       CPORFSX

       Purpose:

               CPORFSX improves the computed solution to a system of linear
               equations when the coefficient matrix is Hermitian positive
               definite, and provides error bounds and backward error estimates
               for the solution.  In addition to normwise error bound, the code
               provides maximum componentwise error bound if possible.  See
               comments for ERR_BNDS_NORM and ERR_BNDS_COMP for details of the
               error bounds.

               The original system of linear equations may have been equilibrated
               before calling this routine, as described by arguments EQUED and S
               below. In this case, the solution and error bounds returned are
               for the original unequilibrated system.

                Some optional parameters are bundled in the PARAMS array.  These
                settings determine how refinement is performed, but often the
                defaults are acceptable.  If the defaults are acceptable, users
                can pass NPARAMS = 0 which prevents the source code from accessing
                the PARAMS argument.

       Parameters
           UPLO

                     UPLO is CHARACTER*1
                  = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
                  = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

           EQUED

                     EQUED is CHARACTER*1
                Specifies the form of equilibration that was done to A
                before calling this routine. This is needed to compute
                the solution and error bounds correctly.
                  = 'N':  No equilibration
                  = 'Y':  Both row and column equilibration, i.e., A has been
                          replaced by diag(S) * A * diag(S).
                          The right hand side B has been changed accordingly.

           N

                     N is INTEGER
                The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

           NRHS

                     NRHS is INTEGER
                The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns
                of the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

           A

                     A is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
                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

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

           AF

                     AF is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDAF,N)
                The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization
                A = U**H*U or A = L*L**H, as computed by CPOTRF.

           LDAF

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

           S

                     S is REAL array, dimension (N)
                The scale factors for A.  If EQUED = 'Y', A is multiplied on
                the left and right by diag(S).  S is an input argument if FACT =
                'F'; otherwise, S is an output argument.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED
                = 'Y', each element of S must be positive.  If S is output, each
                element of S is a power of the radix. If S is input, each element
                of S should be a power of the radix to ensure a reliable solution
                and error estimates. Scaling by powers of the radix does not cause
                rounding errors unless the result underflows or overflows.
                Rounding errors during scaling lead to refining with a matrix that
                is not equivalent to the input matrix, producing error estimates
                that may not be reliable.

           B

                     B is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
                The right hand side matrix B.

           LDB

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

           X

                     X is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
                On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by SGETRS.
                On exit, the improved solution matrix X.

           LDX

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

           RCOND

                     RCOND is REAL
                Reciprocal scaled condition number.  This is an estimate of the
                reciprocal Skeel condition number of the matrix A after
                equilibration (if done).  If this is less than the machine
                precision (in particular, if it is zero), the matrix is singular
                to working precision.  Note that the error may still be small even
                if this number is very small and the matrix appears ill-
                conditioned.

           BERR

                     BERR is REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
                Componentwise relative backward error.  This is 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).

           N_ERR_BNDS

                     N_ERR_BNDS is INTEGER
                Number of error bounds to return for each right hand side
                and each type (normwise or componentwise).  See ERR_BNDS_NORM and
                ERR_BNDS_COMP below.

           ERR_BNDS_NORM

                     ERR_BNDS_NORM is REAL array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
                For each right-hand side, this array contains information about
                various error bounds and condition numbers corresponding to the
                normwise relative error, which is defined as follows:

                Normwise relative error in the ith solution vector:
                        max_j (abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i)))
                       ------------------------------
                             max_j abs(X(j,i))

                The array is indexed by the type of error information as described
                below. There currently are up to three pieces of information
                returned.

                The first index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(i,:) corresponds to the ith
                right-hand side.

                The second index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,err) contains the following
                three fields:
                err = 1 'Trust/don't trust' boolean. Trust the answer if the
                         reciprocal condition number is less than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon').

                err = 2 'Guaranteed' error bound: The estimated forward error,
                         almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
                         so long as the next entry is greater than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon'). This error bound should only
                         be trusted if the previous boolean is true.

                err = 3  Reciprocal condition number: Estimated normwise
                         reciprocal condition number.  Compared with the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon') to determine if the error
                         estimate is 'guaranteed'. These reciprocal condition
                         numbers are 1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for some
                         appropriately scaled matrix Z.
                         Let Z = S*A, where S scales each row by a power of the
                         radix so all absolute row sums of Z are approximately 1.

                See Lapack Working Note 165 for further details and extra
                cautions.

           ERR_BNDS_COMP

                     ERR_BNDS_COMP is REAL array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
                For each right-hand side, this array contains information about
                various error bounds and condition numbers corresponding to the
                componentwise relative error, which is defined as follows:

                Componentwise relative error in the ith solution vector:
                               abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i))
                        max_j ----------------------
                                    abs(X(j,i))

                The array is indexed by the right-hand side i (on which the
                componentwise relative error depends), and the type of error
                information as described below. There currently are up to three
                pieces of information returned for each right-hand side. If
                componentwise accuracy is not requested (PARAMS(3) = 0.0), then
                ERR_BNDS_COMP is not accessed.  If N_ERR_BNDS < 3, then at most
                the first (:,N_ERR_BNDS) entries are returned.

