SYNOPSIS
- SUBROUTINE DPFTRF(
- TRANSR, UPLO, N, A, INFO )
- CHARACTER TRANSR, UPLO
- INTEGER N, INFO
- DOUBLE PRECISION A( 0: * )
PURPOSE
DPFTRF computes the Cholesky factorization of a real symmetric positive definite matrix A. The factorization has the formA = U**T * U, if UPLO = 'U', or
A = L * L**T, if UPLO = 'L',
where U is an upper triangular matrix and L is lower triangular. This is the block version of the algorithm, calling Level 3 BLAS.
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 RFP A is stored;
= 'L': Lower triangle of RFP A is stored. - N (input) INTEGER
- The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
- A (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION 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, if INFO = 0, the factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization RFP A = U**T*U or RFP A = L*L**T. - INFO (output) INTEGER
-
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
> 0: if INFO = i, the leading minor of order i is not positive definite, and the factorization could not be completed.
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

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'.

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'.
