PURPOSE
       PZPOSVX uses the Cholesky factorization A = U**H*U or  A  =  L*L**H  to
       compute   the   solution  to  a  complex  system  of  linear  equations
       A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)   *   X   =   B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1),   where
       A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)    is    an    N-by-N    matrix    and   X   and
       B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1) are N-by-NRHS matrices.

       Error bounds on the solution and a condition  estimate  are  also  pro-
       vided.  In the following comments Y denotes Y(IY:IY+M-1,JY:JY+K-1) a M-
       by-K matrix where Y can be A, AF, B and X.


       Notes
       =====

       Each global data object is described by an associated description  vec-
       tor.  This vector stores the information required to establish the map-
       ping between an object element and its corresponding process and memory
       location.

       Let  A  be  a generic term for any 2D block cyclicly distributed array.
       Such a global array has an associated description vector DESCA.  In the
       following  comments,  the  character _ should be read as "of the global
       array".

       NOTATION        STORED IN      EXPLANATION
       --------------- -------------- --------------------------------------
       DTYPE_A(global) DESCA( DTYPE_ )The descriptor type.  In this case,
                                      DTYPE_A = 1.
       CTXT_A (global) DESCA( CTXT_ ) The BLACS context handle, indicating
                                      the BLACS process grid A is distribu-
                                      ted over. The context itself is glo-
                                      bal, but the handle (the integer
                                      value) may vary.
       M_A    (global) DESCA( M_ )    The number of rows in the global
                                      array A.
       N_A    (global) DESCA( N_ )    The number of columns in the global
                                      array A.
       MB_A   (global) DESCA( MB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
                                      the rows of the array.
       NB_A   (global) DESCA( NB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
                                      the columns of the array.
       RSRC_A (global) DESCA( RSRC_ ) The process row over which the first
                                      row  of  the  array  A  is  distributed.
       CSRC_A (global) DESCA( CSRC_ ) The process column over which the
                                      first column of the array A is
                                      distributed.
       LLD_A  (local)  DESCA( LLD_ )  The leading dimension of the local
                                      array.  LLD_A >= MAX(1,LOCr(M_A)).

       Let  K  be  the  number of rows or columns of a distributed matrix, and
       assume that its process grid has dimension p x q.
       LOCr( K ) denotes the number of elements of  K  that  a  process  would
       receive  if K were distributed over the p processes of its process col-
       umn.
       Similarly, LOCc( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process
       would receive if K were distributed over the q processes of its process
       row.
       The values of LOCr() and LOCc() may be determined via  a  call  to  the
       ScaLAPACK tool function, NUMROC:
               LOCr( M ) = NUMROC( M, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ),
               LOCc(  N ) = NUMROC( N, NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ).  An upper
       bound for these quantities may be computed by:
               LOCr( M ) <= ceil( ceil(M/MB_A)/NPROW )*MB_A
               LOCc( N ) <= ceil( ceil(N/NB_A)/NPCOL )*NB_A


DESCRIPTION
       The following steps are performed:

       1. If FACT = 'E', real scaling factors are computed to equilibrate
          the system:
             diag(SR) * A * diag(SC) * inv(diag(SC)) * X = diag(SR) * B
          Whether or not the system will be equilibrated depends on the
          scaling of the matrix A, but if equilibration is used, A is
          overwritten by diag(SR)*A*diag(SC) and B by diag(SR)*B.

       2. If FACT = 'N' or 'E', the Cholesky decomposition is used to
          factor the matrix A (after equilibration if FACT = 'E') as
             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 a lower triangular
          matrix.

       3. The factored form of A is used to estimate the condition number
          of the matrix A.  If the reciprocal of the condition number is
          less than machine precision, steps 4-6 are skipped.

       4. The system of equations is solved for X using the factored form
          of A.

       5. Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution
          matrix and calculate error bounds and backward error estimates
          for it.

       6. If equilibration was used, the matrix X is premultiplied by
          diag(SR) so that it solves the original system before
          equilibration.


