PURPOSE

dspsvx uses the diagonal pivoting factorization A = U*D*U**T or A = L*D*L**T to compute the solution to a real system of linear equations A * X = B, where A is an N-by-N symmetric 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 = 'N', the diagonal pivoting method is used to factor A as A = U * D * U**T, if UPLO = 'U', or

      A = L * D * L**T,  if UPLO = 'L',
   where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)
   triangular matrices and D is symmetric and block diagonal with
   1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks.

2. If some D(i,i)=0, so that D is exactly singular, 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.

3. The system of equations is solved for X using the factored form of A.

4. Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.


ARGUMENTS


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  = aji)
               a44

Packed storage of the upper triangle of A:

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