NAME

6       SLAHRD  -  reduces  the first NB columns of a real general n-by-(n-k+1)
7       matrix A so that elements below the k-th subdiagonal are zero

SYNOPSIS

10       SUBROUTINE SLAHRD( N, K, NB, A, LDA, TAU, T, LDT, Y, LDY )
11
12           INTEGER        K, LDA, LDT, LDY, N, NB
13
14           REAL           A( LDA, * ), T( LDT, NB ), TAU( NB ), Y( LDY, NB )

PURPOSE

17       SLAHRD reduces the first NB columns  of  a  real  general  n-by-(n-k+1)
18       matrix  A  so  that  elements  below the k-th subdiagonal are zero. The
19       reduction is performed by an orthogonal similarity transformation Q'  *
20       A  * Q. The routine returns the matrices V and T which determine Q as a
21       block reflector I - V*T*V', and also the matrix Y = A * V * T.  This is
22       an OBSOLETE auxiliary routine.
23       This routine will be 'deprecated' in a  future release.
24       Please use the new routine SLAHR2 instead.

ARGUMENTS

27       N       (input) INTEGER
28               The order of the matrix A.
29
30       K       (input) INTEGER
31               The offset for the reduction. Elements below the k-th subdiago‐
32               nal in the first NB columns are reduced to zero.
33
34       NB      (input) INTEGER
35               The number of columns to be reduced.
36
37       A       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N-K+1)
38               On entry, the n-by-(n-k+1) general matrix A.  On exit, the ele‐
39               ments on and above the k-th subdiagonal in the first NB columns
40               are overwritten with the corresponding elements of the  reduced
41               matrix; the elements below the k-th subdiagonal, with the array
42               TAU, represent the matrix Q as a product of elementary  reflec‐
43               tors.  The  other  columns  of  A  are  unchanged.  See Further
44               Details.  LDA     (input) INTEGER The leading dimension of  the
45               array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
46
47       TAU     (output) REAL array, dimension (NB)
48               The  scalar  factors  of the elementary reflectors. See Further
49               Details.
50
51       T       (output) REAL array, dimension (LDT,NB)
52               The upper triangular matrix T.
53
54       LDT     (input) INTEGER
55               The leading dimension of the array T.  LDT >= NB.
56
57       Y       (output) REAL array, dimension (LDY,NB)
58               The n-by-nb matrix Y.
59
60       LDY     (input) INTEGER
61               The leading dimension of the array Y. LDY >= N.
62

FURTHER DETAILS

64       The matrix Q is represented as a product of nb elementary reflectors
65          Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(nb).
66       Each H(i) has the form
67          H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
68       where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
69       v(1:i+k-1)  =  0,  v(i+k)  =  1;  v(i+k+1:n)  is  stored  on  exit   in
70       A(i+k+1:n,i), and tau in TAU(i).
71       The  elements of the vectors v together form the (n-k+1)-by-nb matrix V
72       which is needed, with T and Y, to apply the transformation to the unre‐
73       duced  part  of  the  matrix,  using  an  update of the form: A := (I -
74       V*T*V') * (A - Y*V').
75       The contents of A on exit are illustrated by the following example with
76       n = 7, k = 3 and nb = 2:
77          ( a   h   a   a   a )
78          ( a   h   a   a   a )
79          ( a   h   a   a   a )
80          ( h   h   a   a   a )
81          ( v1  h   a   a   a )
82          ( v1  v2  a   a   a )
83          ( v1  v2  a   a   a )
84       where  a denotes an element of the original matrix A, h denotes a modi‐
85       fied element of the upper Hessenberg matrix H, and vi denotes  an  ele‐
86       ment of the vector defining H(i).
