NAME

CHPTRD - reduces a complex Hermitian matrix A stored in packed form to real symmetric tridiagonal form T by a unitary similarity transformation

SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE CHPTRD(: UPLO, N, AP, D, E, TAU, INFO )
: CHARACTER UPLO
: INTEGER INFO, N
: REAL D( * ), E( * )
: COMPLEX AP( * ), TAU( * )

PURPOSE

CHPTRD reduces a complex Hermitian matrix A stored in packed form to real symmetric tridiagonal form T by a unitary similarity transformation: Q**H * A * Q = T.

ARGUMENTS

UPLO (input) CHARACTER*1: = aqUaq: Upper triangle of A is stored;
= aqLaq: Lower triangle of A is stored.
N (input) INTEGER: The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
AP (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2): On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the Hermitian matrix A, packed columnwise in a linear array. The j-th column of A is stored in the array AP as follows: if UPLO = aqUaq, AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = aqLaq, AP(i + (j-1)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n. On exit, if UPLO = aqUaq, the diagonal and first superdiagonal of A are overwritten by the corresponding elements of the tridiagonal matrix T, and the elements above the first superdiagonal, with the array TAU, represent the unitary matrix Q as a product of elementary reflectors; if UPLO = aqLaq, the diagonal and first subdiagonal of A are over- written by the corresponding elements of the tridiagonal matrix T, and the elements below the first subdiagonal, with the array TAU, represent the unitary matrix Q as a product of elementary reflectors. See Further Details. D (output) REAL array, dimension (N) The diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T: D(i) = A(i,i).
E (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1): The off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T: E(i) = A(i,i+1) if UPLO = aqUaq, E(i) = A(i+1,i) if UPLO = aqLaq.
TAU (output) COMPLEX array, dimension (N-1): The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors (see Further Details).
INFO (output) INTEGER: = 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value

FURTHER DETAILS

If UPLO = aqUaq, the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors

Q = H(n-1) . . . H(2) H(1).
Each H(i) has the form

H(i) = I - tau * v * vaq
where tau is a complex scalar, and v is a complex vector with v(i+1:n) = 0 and v(i) = 1; v(1:i-1) is stored on exit in AP, overwriting A(1:i-1,i+1), and tau is stored in TAU(i).
If UPLO = aqLaq, the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors

Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(n-1).
Each H(i) has the form

H(i) = I - tau * v * vaq
where tau is a complex scalar, and v is a complex vector with v(1:i) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+2:n) is stored on exit in AP, overwriting A(i+2:n,i), and tau is stored in TAU(i).
