SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE SPFTRI(
TRANSR, UPLO, N, A, INFO )

    
CHARACTER TRANSR, UPLO

    
INTEGER INFO, N

    
REAL A( 0: * )

PURPOSE

SPFTRI computes the inverse of a real (symmetric) positive definite matrix A using the Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T computed by SPFTRF.

ARGUMENTS

TRANSR (input) CHARACTER
= 'N': The Normal TRANSR of RFP A is stored;
= 'T': The Transpose TRANSR of RFP A is stored.
UPLO (input) CHARACTER

= 'U': Upper triangle of A is stored;
= 'L': Lower triangle of A is stored.
N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
A (input/output) REAL array, dimension ( N*(N+1)/2 )
On entry, the symmetric matrix A in RFP format. RFP format is described by TRANSR, UPLO, and N as follows: If TRANSR = 'N'
then RFP A is (0:N,0:k-1) when N is even; k=N/2. RFP A is
(0:N-1,0:k) when N is odd; k=N/2. IF TRANSR = 'T' then RFP is the transpose of RFP A as defined when TRANSR = 'N'. The contents of RFP A are defined by UPLO as follows: If UPLO = 'U' the RFP A contains the nt elements of upper packed A. If UPLO = 'L' the RFP A contains the elements of lower packed A. The LDA of RFP A is (N+1)/2 when TRANSR = 'T'. When TRANSR is 'N' the LDA is N+1 when N is even and N is odd. See the Note below for more details. On exit, the symmetric inverse of the original matrix, in the same storage format.
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
> 0: if INFO = i, the (i,i) element of the factor U or L is zero, and the inverse could not be computed.

FURTHER DETAILS

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

Let TRANSR = 'N'. RFP holds AP as follows:
For UPLO = 'U' 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 = 'L' 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 = 'N'.

      02 12 22                50 51 52
Now let TRANSR = 'T'. RFP A in both UPLO cases is just the transpose of RFP A above. One therefore gets:

Let TRANSR = 'N'. RFP holds AP as follows:
For UPLO = 'U' 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 = 'L' 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 = 'N'.
