PURPOSE

dppsvx uses the Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T to compute 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 provided.

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.

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 ]
