Description

The routine forms the Cholesky factorization of a symmetric positive-definite or, for complex data, Hermitian positive-definite band matrix A:

A = UT*U for real data, A = UH*U for complex data if uplo='U'
A = L*LT for real data, A = L*LH for complex data if uplo='L'

where L is a lower triangular matrix and U is upper triangular.

NOTE:

This routine supports the Progress Routine feature. See Progress Function for details.

Input Parameters

matrix_layout

Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).

uplo

Must be 'U' or 'L'.

Indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of A is stored in the array ab, and how A is factored:

If uplo = 'U', the upper triangle of A is stored.

If uplo = 'L', the lower triangle of A is stored.

n

The order of matrix A; n 0.

kd

The number of superdiagonals or subdiagonals in the matrix A; kd 0.

ab

Array, size max(1, ldab*n). The array ab contains either the upper or the lower triangular part of the matrix A (as specified by uplo) in band storage (see Matrix Storage Schemes).

ldab

The leading dimension of the array ab. (ldabkd + 1)

Output Parameters

ab

The upper or lower triangular part of A (in band storage) is overwritten by the Cholesky factor U or L, as specified by uplo.

Return Values

This function returns a value info.

If info=0, the execution is successful.

If info = -i, parameter i had an illegal value.

If info = i, the leading minor of order i (and therefore the matrix A itself) is not positive-definite, and the factorization could not be completed. This may indicate an error in forming the matrix A.

Application Notes

If uplo = 'U', the computed factor U is the exact factor of a perturbed matrix A + E, where


Equation

c(n) is a modest linear function of n, and ε is the machine precision.

A similar estimate holds for uplo = 'L'.

The total number of floating-point operations for real flavors is approximately n(kd+1)2. The number of operations for complex flavors is 4 times greater. All these estimates assume that kd is much less than n.

After calling this routine, you can call the following routines:

?pbtrs

to solve A*X = B

?pbcon

to estimate the condition number of A.