                The first index in ERR_BNDS_COMP(i,:) corresponds to the ith
                right-hand side.

                The second index in ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,err) contains the following
                three fields:
                err = 1 'Trust/don't trust' boolean. Trust the answer if the
                         reciprocal condition number is less than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon').

                err = 2 'Guaranteed' error bound: The estimated forward error,
                         almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
                         so long as the next entry is greater than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon'). This error bound should only
                         be trusted if the previous boolean is true.

                err = 3  Reciprocal condition number: Estimated componentwise
                         reciprocal condition number.  Compared with the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon') to determine if the error
                         estimate is 'guaranteed'. These reciprocal condition
                         numbers are 1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for some
                         appropriately scaled matrix Z.
                         Let Z = S*(A*diag(x)), where x is the solution for the
                         current right-hand side and S scales each row of
                         A*diag(x) by a power of the radix so all absolute row
                         sums of Z are approximately 1.

                See Lapack Working Note 165 for further details and extra
                cautions.

           NPARAMS

                     NPARAMS is INTEGER
                Specifies the number of parameters set in PARAMS.  If <= 0, the
                PARAMS array is never referenced and default values are used.

           PARAMS

                     PARAMS is REAL array, dimension NPARAMS
                Specifies algorithm parameters.  If an entry is < 0.0, then
                that entry will be filled with default value used for that
                parameter.  Only positions up to NPARAMS are accessed; defaults
                are used for higher-numbered parameters.

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_ITREF_I = 1) : Whether to perform iterative
                       refinement or not.
                    Default: 1.0
                       = 0.0:  No refinement is performed, and no error bounds are
                               computed.
                       = 1.0:  Use the double-precision refinement algorithm,
                               possibly with doubled-single computations if the
                               compilation environment does not support DOUBLE
                               PRECISION.
                         (other values are reserved for future use)

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_ITHRESH_I = 2) : Maximum number of residual
                       computations allowed for refinement.
                    Default: 10

                                factorizations or factorizations other than LU. If
                                the factorization uses a technique other than
                                Gaussian elimination, the guarantees in
                                err_bnds_norm and err_bnds_comp may no longer be
                                trustworthy.

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_CWISE_I = 3) : Flag determining if the code
                       will attempt to find a solution with small componentwise
                       relative error in the double-precision algorithm.  Positive
                       is true, 0.0 is false.
                    Default: 1.0 (attempt componentwise convergence)

           WORK

                     WORK is COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N)

                    guaranteed.
                  < 0:  If INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
                  > 0 and <= N:  U(INFO,INFO) is exactly zero.  The factorization
                    has been completed, but the factor U is exactly singular, so
                    the solution and error bounds could not be computed. RCOND = 0
                    is returned.
                  = N+J: The solution corresponding to the Jth right-hand side is
                    not guaranteed. The solutions corresponding to other right-
                    hand sides K with K > J may not be guaranteed as well, but
                    only the first such right-hand side is reported. If a small
                    componentwise error is not requested (PARAMS(3) = 0.0) then
                    the Jth right-hand side is the first with a normwise error
                    bound that is not guaranteed (the smallest J such
                    that ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0). By default (PARAMS(3) = 1.0)
                    the Jth right-hand side is the first with either a normwise or
                    componentwise error bound that is not guaranteed (the smallest
                    J such that either ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0 or
                    ERR_BNDS_COMP(J,1) = 0.0). See the definition of
                    ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,1) and ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,1). To get information
                    about all of the right-hand sides check ERR_BNDS_NORM or
                    ERR_BNDS_COMP.

       DPORFSX

       Purpose:

               DPORFSX improves the computed solution to a system of linear
               equations when the coefficient matrix is symmetric positive
               definite, and provides error bounds and backward error estimates
               for the solution.  In addition to normwise error bound, the code
               provides maximum componentwise error bound if possible.  See
               comments for ERR_BNDS_NORM and ERR_BNDS_COMP for details of the
               error bounds.

               The original system of linear equations may have been equilibrated
               before calling this routine, as described by arguments EQUED and S
               below. In this case, the solution and error bounds returned are
               for the original unequilibrated system.

                Some optional parameters are bundled in the PARAMS array.  These
                settings determine how refinement is performed, but often the
                defaults are acceptable.  If the defaults are acceptable, users
                can pass NPARAMS = 0 which prevents the source code from accessing
                the PARAMS argument.

