PURPOSE

     ssptrd reduces a real symmetric matrix A  stored  in  packed
     form  to symmetric tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal simi-
     larity transformation: Q**T * A * Q = T.

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)
               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.   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)*(2*n-j)/2) =
               A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.  On exit, if UPLO =  'U',  the
               diagonal   and   first   superdiagonal  of  A  are
               overwritten by the corresponding elements  of  the
               tridiagonal  matrix  T, and the elements above the
               first superdiagonal, with the array TAU, represent
               the orthogonal matrix Q as a product of elementary
               reflectors; if UPLO = 'L', the diagonal and  first
               subdiagonal   of   A  are  over-  written  by  the
               corresponding elements of the  tridiagonal  matrix
               T,  and  the elements below the first subdiagonal,
               with  the  array  TAU,  represent  the  orthogonal
               matrix  Q  as  a product of elementary reflectors.
               See Further Details.

     D (output)
               Real array, dimension (N) The diagonal elements of
               the tridiagonal matrix T:  D(i) = A(i,i).

     E (output)
               Real array, dimension (N-1) The off-diagonal  ele-
               ments   of  the  tridiagonal  matrix  T:   E(i)  =
               A(i,i+1) if UPLO = 'U', E(i) = A(i+1,i) if UPLO  =
               'L'.

     TAU (output)
               Real array, dimension (N-1) The scalar factors  of
               the elementary reflectors (see Further Details).

     INFO (output)
               = 0:  successful exit
               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an ille-
               gal value

FURTHER DETAILS

     If UPLO = 'U', the matrix Q is represented as a  product  of
     elementary reflectors

        Q = H(n-1) . . . H(2) H(1).

     Each H(i) has the form

        H(i) = I - tau * v * v'

     where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
     v(i+1:n) = 0 and v(i) = 1; v(1:i-1) is stored on exit in AP,
     overwriting A(1:i-1,i+1), and tau is stored in TAU(i).

     If UPLO = 'L', the matrix Q is represented as a  product  of
     elementary reflectors

        Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(n-1).

     Each H(i) has the form

        H(i) = I - tau * v * v'

     where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
     v(1:i) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+2:n) is stored on exit in AP,
     overwriting A(i+2:n,i), and tau is stored in TAU(i).
