PURPOSE

21       DSPSV computes the solution to a real system of linear equations
22          A * X = B, where A is an N-by-N symmetric matrix  stored  in  packed
23       format and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.
24       The diagonal pivoting method is used to factor A as
25          A = U * D * U**T,  if UPLO = 'U', or
26          A = L * D * L**T,  if UPLO = 'L',
27       where  U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower) tri‐
28       angular matrices, D is symmetric and block  diagonal  with  1-by-1  and
29       2-by-2  diagonal  blocks.  The factored form of A is then used to solve
30       the system of equations A * X = B.

ARGUMENTS

33       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
34               = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
35               = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
36
37       N       (input) INTEGER
38               The number of linear equations, i.e., the order of  the  matrix
39               A.  N >= 0.
40
41       NRHS    (input) INTEGER
42               The  number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of
43               the matrix B.  NRHS >= 0.
44
45       AP      (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
46               On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the  symmetric  matrix
47               A,  packed  columnwise in a linear array.  The j-th column of A
48               is stored in the array AP as follows: if UPLO  =  'U',  AP(i  +
49               (j-1)*j/2)  =  A(i,j)  for  1<=i<=j;  if  UPLO  =  'L',  AP(i +
50               (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.  See  below  for  further
51               details.   On  exit, the block diagonal matrix D and the multi‐
52               pliers used to obtain the factor U or L from the  factorization
53               A = U*D*U**T or A = L*D*L**T as computed by DSPTRF, stored as a
54               packed triangular matrix in the same storage format as A.
55
56       IPIV    (output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
57               Details of the interchanges and the block structure  of  D,  as
58               determined  by DSPTRF.  If IPIV(k) > 0, then rows and columns k
59               and IPIV(k) were interchanged, and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1  diagonal
60               block.   If  UPLO  = 'U' and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k-1) < 0, then rows
61               and  columns   k-1   and   -IPIV(k)   were   interchanged   and
62               D(k-1:k,k-1:k)  is  a 2-by-2 diagonal block.  If UPLO = 'L' and
63               IPIV(k) = IPIV(k+1) < 0, then rows and columns k+1 and -IPIV(k)
64               were  interchanged  and  D(k:k+1,k:k+1)  is  a  2-by-2 diagonal
65               block.
66
67       B       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
68               On entry, the N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B.  On exit,  if
69               INFO = 0, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.
70
71       LDB     (input) INTEGER
72               The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).
73
74       INFO    (output) INTEGER
75               = 0:  successful exit
76               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
77               >  0:   if INFO = i, D(i,i) is exactly zero.  The factorization
78               has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is  exactly
79               singular, so the solution could not be computed.

FURTHER DETAILS

82       The  packed storage scheme is illustrated by the following example when
83       N = 4, UPLO = 'U':
84       Two-dimensional storage of the symmetric matrix A:
85          a11 a12 a13 a14
86              a22 a23 a24
87                  a33 a34     (aij = aji)
88                      a44
89       Packed storage of the upper triangle of A:
90       AP = [ a11, a12, a22, a13, a23, a33, a14, a24, a34, a44 ]