       Parameters
           UPLO

                     UPLO is CHARACTER*1
                  = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
                  = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

           EQUED

                     EQUED is CHARACTER*1
                Specifies the form of equilibration that was done to A
                before calling this routine. This is needed to compute
                the solution and error bounds correctly.
                  = 'N':  No equilibration
                  = 'Y':  Both row and column equilibration, i.e., A has been
                          replaced by diag(S) * A * diag(S).
                          The right hand side B has been changed accordingly.

           N

                     N is INTEGER
                The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

           NRHS

                     NRHS is INTEGER
                The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns
                of the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

           A

                     A is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
                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.

           LDA

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

           AF

                     AF is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDAF,N)
                The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization
                A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T, as computed by DPOTRF.

           LDAF

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

           S

                     S is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
                The scale factors for A.  If EQUED = 'Y', A is multiplied on
                the left and right by diag(S).  S is an input argument if FACT =
                'F'; otherwise, S is an output argument.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED
                = 'Y', each element of S must be positive.  If S is output, each
                element of S is a power of the radix. If S is input, each element
                of S should be a power of the radix to ensure a reliable solution
                and error estimates. Scaling by powers of the radix does not cause
                rounding errors unless the result underflows or overflows.
                Rounding errors during scaling lead to refining with a matrix that
                is not equivalent to the input matrix, producing error estimates
                that may not be reliable.

           B

                     B is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
                The right hand side matrix B.

           LDB

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

           X

                     X is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
                On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by DGETRS.
                On exit, the improved solution matrix X.

           LDX

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

           RCOND

                     RCOND is DOUBLE PRECISION
                Reciprocal scaled condition number.  This is an estimate of the
                reciprocal Skeel condition number of the matrix A after
                equilibration (if done).  If this is less than the machine
                precision (in particular, if it is zero), the matrix is singular
                to working precision.  Note that the error may still be small even
                if this number is very small and the matrix appears ill-
                conditioned.

           BERR

                     BERR is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
                Componentwise relative backward error.  This is 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).

           N_ERR_BNDS

                     N_ERR_BNDS is INTEGER
                Number of error bounds to return for each right hand side
                and each type (normwise or componentwise).  See ERR_BNDS_NORM and
                ERR_BNDS_COMP below.

           ERR_BNDS_NORM

                     ERR_BNDS_NORM is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
                For each right-hand side, this array contains information about
                various error bounds and condition numbers corresponding to the
                normwise relative error, which is defined as follows:

                Normwise relative error in the ith solution vector:
                        max_j (abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i)))
                       ------------------------------
                             max_j abs(X(j,i))

                The array is indexed by the type of error information as described
                below. There currently are up to three pieces of information
                returned.

                The first index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(i,:) corresponds to the ith
                right-hand side.

                The second index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,err) contains the following
                three fields:
                err = 1 'Trust/don't trust' boolean. Trust the answer if the
                         reciprocal condition number is less than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon').

                err = 2 'Guaranteed' error bound: The estimated forward error,
                         almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
                         so long as the next entry is greater than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon'). This error bound should only
                         be trusted if the previous boolean is true.

                err = 3  Reciprocal condition number: Estimated normwise
                         reciprocal condition number.  Compared with the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon') to determine if the error
                         estimate is 'guaranteed'. These reciprocal condition
                         numbers are 1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for some
                         appropriately scaled matrix Z.
                         Let Z = S*A, where S scales each row by a power of the
                         radix so all absolute row sums of Z are approximately 1.

                See Lapack Working Note 165 for further details and extra
                cautions.

           ERR_BNDS_COMP

                     ERR_BNDS_COMP is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
                For each right-hand side, this array contains information about
                various error bounds and condition numbers corresponding to the
                componentwise relative error, which is defined as follows:

                Componentwise relative error in the ith solution vector:
                               abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i))
                        max_j ----------------------
                                    abs(X(j,i))

                The array is indexed by the right-hand side i (on which the
                componentwise relative error depends), and the type of error
                information as described below. There currently are up to three
                pieces of information returned for each right-hand side. If
                componentwise accuracy is not requested (PARAMS(3) = 0.0), then
                ERR_BNDS_COMP is not accessed.  If N_ERR_BNDS < 3, then at most
                the first (:,N_ERR_BNDS) entries are returned.

                The first index in ERR_BNDS_COMP(i,:) corresponds to the ith
                right-hand side.

                The second index in ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,err) contains the following
                three fields:
                err = 1 'Trust/don't trust' boolean. Trust the answer if the
                         reciprocal condition number is less than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon').

                err = 2 'Guaranteed' error bound: The estimated forward error,
                         almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
                         so long as the next entry is greater than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon'). This error bound should only
                         be trusted if the previous boolean is true.

                err = 3  Reciprocal condition number: Estimated componentwise
                         reciprocal condition number.  Compared with the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon') to determine if the error
                         estimate is 'guaranteed'. These reciprocal condition
                         numbers are 1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for some
                         appropriately scaled matrix Z.
                         Let Z = S*(A*diag(x)), where x is the solution for the
                         current right-hand side and S scales each row of
                         A*diag(x) by a power of the radix so all absolute row
                         sums of Z are approximately 1.

