DPSTRF(3) LAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection DPSTRF(3) NAME DPSTRF SYNOPSIS SUBROUTINE DPSTRF (UPLO, N, A, LDA, PIV, RANK, TOL, WORK, INFO) PURPOSE DPSTRF computes the Cholesky factorization with complete pivoting of a real symmetric positive semidefinite matrix A. The factorization has the form P**T * A * P = U**T * U , if UPLO = 'U', P**T * A * P = L * L**T, if UPLO = 'L', where U is an upper triangular matrix and L is lower triangular, and P is stored as vector PIV. This algorithm does not attempt to check that A is positive semidefinite. This version of the algorithm calls level 3 BLAS. ARGUMENTS UPLO (input) UPLO is 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) 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 as above. LDA (input) LDA is INTEGER The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N). PIV (output) PIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N) PIV is such that the nonzero entries are P( PIV(K), K ) = 1. RANK (output) RANK is INTEGER The rank of A given by the number of steps the algorithm completed. TOL (input) TOL is DOUBLE PRECISION User defined tolerance. If TOL < 0, then N*U*MAX( A(K,K) ) will be used. The algorithm terminates at the (K-1)st step if the pivot <= TOL. WORK (output) WORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (2*N) Work space. INFO (output) INFO is INTEGER < 0: If INFO = -K, the K-th argument had an illegal value, = 0: algorithm completed successfully, and > 0: the matrix A is either rank deficient with computed rank as returned in RANK, or is indefinite.
