PURPOSE

24       ZLATRS  solves  one  of  the triangular systems with scaling to prevent
25       overflow.  Here A is an upper or lower triangular matrix, A**T  denotes
26       the  transpose of A, A**H denotes the conjugate transpose of A, x and b
27       are n-element vectors, and s is a scaling factor, usually less than  or
28       equal  to  1,  chosen so that the components of x will be less than the
29       overflow threshold.  If the unscaled problem will not  cause  overflow,
30       the  Level  2 BLAS routine ZTRSV is called. If the matrix A is singular
31       (A(j,j) = 0 for some j), then s is set to 0 and a non-trivial  solution
32       to A*x = 0 is returned.

ARGUMENTS

35       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
36               Specifies whether the matrix A is upper or lower triangular.  =
37               'U':  Upper triangular
38               = 'L':  Lower triangular
39
40       TRANS   (input) CHARACTER*1
41               Specifies the operation applied to A.  = 'N':  Solve A  *  x  =
42               s*b     (No transpose)
43               = 'T':  Solve A**T * x = s*b  (Transpose)
44               = 'C':  Solve A**H * x = s*b  (Conjugate transpose)
45
46       DIAG    (input) CHARACTER*1
47               Specifies  whether  or  not the matrix A is unit triangular.  =
48               'N':  Non-unit triangular
49               = 'U':  Unit triangular
50
51       NORMIN  (input) CHARACTER*1
52               Specifies whether CNORM has been set or  not.   =  'Y':   CNORM
53               contains the column norms on entry
54               =  'N':  CNORM is not set on entry.  On exit, the norms will be
55               computed and stored in CNORM.
56
57       N       (input) INTEGER
58               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
59
60       A       (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDA,N)
61               The triangular matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the  leading  n  by  n
62               upper  triangular part of the array A contains the upper trian‐
63               gular matrix, and the strictly lower triangular part  of  A  is
64               not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading n by n lower trian‐
65               gular part of the array A contains the lower triangular matrix,
66               and  the strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced.
67               If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are also  not  refer‐
68               enced and are assumed to be 1.
69
70       LDA     (input) INTEGER
71               The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max (1,N).
72
73       X       (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N)
74               On  entry,  the right hand side b of the triangular system.  On
75               exit, X is overwritten by the solution vector x.
76
77       SCALE   (output) DOUBLE PRECISION
78               The scaling factor s for the triangular system A  *  x  =  s*b,
79               A**T  * x = s*b,  or  A**H * x = s*b.  If SCALE = 0, the matrix
80               A is singular or badly scaled, and the vector x is an exact  or
81               approximate solution to A*x = 0.
82
83       CNORM   (input or output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
84               If  NORMIN  = 'Y', CNORM is an input argument and CNORM(j) con‐
85               tains the norm of the off-diagonal part of the j-th  column  of
86               A.   If  TRANS = 'N', CNORM(j) must be greater than or equal to
87               the infinity-norm, and if TRANS = 'T' or 'C', CNORM(j) must  be
88               greater than or equal to the 1-norm.  If NORMIN = 'N', CNORM is
89               an output argument and CNORM(j) returns the 1-norm of the  off‐
90               diagonal part of the j-th column of A.
91
92       INFO    (output) INTEGER
93               = 0:  successful exit
94               < 0:  if INFO = -k, the k-th argument had an illegal value

FURTHER DETAILS

97       A rough bound on x is computed; if that is less than overflow, ZTRSV is
98       called, otherwise, specific code is  used  which  checks  for  possible
99       overflow or divide-by-zero at every operation.
100       A  columnwise  scheme is used for solving A*x = b.  The basic algorithm
101       if A is lower triangular is
102            x[1:n] := b[1:n]
103            for j = 1, ..., n
104                 x(j) := x(j) / A(j,j)
105                 x[j+1:n] := x[j+1:n] - x(j) * A[j+1:n,j]
106            end
107       Define bounds on the components of x after j iterations of the loop:
108          M(j) = bound on x[1:j]
109          G(j) = bound on x[j+1:n]
110       Initially, let M(0) = 0 and G(0) = max{x(i), i=1,...,n}.
111       Then for iteration j+1 we have
112          M(j+1) <= G(j) / | A(j+1,j+1) |
113          G(j+1) <= G(j) + M(j+1) * | A[j+2:n,j+1] |
114                 <= G(j) ( 1 + CNORM(j+1) / | A(j+1,j+1) | )
115       where CNORM(j+1) is greater than or equal to the infinity-norm of  col‐
116       umn j+1 of A, not counting the diagonal.  Hence
117          G(j) <= G(0) product ( 1 + CNORM(i) / | A(i,i) | )
118                       1<=i<=j
119       and
120          |x(j)| <= ( G(0) / |A(j,j)| ) product ( 1 + CNORM(i) / |A(i,i)| )
121                                        1<=i< j
122       Since  |x(j)|  <=  M(j),  we  use the Level 2 BLAS routine ZTRSV if the
123       reciprocal of the largest M(j), j=1,..,n, is larger than
124       max(underflow, 1/overflow).
125       The bound on x(j) is also used to determine when a step in the  column‐
126       wise method can be performed without fear of overflow.  If the computed
127       bound is greater than a large constant, x is scaled  to  prevent  over‐
128       flow,  but  if the bound overflows, x is set to 0, x(j) to 1, and scale
129       to 0, and a non-trivial solution to A*x = 0  is  found.   Similarly,  a
130       row-wise  scheme  is  used  to  solve A**T *x = b  or A**H *x = b.  The
131       basic algorithm for A upper triangular is
132            for j = 1, ..., n
133                 x(j) := ( b(j) - A[1:j-1,j]' * x[1:j-1] ) / A(j,j)
134            end
135       We simultaneously compute two bounds
136            G(j) = bound on ( b(i) - A[1:i-1,i]' * x[1:i-1] ), 1<=i<=j
137            M(j) = bound on x(i), 1<=i<=j
138       The initial values are G(0) = 0, M(0) = max{b(i), i=1,..,n}, and we add
139       the  constraint G(j) >= G(j-1) and M(j) >= M(j-1) for j >= 1.  Then the
140       bound on x(j) is
141            M(j) <= M(j-1) * ( 1 + CNORM(j) ) / | A(j,j) |
142                 <= M(0) * product ( ( 1 + CNORM(i) ) / |A(i,i)| )
143                           1<=i<=j
144       and we can safely call ZTRSV if 1/M(n) and 1/G(n) are both greater than
145       max(underflow, 1/overflow).
