PURPOSE
       sposvx uses the Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T to com-
       pute the solution to a real system of linear equations
          A  *  X = B, where A is an N-by-N symmetric positive definite matrix
       and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.

       Error bounds on the solution and a condition  estimate  are  also  pro-
       vided.

       The following steps are performed:

       1. If FACT = 'E', real scaling factors are computed to equilibrate
          the system:
             diag(S) * A * diag(S) * inv(diag(S)) * X = diag(S) * B
          Whether or not the system will be equilibrated depends on the
          scaling of the matrix A, but if equilibration is used, A is
          overwritten by diag(S)*A*diag(S) and B by diag(S)*B.

       2. If FACT = 'N' or 'E', the Cholesky decomposition is used to
          factor the matrix A (after equilibration if FACT = 'E') as
             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 a lower triangular
          matrix.

       3. If the leading i-by-i principal minor is not positive definite,
          then the routine returns with INFO = i. Otherwise, the factored
          form of A is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix
          A.  If the reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine
          precision, INFO = N+1 is returned as a warning, but the routine
          still goes on to solve for X and compute error bounds as
          described below.

       4. The system of equations is solved for X using the factored form
          of A.

       5. Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution
          matrix and calculate error bounds and backward error estimates
          for it.

       6. If equilibration was used, the matrix X is premultiplied by
          diag(S) so that it solves the original system before
          equilibration.


ARGUMENTS
       FACT (input)
                 Specifies whether or not the factored form of the matrix A is
                 supplied on entry, and if not, whether the matrix A should be
                 equilibrated  before  it  is  factored.  = 'F':  On entry, AF
                 contains the factored form of A.  If EQUED = 'Y', the  matrix
                 A  has  been equilibrated with scaling factors given by S.  A
                 and AF will not be modified.  = 'N':  The matrix  A  will  be
                 copied to AF and factored.
                 =  'E':  The matrix A will be equilibrated if necessary, then
                 copied to AF and factored.


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


       N (input) The number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix
                 A.  N >= 0.


       NRHS (input)
                 The  number  of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns
                 of the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.


       A (input/output)
                 On entry, the symmetric matrix A, except if FACT  =  'F'  and
                 EQUED  =  'Y',  then  A  must contain the equilibrated matrix
                 diag(S)*A*diag(S).  If UPLO = 'U', the leading  N-by-N  upper
                 triangular  part  of  A contains the upper triangular part of
                 the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of A  is
                 not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower tri-
                 angular part of A contains the lower triangular part  of  the
                 matrix  A, and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not
                 referenced.  A is not modified if FACT = 'F' or  'N',  or  if
                 FACT = 'E' and EQUED = 'N' on exit.

                 On  exit,  if FACT = 'E' and EQUED = 'Y', A is overwritten by
                 diag(S)*A*diag(S).


       LDA (input)
                 The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).


       AF (input or output)
                 If FACT = 'F', then AF is an input argument and on entry con-
                 tains  the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factor-
                 ization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T, in the same storage  format
                 as A.  If EQUED .ne. 'N', then AF is the factored form of the
                 equilibrated matrix diag(S)*A*diag(S).

                 If FACT = 'N', then AF is an  output  argument  and  on  exit
                 returns  the  triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky fac-
                 torization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T of the original matrix A.

                 If  FACT  =  'E',  then  AF is an output argument and on exit
                 returns the triangular factor U or L from the  Cholesky  fac-
                 torization  A  =  U**T*U  or  A  = L*L**T of the equilibrated
                 matrix A (see the description of A for the form of the  equi-
                 librated matrix).


       LDAF (input)
                 The leading dimension of the array AF.  LDAF >= max(1,N).


       EQUED (input or output)
                 Specifies  the  form  of equilibration that was done.  = 'N':
                 No equilibration (always true if FACT = 'N').
                 = 'Y':  Equilibration was done, i.e., A has been replaced  by
                 diag(S)  * A * diag(S).  EQUED is an input argument if FACT =
                 'F'; otherwise, it is an output argument.


       S (input or output)
                 The scale factors for A; not accessed if EQUED = 'N'.   S  is
                 an  input  argument  if FACT = 'F'; otherwise, S is an output
                 argument.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED = 'Y', each element  of  S
                 must be positive.


       B (input/output)
                 On  entry,  the N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B.  On exit,
                 if EQUED = 'N', B is not modified; if EQUED = 'Y', B is over-
                 written by diag(S) * B.


       LDB (input)
                 The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).


       X (output)
                 If INFO = 0 or INFO = N+1, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X to
                 the original system of equations.  Note that if EQUED =  'Y',
                 A and B are modified on exit, and the solution to the equili-
                 brated system is inv(diag(S))*X.


       LDX (input)
                 The leading dimension of the array X.  LDX >= max(1,N).


       RCOND (output)
                 The estimate of the reciprocal condition number of the matrix
                 A  after  equilibration (if done).  If RCOND is less than the
                 machine precision (in particular, if RCOND = 0),  the  matrix
                 is  singular  to  working precision.  This condition is indi-
                 cated by a return code of INFO > 0.


       FERR (output)
                 The estimated forward error bound for  each  solution  vector
                 X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).  If XTRUE is
                 the true solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j) is an  esti-
                 mated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest element in
                 (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the  largest  ele-
                 ment  in  X(j).   The estimate is as reliable as the estimate
                 for RCOND, and is almost always a slight overestimate of  the
                 true error.


       BERR (output)
                 The  componentwise  relative  backward error of each solution
                 vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in  any  ele-
                 ment of A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).


       WORK (workspace)
                 dimension(3*N)

       WORK2 (workspace)
                 dimension(N)

       INFO (output)
                 = 0: successful exit
                 < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
                 > 0: if INFO = i, and i is
                 <= N:  the leading minor of order i of A is not positive def-
                 inite, so the factorization could not be completed,  and  the
                 solution  has  not  been  computed. RCOND = 0 is returned.  =
                 N+1: U is nonsingular, but RCOND is less than machine  preci-
                 sion,  meaning  that the matrix is singular to working preci-
                 sion.  Nevertheless, the solution and error bounds  are  com-
                 puted because there are a number of situations where the com-
                 puted solution can be more accurate than the value  of  RCOND
                 would suggest.
