PZPBTRF(3) ScaLAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection PZPBTRF(3) NAME PZPBTRF - compute a Cholesky factorization of an N-by-N complex banded symmetric positive definite distributed matrix with bandwidth BW SYNOPSIS SUBROUTINE PZPBTRF( UPLO, N, BW, A, JA, DESCA, AF, LAF, WORK, LWORK, INFO ) CHARACTER UPLO INTEGER BW, INFO, JA, LAF, LWORK, N INTEGER DESCA( * ) COMPLEX*16 A( * ), AF( * ), WORK( * ) PURPOSE PZPBTRF computes a Cholesky factorization of an N-by-N complex banded symmetric positive definite distributed matrix with bandwidth BW: A(1:N, JA:JA+N-1). Reordering is used to increase parallelism in the factorization. This reordering results in factors that are DIFFERENT from those produced by equivalent sequential codes. These factors can- not be used directly by users; however, they can be used in subsequent calls to PZPBTRS to solve linear systems. The factorization has the form P A(1:N, JA:JA+N-1) P^T = U' U , if UPLO = 'U', or P A(1:N, JA:JA+N-1) P^T = L L', if UPLO = 'L' where U is a banded upper triangular matrix and L is banded lower tri- angular, and P is a permutation matrix.
