Description

The routine computes the factorization of a complex Hermitian matrix A using the Bunch-Kaufman diagonal pivoting method:

A = U*D*UH or A = L*D*LH

where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower) triangular matrices, UH is the conjugate transpose of U, and D is Hermitian and block diagonal with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks.

This is the unblocked version of the algorithm, calling BLAS Level 2 Routines.

Input Parameters

uplo

CHARACTER*1.

Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the Hermitian matrix A is stored:

= 'U': Upper triangular

= 'L': Lower triangular

n

INTEGER. The order of the matrix A. n 0.

A

COMPLEX for chetf2

DOUBLE COMPLEX for zhetf2.

Array, DIMENSION (lda, n).

On entry, the Hermitian matrix A.

If uplo = 'U', the leading n-by-n upper triangular part of A contains the upper triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not referenced.

If uplo = 'L', the leading n-by-n lower triangular part of A contains the lower triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced.

lda

INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array a. lda max(1,n).

Output Parameters

a

On exit, the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used to obtain the factor U or L.

ipiv

INTEGER. Array, DIMENSION (n).

Details of the interchanges and the block structure of D

If ipiv(k) > 0, then rows and columns k and ipiv(k) were interchanged and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal block.

If uplo = 'U' and ipiv(k) = ipiv( k-1) < 0, then rows and columns k-1 and -ipiv(k) were interchanged and D(k-1:k,k-1:k ) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.

If uplo = 'L' and ipiv(k) = ipiv( k+1) < 0, then rows and columns k+1 and -ipiv(k) were interchanged and D(k:k+1, k:k+1) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.

info

INTEGER.

= 0: successful exit

< 0: if info = -k, the k-th argument had an illegal value

> 0: if info = k, D(k,k) is exactly zero. The factorization has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it is used to solve a system of equations.
