input argument and CNORM(j) con‐
82               tains the norm of the off-diagonal part of the j-th  column  of
83               A.   If  TRANS = 'N', CNORM(j) must be greater than or equal to
84               the infinity-norm, and if TRANS = 'T' or 'C', CNORM(j) must  be
85               greater than or equal to the 1-norm.  If NORMIN = 'N', CNORM is
86               an output argument and CNORM(j) returns the 1-norm of the  off‐
87               diagonal part of the j-th column of A.
88
89       INFO    (output) INTEGER
90               = 0:  successful exit
91               < 0:  if INFO = -k, the k-th argument had an illegal value

FURTHER DETAILS

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