24 STPRFS 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.
27 The solution matrix X must be computed by STPTRS or some other means
29 before entering this routine. STPRFS does not do iterative refinement
30 because doing so cannot improve the backward error.

34 UPLO (input) CHARACTER*1
35 = 'U': A is upper triangular;
36 = 'L': A is lower triangular.
37 TRANS (input) CHARACTER*1
39 Specifies the form of the system of equations:
40 = 'N': A * X = B (No transpose)
41 = 'T': A**T * X = B (Transpose)
42 = 'C': A**H * X = B (Conjugate transpose = Transpose)
43 DIAG (input) CHARACTER*1
45 = 'N': A is non-unit triangular;
46 = 'U': A is unit triangular.
47 N (input) INTEGER
49 The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
50 NRHS (input) INTEGER
52 The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of
53 the matrices B and X. NRHS >= 0.
54 AP (input) REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
56 The upper or lower triangular matrix A, packed columnwise in a
57 linear array. The j-th column of A is stored in the array AP
58 as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for
59 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for
60 j<=i<=n. If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are not
61 referenced and are assumed to be 1.
62 B (input) REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
64 The right hand side matrix B.
65 LDB (input) INTEGER
67 The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,N).
68 X (input) REAL array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
70 The solution matrix X.
71 LDX (input) INTEGER
73 The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >= max(1,N).
74 FERR (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
76 The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector X(j)
77 (the j-th column of the solution matrix X). If XTRUE is the
78 true solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j) is an estimated
79 upper bound for the magnitude of the largest element in (X(j) -
80 XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the largest element in X(j).
81 The estimate is as reliable as the estimate for RCOND, and is
82 almost always a slight overestimate of the true error.
83 BERR (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
85 The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vec‐
86 tor X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element of
87 A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).
88 WORK (workspace) REAL array, dimension (3*N)
90 IWORK (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
92 INFO (output) INTEGER
94 = 0: successful exit
95 < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
