SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE STPTRI(

UPLO, DIAG, N, AP, INFO )

    

CHARACTER DIAG, UPLO

    

INTEGER INFO, N

    

REAL AP( * )

PURPOSE

STPTRI computes the inverse of a real upper or lower triangular matrix A stored in packed format.

ARGUMENTS

UPLO (input) CHARACTER*1

= 'U': A is upper triangular;
= 'L': A is lower triangular.

DIAG (input) CHARACTER*1

= 'N': A is non-unit triangular;
= 'U': A is unit triangular.

N (input) INTEGER

The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.

AP (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)

On entry, the upper or lower triangular matrix A, stored columnwise in a linear array. The j-th column of A is stored in the array AP as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*((2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n. See below for further details. On exit, the (triangular) inverse of the original matrix, in the same packed storage format.

INFO (output) INTEGER

= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
> 0: if INFO = i, A(i,i) is exactly zero. The triangular matrix is singular and its inverse can not be computed.

FURTHER DETAILS

A triangular matrix A can be transferred to packed storage using one of the following program segments:
UPLO = 'U': UPLO = 'L':
