spbtf2(3P)

NAME

spbtf2 - compute the Cholesky factorization of a real symmetric positive definite band matrix A

SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE SPBTF2( UPLO, N, KD, AB, LDAB, INFO )

CHARACTER UPLO

INTEGER INFO, KD, LDAB, N

REAL AB( LDAB, ∗ )

 

#include <sunperf.h>

void spbtf2(char uplo, int n, int kd, float ∗sab, int ldab, int ∗info) ;

PURPOSE

SPBTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization of a real symmetric positive definite band matrix A. 
 
The factorization has the form
   A = U’ ∗ U ,  if UPLO = ’U’, or
   A = L  ∗ L’,  if UPLO = ’L’,
where U is an upper triangular matrix, U’ is the transpose of U, and L is lower triangular.
 
This is the unblocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 2 BLAS.
 

ARGUMENTS

UPLO (input) CHARACTER∗1
Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix A is stored:
= ’U’:  Upper triangular
= ’L’:  Lower triangular

N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

KD (input) INTEGER
The number of super-diagonals of the matrix A if UPLO = ’U’, or the number of sub-diagonals if UPLO = ’L’.  KD >= 0.

AB (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDAB,N)
On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the symmetric band matrix A, stored in the first KD+1 rows of the array.  The j-th column of A is stored in the j-th column of the array AB as follows: if UPLO = ’U’, AB(kd+1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-kd)<=i<=j; if UPLO = ’L’, AB(1+i-j,j)    = A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+kd).
 
On exit, if INFO = 0, the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization A = U’∗U or A = L∗L’ of the band matrix A, in the same storage format as A.

LDAB (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array AB.  LDAB >= KD+1.

INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -k, the k-th argument had an illegal value
> 0: if INFO = k, the leading minor of order k is not positive definite, and the factorization could not be completed.

FURTHER DETAILS

The band storage scheme is illustrated by the following example, when N = 6, KD = 2, and UPLO = ’U’:
 
On entry:                       On exit:
 
    ∗   ∗  a13 a24 a35 a46           ∗   ∗  u13 u24 u35 u46
    ∗  a12 a23 a34 a45 a56           ∗  u12 u23 u34 u45 u56
   a11 a22 a33 a44 a55 a66          u11 u22 u33 u44 u55 u66
 
Similarly, if UPLO = ’L’ the format of A is as follows:
 
On entry:                       On exit:
 
   a11 a22 a33 a44 a55 a66          l11 l22 l33 l44 l55 l66
   a21 a32 a43 a54 a65  ∗           l21 l32 l43 l54 l65  ∗
   a31 a42 a53 a64  ∗   ∗           l31 l42 l53 l64  ∗   ∗
 
Array elements marked ∗ are not used by the routine.
