NAME

DPFTRS - solves a system of linear equations A*X = B with a symmetric positive definite matrix A using the Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T computed by DPFTRF

SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE DPFTRS(: TRANSR, UPLO, N, NRHS, A, B, LDB, INFO )
: CHARACTER TRANSR, UPLO
: INTEGER INFO, LDB, N, NRHS
: DOUBLE PRECISION A( 0: * ), B( LDB, * )

PURPOSE

DPFTRS solves a system of linear equations A*X = B with a symmetric positive definite matrix A using the Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T computed by DPFTRF.

ARGUMENTS

TRANSR (input) CHARACTER: = aqNaq: The Normal TRANSR of RFP A is stored;
= aqTaq: The Transpose TRANSR of RFP A is stored.
UPLO (input) CHARACTER: = aqUaq: Upper triangle of RFP A is stored;
= aqLaq: Lower triangle of RFP A is stored.
N (input) INTEGER: The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
NRHS (input) INTEGER: The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix B. NRHS >= 0.
A (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension ( N*(N+1)/2 ).: The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization of RFP A = U**T*U or RFP A = L*L**T, as computed by DPFTRF. See note below for more details about RFP A.
B (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,NRHS): On entry, the right hand side matrix B. On exit, the solution matrix X.
LDB (input) INTEGER: The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,N).
INFO (output) INTEGER: = 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value

FURTHER DETAILS

We first consider Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) Format when N is even. We give an example where N = 6.

AP is Upper             AP is Lower

          55       50 51 52 53 54 55
Let TRANSR = aqNaq. RFP holds AP as follows:
For UPLO = aqUaq the upper trapezoid A(0:5,0:2) consists of the last three columns of AP upper. The lower triangle A(4:6,0:2) consists of the transpose of the first three columns of AP upper.
For UPLO = aqLaq the lower trapezoid A(1:6,0:2) consists of the first three columns of AP lower. The upper triangle A(0:2,0:2) consists of the transpose of the last three columns of AP lower.
This covers the case N even and TRANSR = aqNaq.

02 12 22                50 51 52
Now let TRANSR = aqTaq. RFP A in both UPLO cases is just the transpose of RFP A above. One therefore gets:

Let TRANSR = aqNaq. RFP holds AP as follows:
For UPLO = aqUaq the upper trapezoid A(0:4,0:2) consists of the last three columns of AP upper. The lower triangle A(3:4,0:1) consists of the transpose of the first two columns of AP upper.
For UPLO = aqLaq the lower trapezoid A(0:4,0:2) consists of the first three columns of AP lower. The upper triangle A(0:1,1:2) consists of the transpose of the last two columns of AP lower.
This covers the case N odd and TRANSR = aqNaq.
