Description

spftri dpftri cpftri zpftri

The routine computes the inverse inv(A) of a symmetric positive definite or, for complex data, Hermitian positive-definite matrix A using the Cholesky factorization:

`A = U^{T}U` for real data, `A = U^{H}U` for complex data	if `uplo='U'`
`A = LL^{T}` for real data, `A = LL^{H}` for complex data	if `uplo='L'`

Before calling this routine, call ?pftrf (Computes the Cholesky factorization of a symmetric (Hermitian) positive-definite matrix using the Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) format .) to factorize A .

The matrix A is in the Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) format. For the description of the RFP format, see Matrix Storage Schemes .

Input Parameters

transr

CHARACTER*1 . Must be ‘N’ , ‘T’ (for real data) or ‘C’ (for complex data).

If transr = ‘N’ , the Normal transr of RFP U (if uplo = ‘U’ ) or L (if uplo = ‘L’ ) is stored.

If transr = ‘T’ , the Transpose transr of RFP U (if uplo = ‘U’ ) or L (if uplo = ‘L’ is stored.

If transr = ‘C’ , the Conjugate-Transpose transr of RFP U (if uplo = ‘U’ ) or L (if uplo = ‘L’ is stored.

uplo

CHARACTER*1 . Must be ‘U’ or ‘L’ .

Indicates how the input matrix A has been factored:

If uplo = ‘U’ , A = U^T * U for real data or A = U^H * U for complex data, and U is stored.

If uplo = ‘L’ , A = L * L^T for real data or A = L * L^H for complex data, and L is stored.

n

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

a

REAL for spftri

DOUBLE PRECISION for dpftri

COMPLEX for cpftri

DOUBLE COMPLEX for zpftri .

Array, size (n*(n+1)/2) . The array a contains the factor U or L matrix A in the RFP format.

Output Parameters

a

The symmetric/Hermitian inverse of the original matrix in the same storage format.

info

INTEGER .

If info=0 , the execution is successful.
If info = -i , the i -th parameter had an illegal value.
If info = i , the (i,i) element of the factor U or L is zero, and the inverse could not be computed.

Return Values

No return value, info is an Output Parameter.
