PURPOSE

     dsptrf computes the factorization of a real symmetric matrix
     A  stored  in packed format using the Bunch-Kaufman diagonal
     pivoting method:

        A = U*D*U**T  or  A = L*D*L**T

     where U (or L) is a product of permutation  and  unit  upper
     (lower)  triangular  matrices,  and D is symmetric and block
     diagonal with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks.

ARGUMENTS

     UPLO (input)
               = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
               = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

     N (input) The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

     AP (input/output)
               Double precision array, dimension  (N*(N+1)/2)  On
               entry,  the  upper  or  lower triangle of the sym-
               metric matrix A, packed  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)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.

               On exit, the block diagonal matrix D and the  mul-
               tipliers  used to obtain the factor U or L, stored
               as a packed triangular matrix overwriting  A  (see
               below for further details).

     IPIVOT (output)
               Integer array, dimension (N) Details of the inter-
               changes   and   the  block  structure  of  D.   If
               IPIVOT(k)  >  0,  then  rows  and  columns  k  and
               IPIVOT(k) were interchanged and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1
               diagonal block.  If UPLO =  'U'  and  IPIVOT(k)  =
               IPIVOT(k-1)  <  0,  then  rows and columns k-1 and
               -IPIVOT(k) were interchanged and D(k-1:k,k-1:k) is
               a  2-by-2  diagonal  block.   If  UPLO  =  'L' and
               IPIVOT(k) = IPIVOT(k+1) < 0, then rows and columns
               k+1   and   -IPIVOT(k)   were   interchanged   and
               D(k:k+1,k:k+1) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.

     INFO (output)
               = 0: successful exit
               < 0: if INFO  =  -i,  the  i-th  argument  had  an
               illegal value
               > 0: if INFO = i, D(i,i)  is  exactly  zero.   The
               factorization  has  been  completed, but the block
               diagonal matrix D is exactly singular,  and  divi-
               sion  by  zero will occur if it is used to solve a
               system of equations.

     If UPLO = 'U', then A = U*D*U', where
        U = P(n)*U(n)* ... *P(k)U(k)* ...,
     i.e., U is a product of terms P(k)*U(k), where  k  decreases
     from  n  to  1 in steps of 1 or 2, and D is a block diagonal
     matrix with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks D(k).  P(k) is
     a  permutation matrix as defined by IPIVOT(k), and U(k) is a
     unit upper triangular matrix,  such  that  if  the  diagonal
     block D(k) is of order s (s = 1 or 2), then

                (   I    v    0   )   k-s
        U(k) =  (   0    I    0   )   s
                (   0    0    I   )   n-k
                   k-s   s   n-k

     If s = 1, D(k) overwrites A(k,k), and  v  overwrites  A(1:k-
     1,k).   If s = 2, the upper triangle of D(k) overwrites A(k-
     1,k-1), A(k-1,k), and A(k,k), and  v  overwrites  A(1:k-2,k-
     1:k).

     If UPLO = 'L', then A = L*D*L', where
        L = P(1)*L(1)* ... *P(k)*L(k)* ...,
     i.e., L is a product of terms P(k)*L(k), where  k  increases
     from  1  to  n in steps of 1 or 2, and D is a block diagonal
     matrix with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks D(k).  P(k) is
     a  permutation matrix as defined by IPIVOT(k), and L(k) is a
     unit lower triangular matrix,  such  that  if  the  diagonal
     block D(k) is of order s (s = 1 or 2), then

                (   I    0     0   )  k-1
        L(k) =  (   0    I     0   )  s
                (   0    v     I   )  n-k-s+1
                   k-1   s  n-k-s+1

     If  s  =  1,  D(k)  overwrites  A(k,k),  and  v   overwrites
     A(k+1:n,k).  If s = 2, the lower triangle of D(k) overwrites
     A(k,k),  A(k+1,k),  and   A(k+1,k+1),   and   v   overwrites
     A(k+2:n,k:k+1).
