DESCRIPTION

        C <- ALPHA  op(A) B + BETA C     C <- ALPHA D op(A) B + BETA C
        C <- ALPHA op(A) D B + BETA C
      where ALPHA and BETA are scalar, C and B are m by n dense matrices,
      D is a block  diagonal matrix,  A is a unit, or non-unit, upper or
      lower triangular matrix represented in variable block sparse row
      format and  op( A )  is one  of

       op( A ) = inv(A) or  op( A ) = inv(A')  or  op( A ) =inv(conjg( A' ))
       (inv denotes matrix inverse,  ' indicates matrix transpose)

ARGUMENTS

      TRANSA        Indicates how to operate with the sparse matrix
                      0 : operate with matrix
                      1 : operate with transpose matrix
                      2 : operate with the conjugate transpose of matrix.
                          2 is equivalent to 1 if matrix is real.

      MB            Number of block rows in matrix A

      N             Number of columns in matrix C

      UNITD         Type of scaling:
                      1 : Identity matrix (argument DV[] is ignored)
                      2 : Scale on left (row block scaling)
                      3 : Scale on right (column block scaling)

      DV()          Array containing the block entries of the block
                    diagonal matrix D.  The size of the J-th block is
                    RPNTR(J+1)-RPNTR(J) and each block contains matrix
                    entries stored column-major.  The total length of
                    array DV is given by the formula:

                    sum over J from 1 to MB:
                      ((RPNTR(J+1)-RPNTR(J))*(RPNTR(J+1)-RPNTR(J)))

      ALPHA         Scalar parameter

      DESCRA()      Descriptor argument.  Five element integer array

                    DESCRA(1) matrix structure
                      0 : general
                      1 : symmetric (A=A')
                      2 : Hermitian (A= CONJG(A'))
                      3 : Triangular
                      4 : Skew(Anti)-Symmetric (A=-A')
                      5 : Diagonal
                      6 : Skew-Hermitian (A= -CONJG(A'))
                    Note: For the routine, DESCRA(1)=3 is only supported.
                    DESCRA(2) upper/lower triangular indicator
                      1 : lower
                      2 : upper
                    DESCRA(3) main diagonal type
                      0 : non-identity blocks on the main diagonal
                      1 : identity diagonal block
                      2 : diagonal blocks are dense matrices
                    DESCRA(4) Array base  (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
                      0 : C/C++ compatible
                      1 : Fortran compatible
                    DESCRA(5) repeated indices? (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
                      0 : unknown
                      1 : no repeated indices

      VAL()         scalar array of length NNZ consisting of the block entries
                    of A where each block entry is a dense rectangular matrix
                    stored column by column.
                    NNZ is the total number of point entries in all nonzero
                    block  entries of a matrix A.

      INDX()        integer array of length BNNZ+1 where BNNZ is the number
                    block entries of a matrix A such that the I-th element of
                    INDX[] points to the location in VAL of the (1,1) element
                    of the I-th block entry.

      BINDX()       integer array of length BNNZ consisting of the block
                    column indices of the block entries of A where BNNZ is
                    the number block entries of a matrix A.   Block column
                    indices MUST be sorted in increasing order for each block
                    row.

      RPNTR()       integer array of length MB+1 such that RPNTR(I)-RPNTR(1)+1
                    is the row index of the first point row in the I-th block
                    row.
                    RPNTR(MB+1) is set to M+RPNTR(1) where M is the number
                    of rows  in square triangular matrix A.
                    Thus, the number of point rows in the I-th block row is
                    RPNTR(I+1)-RPNTR(I).

                    NOTE:  For the current version CPNTR must equal RPNTR
                    and a single array can be passed for both arguments

      CPNTR()       integer array of length MB+1 such that CPNTR(J)-CPNTR(1)+1
                    is the column index of the first point column in the J-th
                    block column. CPNTR(MB+1) is set to M+CPNTR(1).
                    Thus, the number of point columns in the J-th block column
                    is CPNTR(J+1)-CPNTR(J).

                    NOTE: For the current version CPNTR must equal RPNTR
                    and a single array can be passed for both arguments
      BPNTRB()      integer array of length MB such that BPNTRB(I)-BPNTRB(1)+1
                    points to location in BINDX of the first block entry of
                    the I-th block row of A.

      BPNTRE()      integer array of length MB such that BPNTRE(I)-BPNTRB(1)
                    points to location in BINDX of the last block entry of
                    the I-th block row of A.

      B()           rectangular array with first dimension LDB.

      LDB           leading dimension of B

      BETA          Scalar parameter

      C()           rectangular array with first dimension LDC.

      LDC           leading dimension of C

      WORK()        scratch array of length LWORK.
                    On exit, if LWORK= -1, WORK(1) returns the optimum  size
                    of LWORK.

      LWORK         length of WORK array. LWORK should be at least
                    M = RPNTR(MB+1)-RPNTR(1).

                    For good performance, LWORK should generally be larger.
                    For optimum performance on multiple processors, LWORK
                    >=M*N_CPUS where N_CPUS is the maximum number of
                    processors available to the program.

                    If LWORK=0, the routine is to allocate workspace needed.

                    If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the
                    routine only calculates the optimum size of the WORK
                    array, returns this value as the first entry of the WORK
                    array, and no error message related to LWORK is issued
                    by XERBLA.

NOTES/BUGS
     1. No test for singularity or near-singularity is included
     in this routine. Such tests must be performed before calling
     this routine.

     2. If DESCRA(3)=0,the lower or upper triangular part of each
     diagonal block is used by the routine depending on
     DESCRA(2).

     3. If DESCRA(3)=1, the unit diagonal blocks might or might
     not be referenced in the VBR representation of a sparse
     matrix. They are not used anyway.

     4. If DESCRA(3)=2, diagonal blocks are considered as dense
     matrices and the LU factorization with partial pivoting is
     used by the routine. WORK(1)=0 on return if the
     factorization for all diagonal blocks has been completed
     successfully, otherwise WORK(1) = -i where i is the block
     number for which the LU factorization could not be computed.

     5. The routine can be applied for solving triangular systems
     when the upper or lower triangle of the general sparse
     matrix A is used. Howerver DESCRA(1) must be equal to 3.

     6. It is known that there exists another representation of
     the variable block sparse row format (see for example
     Y.Saad, "Iterative Methods for Sparse Linear Systems", WPS,
     1996). Its data structure consists of six array instead of
     the seven used in the current implementation.  The main
     difference is that only one array, IA, containing the
     pointers to the beginning of each block row in the array
     BINDX is used instead of two arrays BPNTRB and BPNTRE. To
     use the routine with this kind of variable block sparse row
     format the following calling sequence should be used
