PURPOSE

ssytrf computes the factorization of a real symmetric matrix A using the Bunch-Kaufman diagonal pivoting method. The form of the factorization is

   A = U*D*U**T  or  A = L*D*L**T

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.

This is the blocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 3 BLAS.


ARGUMENTS


FURTHER DETAILS

If UPLO = 'U', then A = U*D*U', where

   U  = P(n)*U(n)* ... *P(k)U(k)* ...,

i.e., U is a product of terms P(k)*U(k), where k decreases from n to 1 in steps of 1 or 2, and D is a block diagonal matrix with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks D(k). P(k) is a permutation matrix as defined by IPIVOT(k), and U(k) is a unit upper triangular matrix, such that if the diagonal block D(k) is of order s (s = 1 or 2), then

           (   I    v    0   )   k-s
   U(k)  =  (   0    I    0   )   s
           (   0    0    I   )   n-k
              k-s   s   n-k

If s = 1, D(k) overwrites A(k,k), and v overwrites A(1:k-1,k). If s = 2, the upper triangle of D(k) overwrites A(k-1,k-1), A(k-1,k), and A(k,k), and v overwrites A(1:k-2,k-1:k).

If UPLO = 'L', then A = L*D*L', where

   L  = P(1)*L(1)* ... *P(k)*L(k)* ...,

i.e., L is a product of terms P(k)*L(k), where k increases from 1 to n in steps of 1 or 2, and D is a block diagonal matrix with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks D(k). P(k) is a permutation matrix as defined by IPIVOT(k), and L(k) is a unit lower triangular matrix, such that if the diagonal block D(k) is of order s (s = 1 or 2), then

           (   I    0     0   )  k-1
   L(k)  =  (   0    I     0   )  s
           (   0    v     I   )  n-k-s+1
              k-1   s  n-k-s+1

If s = 1, D(k) overwrites A(k,k), and v overwrites A(k+1:n,k). If s = 2, the lower triangle of D(k) overwrites A(k,k), A(k+1,k), and A(k+1,k+1), and v overwrites A(k+2:n,k:k+1).
