PURPOSE

24       DTPRFS provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the solu‐
25       tion to a system of linear equations with a triangular  packed  coeffi‐
26       cient matrix.  The solution matrix X must be computed by DTPTRS or some
27       other means before entering this routine.  DTPRFS does not do iterative
28       refinement because doing so cannot improve the backward error.

ARGUMENTS

31       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
32               = 'U':  A is upper triangular;
33               = 'L':  A is lower triangular.
34
35       TRANS   (input) CHARACTER*1
36               Specifies the form of the system of equations:
37               = 'N':  A * X = B  (No transpose)
38               = 'T':  A**T * X = B  (Transpose)
39               = 'C':  A**H * X = B  (Conjugate transpose = Transpose)
40
41       DIAG    (input) CHARACTER*1
42               = 'N':  A is non-unit triangular;
43               = 'U':  A is unit triangular.
44
45       N       (input) INTEGER
46               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
47
48       NRHS    (input) INTEGER
49               The  number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of
50               the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.
51
52       AP      (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
53               The upper or lower triangular matrix A, packed columnwise in  a
54               linear  array.   The j-th column of A is stored in the array AP
55               as follows: if UPLO = 'U',  AP(i  +  (j-1)*j/2)  =  A(i,j)  for
56               1<=i<=j;  if  UPLO  = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for
57               j<=i<=n.  If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements  of  A  are  not
58               referenced and are assumed to be 1.
59
60       B       (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
61               The right hand side matrix B.
62
63       LDB     (input) INTEGER
64               The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).
65
66       X       (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
67               The solution matrix X.
68
69       LDX     (input) INTEGER
70               The leading dimension of the array X.  LDX >= max(1,N).
71
72       FERR    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
73               The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector X(j)
74               (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).  If  XTRUE  is  the
75               true  solution  corresponding  to X(j), FERR(j) is an estimated
76               upper bound for the magnitude of the largest element in (X(j) -
77               XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the largest element in X(j).
78               The estimate is as reliable as the estimate for RCOND,  and  is
79               almost always a slight overestimate of the true error.
80
81       BERR    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
82               The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vec‐
83               tor X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element  of
84               A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).
85
86       WORK    (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (3*N)
87
88       IWORK   (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
89
90       INFO    (output) INTEGER
91               = 0:  successful exit
92               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
