DESCRIPTION

      sbscsm performs one of the matrix-matrix operations

        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 scalars, C and B are mb*lb by n dense matrices,
      D is a block  diagonal matrix,  A is a sparse mb*lb by mb*lb unit, or
      non-unit, upper or lower triangular matrix represented in the block
      sparse column 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(input)   On entry, integer TRANSA specifies the form of op(A) to be
                      used in the sparse matrix inverse as follows:.
                        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.

                      Unchanged on exit.

      ALPHA(input)    On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.
                      Unchanged on exit.
      DESCRA (input)  Descriptor argument.  Five element integer array:
                      DESCRA(1) matrix structure
                        0 : general

                      Note: For the routine, DESCRA(1)=3 is only supported.

      VAL(input)      On entry, VAL is a scalar array of length LB*LB*BNNZ
                      consisting of the non-zero block entries stored
                      column-major within each dense block where
                      BNNZ = BPNTRE(MB)-BPNTRB(1). Unchanged on exit.

      BINDX(input)    On entry, BINDX is an integer array of length BNNZ consisting
                      of the block row indices of the block entries of A where
                      BNNZ = BPNTRE(MB)-BPNTRB(1). The block row indices MUST
                      be sorted in increasing order for each block column.
                      Unchanged on exit.

      BPNTRB(input)   On entry,BPNTRB is an integer array of length MB such
                      that BPNTRB(J)-BPNTRB(1)+1 points to location in BINDX
                      of the first block entry of the J-th block column
                      of A. Unchanged on exit.

      BPNTRE(input)   On entry, BPNTRE is an integer array of length MB such
                      that BPNTRE(J)-BPNTRB(1) points to location in BINDX
                      of the last block entry of the J-th block column
                      of A. Unchanged on exit.

      LB (input)      On entry, LB specifies the dimension of dense blocks
                      composing A.  Unchanged on exit.

      B (input)       Array of DIMENSION ( LDB, N ).
                      On entry, the leading mb*lb by n part of the array B
                      must contain the matrix B. Unchanged on exit.
      LDB (input)     On entry, LDB specifies the first dimension of B as declared
                      in the calling (sub) program. Unchanged on exit.

      BETA (input)    On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta. Unchanged on exit.

      C(input/output) Array of DIMENSION ( LDC, N ).
                      On entry, the leading mb*lb by n part of the array C
                      must contain the matrix C. On exit, the array C is
                      overwritten.

      LDC (input)     On entry, LDC specifies the first dimension of C as declared
                      in the calling (sub) program. Unchanged on exit.

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

      LWORK (input)   On entry, LWORK specifies the length of WORK array. LWORK
                      should be at least MB*LB.

                      For good performance, LWORK should generally be larger.
                      For optimum performance on multiple processors, LWORK
                      >=MB*LB*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.

SEE ALSO

      Libsunperf SPARSE BLAS is parallelized with the help of OPENMP and it is
      fully  compatible with NIST FORTRAN Sparse Blas but the sources are different.
      Libsunperf SPARSE BLAS is free of bugs found in NIST FORTRAN Sparse Blas.
      Besides several new features and routines are implemented.

      NIST FORTRAN Sparse Blas User's Guide available at:

      http://math.nist.gov/mcsd/Staff/KRemington/fspblas/

      Based on the standard proposed in

      "Document for the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS)
       Standard", University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee, 1996:

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 diagonal blocks in the block sparse
     colum representation of A  don't need to be the identity
     matrices because these block entries are not used by the
     routine in this case.

     4. If DESCRA(3)=2 , the 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 is designed so that it checks the validity of
     each sparse block entry given in the sparse blas
     representation. Block entries with incorrect indices are not
     used and no error message related to the entries is issued.

     The feature also provides a possibility to use the sparse
     matrix representation of a general matrix A for solving
     triangular systems with the upper or lower block triangle of
     A.  But DESCRA(1) MUST be equal to 3 even in this case.

     Assume that there is the sparse matrix representation a
     general matrix A decomposed in the form

                          A = L + D + U

     where L is the strictly block lower triangle of A, U is the
     strictly block upper triangle of A, D is the block diagonal
     matrix. Let's I denotes  the identity matrix.

     Then the correspondence between the first three values of
     DESCRA and the result matrix for the sparse representation
     of A is

       DESCRA(1)  DESCRA(2)   DESCRA(3)     RESULT

          3          1           1      alpha*op(L+I)*B+beta*C

          3          1           0      alpha*op(L+D)*B+beta*C

          3          2           1      alpha*op(U+I)*B+beta*C
          3          2           0      alpha*op(U+D)*B+beta*C

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

       CALL SBSCSM( TRANSA, MB, N, UNITD, DV, ALPHA, DESCRA,
      *           VAL, BINDX, IA, IA(2), LB,
      *           B, LDB, BETA, C, LDC, WORK, LWORK )
