NAME
       ZHERFS

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE ZHERFS (UPLO, N, NRHS, A, LDA, AF, LDAF, IPIV, B, LDB, X,
           LDX, FERR, BERR, WORK, RWORK, INFO)



PURPOSE
            ZHERFS improves the computed solution to a system of linear

                     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.

           NRHS      (input)
                     NRHS is INTEGER
                     The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns

                     The Hermitian 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.

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

           AF        (input)
                     AF is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAF,N)
                     The factored form of the matrix A.  AF contains the block
                     diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used to obtain the
                     factor U or L from the factorization A = U*D*U**H or
                     A = L*D*L**H as computed by ZHETRF.

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

           IPIV      (input)
                     IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N)
                     Details of the interchanges and the block structure of D
                     as determined by ZHETRF.

                     The right hand side matrix B.

                     The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).

           X         (input/output)
                     X is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
                     On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by ZHETRS.
                     On exit, the improved solution matrix X.

           LDX       (input)
                     LDX is INTEGER

           FERR      (output)
                     FERR is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
                     The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector
                     X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).
                     If XTRUE is the true solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j)
                     is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest
                     element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the
                     largest element in X(j).  The estimate is as reliable as
                     the estimate for RCOND, and is almost always a slight
                     overestimate of the true error.

           BERR      (output)
                     BERR is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
                     The componentwise relative backward error of each solution
                     vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in
                     any element of A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).

           WORK      (output)
                     WORK is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (2*N)

           RWORK     (output)
                     RWORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)

           INFO      (output)
                     INFO is INTEGER
                     = 0:  successful exit
                     < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value



       Internal Parameters:


             ITMAX is the maximum number of steps of iterative refinement.