ARGUMENTS
       FACT    (global input) CHARACTER
               Specifies whether or not the factored form of the matrix  A  is
               supplied  on  entry, and if not, whether the matrix A should be
               equilibrated before it is factored.  = 'F':  On entry, AF  con-
               tains the factored form of A.  If EQUED = 'Y', the matrix A has
               been equilibrated with scaling factors given by S.   A  and  AF
               will  not  be modified.  = 'N':  The matrix A will be copied to
               AF and factored.
               = 'E':  The matrix A will be equilibrated  if  necessary,  then
               copied to AF and factored.

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

       N       (global input) INTEGER
               The  number  of  rows  and  columns to be operated on, i.e. the
               order of the distributed submatrix  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).   N
               >= 0.

       NRHS    (global input) INTEGER
               The  number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of
               the distributed submatrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

       A       (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer into
               the local memory to  an  array  of  local  dimension  (  LLD_A,
               LOCc(JA+N-1)  ).   On  entry, the Hermitian matrix A, except if
               FACT = 'F' and EQUED = 'Y', then A  must  contain  the  equili-
               brated  matrix diag(SR)*A*diag(SC).  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.  A is not modified if FACT = 'F' or 'N', or if FACT
               = 'E' and EQUED = 'N' on exit.

               On exit, if FACT = 'E' and EQUED = 'Y',  A  is  overwritten  by
               diag(SR)*A*diag(SC).

       IA      (global input) INTEGER
               The row index in the global array A indicating the first row of
               sub( A ).

       JA      (global input) INTEGER
               The column index in the global array  A  indicating  the  first
               column of sub( A ).

       DESCA   (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
               The array descriptor for the distributed matrix A.

       AF      (local input or local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer
               into  the local memory to an array of local dimension ( LLD_AF,
               LOCc(JA+N-1)).  If FACT = 'F', then AF is an input argument and
               on  entry  contains  the  triangular  factor  U  or  L from the
               Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T,  in  the  same
               storage  format  as  A.  If EQUED .ne. 'N', then AF is the fac-
               tored form of the equilibrated matrix diag(SR)*A*diag(SC).

               If FACT = 'N', then AF  is  an  output  argument  and  on  exit
               returns  the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factor-
               ization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T of the original matrix A.

               If FACT = 'E', then AF  is  an  output  argument  and  on  exit
               returns  the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factor-
               ization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T of the equilibrated  matrix  A
               (see  the  description  of  A  for the form of the equilibrated
               matrix).

       IAF     (global input) INTEGER
               The row index in the global array AF indicating the  first  row
               of sub( AF ).

       JAF     (global input) INTEGER
               The  column  index  in the global array AF indicating the first

               Specifies the form of equilibration that was done.  = 'N':   No
               equilibration (always true if FACT = 'N').
               =  'Y':   Equilibration  was done, i.e., A has been replaced by
               diag(SR) * A * diag(SC).  EQUED is an input variable if FACT  =
               'F'; otherwise, it is an output variable.

       SR      (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 array,
               dimension  (LLD_A)  The  scale factors for A distributed across
               process rows; not accessed if EQUED =  'N'.   SR  is  an  input
               variable  if  FACT  = 'F'; otherwise, SR is an output variable.
               If FACT = 'F' and EQUED = 'Y', each element of SR must be posi-
               tive.

       SC      (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 array,
               dimension (LOC(N_A)) The scale factors for A distributed across
               process columns; not accessed if EQUED = 'N'. SC  is  an  input
               variable  if  FACT  = 'F'; otherwise, SC is an output variable.
               If FACT = 'F' and EQUED = 'Y', each element of SC must be posi-
               tive.

