DPOTRF(3)      LAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection      DPOTRF(3)



NAME
       DPOTRF

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE DPOTRF (UPLO, N, A, LDA, INFO)



PURPOSE
            DPOTRF computes the Cholesky factorization of a real symmetric
            positive definite matrix A.

            The factorization has the form
               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 lower triangular.

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




ARGUMENTS
           UPLO      (input)
                     UPLO is CHARACTER*1
                     = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
                     = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

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

           A         (input/output)
                     A is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
                     On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading
                     N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the upper
                     triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower
                     triangular part of A is not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the
                     leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains the lower
                     triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper
                     triangular part of A is not referenced.

                     On exit, if INFO = 0, the factor U or L from the Cholesky
                     factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T.

           LDA       (input)
                     LDA is INTEGER
                     The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).

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