PSLAHRD reduces the first NB columns of a real general N-by-(N-K+1) distributed matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-K) so that elements below the k-th subdiagonal are zero. The reduction is performed by an orthogo- nal similarity transformation Q' * A * Q. The routine returns the matrices V and T which determine Q as a block reflector I - V*T*V', and also the matrix Y = A * V * T.

This is an auxiliary routine called by PSGEHRD. In the following comments sub( A ) denotes A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).

The number of rows and columns to be operated on, i.e. the order of the distributed submatrix sub( A ). N >= 0.
The offset for the reduction. Elements below the k-th subdiagonal in the first NB columns are reduced to zero.
The number of columns to be reduced.
the local memory to an array of dimension (LLD_A, LOCc(JA+N-K)). On entry, this array contains the the local pieces of the N-by-(N-K+1) general distributed matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-K). On exit, the elements on and above the k-th subdiagonal in the first NB columns are overwritten with the corresponding elements of the reduced distributed matrix; the elements below the k-th subdiagonal, with the array TAU, represent the matrix Q as a product of elementary reflectors. The other columns of A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-K) are unchanged. See Further Details. IA (global input) INTEGER The row index in the global array A indicating the first row of sub( A ).
The column index in the global array A indicating the first column of sub( A ).
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix A.
The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors (see Further Details). TAU is tied to the distributed matrix A.
The upper triangular matrix T.
to an array of dimension (LLD_Y,NB_A). On exit, this array contains the local pieces of the N-by-NB distributed matrix Y. LLD_Y >= LOCr(IA+N-1).
The row index in the global array Y indicating the first row of sub( Y ).
The column index in the global array Y indicating the first column of sub( Y ).
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix Y.

The matrix Q is represented as a product of nb elementary reflectors


Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(nb).

Each H(i) has the form


H(i) = I - tau * v * v'

where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
v(1:i+k-1) = 0, v(i+k) = 1; v(i+k+1:n) is stored on exit in A(ia+i+k:ia+n-1,ja+i-1), and tau in TAU(ja+i-1).

The elements of the vectors v together form the (n-k+1)-by-nb matrix V which is needed, with T and Y, to apply the transformation to the unreduced part of the matrix, using an update of the form: A(ia:ia+n-1,ja:ja+n-k) := (I-V*T*V')*(A(ia:ia+n-1,ja:ja+n-k)-Y*V').

The contents of A(ia:ia+n-1,ja:ja+n-k) on exit are illustrated by the following example with n = 7, k = 3 and nb = 2:


( a h a a a )
( a h a a a )
( a h a a a )
( h h a a a )
( v1 h a a a )
( v1 v2 a a a )
( v1 v2 a a a )

where a denotes an element of the original matrix
A(ia:ia+n-1,ja:ja+n-k), h denotes a modified element of the upper Hessenberg matrix H, and vi denotes an element of the vector defining H(i).
