PURPOSE

20       DSPSV computes the solution to a real system of linear equations
21          A  *  X  = B, where A is an N-by-N symmetric matrix stored in packed
22       format and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.
23
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

34       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
35               = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
36               = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
37
38       N       (input) INTEGER
39               The  number  of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix
40               A.  N >= 0.
41
42       NRHS    (input) INTEGER
43               The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns  of
44               the matrix B.  NRHS >= 0.
45
46       AP      (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
47               On  entry,  the upper or lower triangle of the symmetric matrix
48               A, packed columnwise in a linear array.  The j-th column  of  A
49               is  stored  in  the  array AP as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i +
50               (j-1)*j/2) =  A(i,j)  for  1<=i<=j;  if  UPLO  =  'L',  AP(i  +
51               (j-1)*(2n-j)/2)  =  A(i,j)  for j<=i<=n.  See below for further
52               details.
53
54               On exit, the block diagonal matrix D and the  multipliers  used
55               to obtain the factor U or L from the factorization A = U*D*U**T
56               or A = L*D*L**T as computed by DSPTRF, stored as a packed  tri‐
57               angular matrix in the same storage format as A.
58
59       IPIV    (output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
60               Details  of  the  interchanges and the block structure of D, as
61               determined by DSPTRF.  If IPIV(k) > 0, then rows and columns  k
62               and  IPIV(k) were interchanged, and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal
63               block.  If UPLO = 'U' and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k-1) <  0,  then  rows
64               and   columns   k-1   and   -IPIV(k)   were   interchanged  and
65               D(k-1:k,k-1:k) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.  If UPLO =  'L'  and
66               IPIV(k) = IPIV(k+1) < 0, then rows and columns k+1 and -IPIV(k)
67               were interchanged  and  D(k:k+1,k:k+1)  is  a  2-by-2  diagonal
68               block.
69
70       B       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
71               On  entry, the N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B.  On exit, if
72               INFO = 0, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.
73
74       LDB     (input) INTEGER
75               The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).
76
77       INFO    (output) INTEGER
78               = 0:  successful exit
79               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
80               > 0:  if INFO = i, D(i,i) is exactly zero.   The  factorization
81               has  been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is exactly
82               singular, so the solution could not be computed.

FURTHER DETAILS

85       The packed storage scheme is illustrated by the following example  when
86       N = 4, UPLO = 'U':
87
88       Two-dimensional storage of the symmetric matrix A:
89
90          a11 a12 a13 a14
91              a22 a23 a24
92                  a33 a34     (aij = aji)
93                      a44
94
95       Packed storage of the upper triangle of A:
96
97       AP = [ a11, a12, a22, a13, a23, a33, a14, a24, a34, a44 ]
