Description

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

A = U*D*U^{H} or A = L*D*L^{H}

where U (or L ) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower) triangular matrices, U^H 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. Specifies the order of the matrix A. The value of n must be at least zero.

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.