       B       (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer into
               the  local  memory  to  an  array  of  local dimension ( LLD_B,
               LOCc(JB+NRHS-1) ).  On entry,  the  N-by-NRHS  right-hand  side
               matrix B.  On exit, if EQUED = 'N', B is not modified; if TRANS
               = 'N' and EQUED = 'R' or 'B', B is overwritten by diag(R)*B; if
               TRANS  = 'T' or 'C' and EQUED = 'C' or 'B', B is overwritten by
               diag(C)*B.

       IB      (global input) INTEGER
               The row index in the global array B indicating the first row of
               sub( B ).

       JB      (global input) INTEGER
               The  column  index  in  the global array B indicating the first
               column of sub( B ).

       DESCB   (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
               The array descriptor for the distributed matrix B.

       X       (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer into
               the local memory to  an  array  of  local  dimension  (  LLD_X,
               LOCc(JX+NRHS-1)  ).  If INFO = 0, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix
               X to the original system of equations.  Note that A and  B  are
               modified  on  exit  if  EQUED .ne. 'N', and the solution to the
               equilibrated system is inv(diag(SC))*X if TRANS = 'N' and EQUED
               = 'C' or or 'B'.

       IX      (global input) INTEGER
               The row index in the global array X indicating the first row of
               sub( X ).

       JX      (global input) INTEGER
               The column index in the global array  X  indicating  the  first
               column of sub( X ).

       DESCX   (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
               The array descriptor for the distributed matrix X.

       RCOND   (global output) DOUBLE PRECISION
               The estimate of the reciprocal condition number of the matrix A
               after equilibration (if done).   If  RCOND  is  less  than  the
               machine  precision (in particular, if RCOND = 0), the matrix is
               singular to working precision.  This condition is indicated  by
               a  return  code  of INFO > 0, and the solution and error bounds
               are not computed.

       FERR    (local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LOC(N_B))
               The estimated forward error bounds  for  each  solution  vector
               X(j)  (the  j-th column of the solution matrix X).  If XTRUE is
               the true solution, FERR(j) bounds the magnitude of the  largest
               entry in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the largest
               entry in X(j).  The quality of the error bound depends  on  the
               quality  of  the estimate of norm(inv(A)) computed in the code;
               if the estimate of norm(inv(A)) is accurate, the error bound is
               guaranteed.

       BERR    (local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LOC(N_B))
               The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vec-
               tor X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any entry of  A
               or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).

       WORK    (local workspace/local output) COMPLEX*16 array,
               dimension  (LWORK)  On  exit,  WORK(1)  returns the minimal and
               optimal LWORK.

       LWORK   (local or global input) INTEGER
               The dimension of the array WORK.  LWORK is local input and must
               be at least LWORK = MAX( PZPOCON( LWORK ), PZPORFS( LWORK ) ) +
               LOCr( N_A ).  LWORK = 3*DESCA( LLD_ )

               If LWORK = -1, then LWORK is global input and a workspace query
               is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum and optimal
               size for all work arrays. Each of these values is  returned  in
               the  first  entry of the corresponding work array, and no error
               message is issued by PXERBLA.

       RWORK   (local workspace/local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array,
               dimension (LRWORK) On exit, RWORK(1) returns  the  minimal  and
               optimal LRWORK.

       LRWORK  (local or global input) INTEGER
               The  dimension  of  the array RWORK.  LRWORK is local input and
               must be at least LRWORK = 2*LOCc(N_A).

               If LRWORK = -1, then LRWORK is global  input  and  a  workspace
               query  is  assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum and
               optimal size for all work  arrays.  Each  of  these  values  is
               returned  in  the  first entry of the corresponding work array,
               and no error message is issued by PXERBLA.

       INFO    (global output) INTEGER
               = 0: successful exit
               < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
               > 0: if INFO = i, and i is
               <= N: if INFO = i, the leading minor of order i  of  A  is  not
               positive definite, so the factorization could not be completed,
               and the solution and error bounds could  not  be  computed.   =
               N+1:  RCOND  is less than machine precision.  The factorization
               has been completed, but the matrix is singular to working  pre-
               cision,  and  the  solution and error bounds have not been com-
               puted.
