       tive definite matrix A, the block version of the algorithm

PURPOSE
       dpftrf computes the Cholesky factorization of a real symmetric positive
       definite matrix A.

       The factorization has the form A=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)
                 TRANSR is CHARACTER*1
                 = 'N':  The Normal TRANSR of RFP A is stored;
                 = 'T':  The Transpose TRANSR of RFP A is stored.


       UPLO (input)
                 UPLO is CHARACTER*1
                 = 'U':  Upper triangle of RFP A is stored;
                 = 'L':  Lower triangle of RFP A is stored.


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


       A (input/output)
                 A is 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 con-
                 tents  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 = 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)
                 INFO is 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  posi-
                 tive  definite, and the factorization could not be completed.


FURTHER NOTES ON RFP FORMAT
       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
       00 01 02 03 04 05       00
          11 12 13 14 15       10 11
             22 23 24 25       20 21 22
                33 34 35       30 31 32 33
                   44 45       40 41 42 43 44
                      55       50 51 52 53 54 55

       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'.
              RFP A                   RFP A

             03 04 05                33 43 53
             13 14 15                00 44 54
             23 24 25                10 11 55
             33 34 35                20 21 22
             00 44 45                30 31 32
             01 11 55                40 41 42
             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:

                RFP A                   RFP A

       03 13 23 33 00 01 02    33 00 10 20 30 40 50 04 14 24 34 44 11 12    43

       We then consider Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) Format when N is odd. We
       give an example where N = 5.

                   44              40 41 42 43 44

       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'.

             22 23 24                20 21 22
             00 33 34                30 31 32
             01 11 44                40 41 42

       Now let TRANSR = 'T'. RFP A in both UPLO cases is just the transpose of
       RFP A above. One therefore gets:

                RFP A                   RFP A
