PURPOSE
       sppsvx 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
       stored in packed format 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) REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
                 On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the symmetric matrix
                 A, packed columnwise in a linear array, except if FACT =  'F'
                 and  EQUED = 'Y', then A must contain the equilibrated matrix
                 diag(S)*A*diag(S).  The j-th column of A  is  stored  in  the
                 array  A as follows: if UPLO = 'U', A(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j)
                 for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', A(i +  (j-1)*(2n-j)/2)  =  A(i,j)
                 for  j<=i<=n.  See below for further details.  A is not modi-
                 fied 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).


       AF (input or output) REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
                 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'*U or A = L*L', in the same storage  format  as
                 A.   If  EQUED  .ne. 'N', then AF is the factored form of the
                 equilibrated matrix A.

                 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'*U or A = L*L' 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'*U or A = L*L' of the equilibrated matrix  A
                 (see  the  description  of A for the form of the equilibrated
                 matrix).


       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) REAL array, dimension (N)
                 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) REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
                 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) REAL array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
                 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) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
                 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) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
                 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)
                 REAL array, dimension (3*N)

       WORK2 (workspace)
                 INTEGER array, 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.

FURTHER DETAILS
       The packed storage scheme is illustrated by the following example  when
       N = 4, UPLO = 'U':

       Two-dimensional storage of the symmetric matrix A:

          a11 a12 a13 a14
              a22 a23 a24
                  a33 a34     (aij = conjg(aji))
                      a44

       Packed storage of the upper triangle of A:

       A = [ a11, a12, a22, a13, a23, a33, a14, a24, a34, a44 ]