                See Lapack Working Note 165 for further details and extra
                cautions.

           NPARAMS

                     NPARAMS is INTEGER
                Specifies the number of parameters set in PARAMS.  If <= 0, the
                PARAMS array is never referenced and default values are used.

           PARAMS

                     PARAMS is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NPARAMS)
                Specifies algorithm parameters.  If an entry is < 0.0, then
                that entry will be filled with default value used for that
                parameter.  Only positions up to NPARAMS are accessed; defaults
                are used for higher-numbered parameters.

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_ITREF_I = 1) : Whether to perform iterative

                    Default: 1.0D+0
                       = 0.0:  No refinement is performed, and no error bounds are
                               computed.
                       = 1.0:  Use the double-precision refinement algorithm,
                               possibly with doubled-single computations if the

                               PRECISION.

                                the factorization uses a technique other than
                                Gaussian elimination, the guarantees in
                                err_bnds_norm and err_bnds_comp may no longer be
                                trustworthy.

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_CWISE_I = 3) : Flag determining if the code

                       is true, 0.0 is false.
                    Default: 1.0 (attempt componentwise convergence)

           WORK

                     WORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (4*N)

           IWORK

                     IWORK is INTEGER array, dimension (N)

           INFO

                    guaranteed.
                  < 0:  If INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
                  > 0 and <= N:  U(INFO,INFO) is exactly zero.  The factorization
                    has been completed, but the factor U is exactly singular, so
                    the solution and error bounds could not be computed. RCOND = 0
                    is returned.
                  = N+J: The solution corresponding to the Jth right-hand side is
                    not guaranteed. The solutions corresponding to other right-
                    hand sides K with K > J may not be guaranteed as well, but
                    only the first such right-hand side is reported. If a small
                    componentwise error is not requested (PARAMS(3) = 0.0) then
                    the Jth right-hand side is the first with a normwise error
                    bound that is not guaranteed (the smallest J such
                    that ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0). By default (PARAMS(3) = 1.0)
                    the Jth right-hand side is the first with either a normwise or
                    componentwise error bound that is not guaranteed (the smallest
                    J such that either ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0 or
                    ERR_BNDS_COMP(J,1) = 0.0). See the definition of
                    ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,1) and ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,1). To get information
                    about all of the right-hand sides check ERR_BNDS_NORM or

       SPORFSX

       Purpose:

               SPORFSX improves the computed solution to a system of linear
               equations when the coefficient matrix is symmetric positive
               definite, and provides error bounds and backward error estimates
               for the solution.  In addition to normwise error bound, the code
               provides maximum componentwise error bound if possible.  See
               comments for ERR_BNDS_NORM and ERR_BNDS_COMP for details of the
               error bounds.

               The original system of linear equations may have been equilibrated
               before calling this routine, as described by arguments EQUED and S
               below. In this case, the solution and error bounds returned are
               for the original unequilibrated system.

                Some optional parameters are bundled in the PARAMS array.  These
                settings determine how refinement is performed, but often the
                defaults are acceptable.  If the defaults are acceptable, users
                can pass NPARAMS = 0 which prevents the source code from accessing
                the PARAMS argument.

       Parameters
           UPLO

                     UPLO is CHARACTER*1
                  = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
                  = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

           EQUED

                     EQUED is CHARACTER*1
                Specifies the form of equilibration that was done to A
                before calling this routine. This is needed to compute
                the solution and error bounds correctly.
                  = 'N':  No equilibration
                  = 'Y':  Both row and column equilibration, i.e., A has been
                          replaced by diag(S) * A * diag(S).
                          The right hand side B has been changed accordingly.

           N

                     N is INTEGER
                The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

           NRHS

                     NRHS is INTEGER
                The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns
                of the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

           A

                     A is REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
                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.

           LDA

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

           AF

                     AF is REAL array, dimension (LDAF,N)
                The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization
                A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T, as computed by SPOTRF.

           LDAF

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

           S

                     S is REAL array, dimension (N)
                The scale factors for A.  If EQUED = 'Y', A is multiplied on
                the left and right by diag(S).  S is an input argument if FACT =
                'F'; otherwise, S is an output argument.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED
                = 'Y', each element of S must be positive.  If S is output, each
                element of S is a power of the radix. If S is input, each element
                of S should be a power of the radix to ensure a reliable solution
                and error estimates. Scaling by powers of the radix does not cause
                rounding errors unless the result underflows or overflows.
                Rounding errors during scaling lead to refining with a matrix that
                is not equivalent to the input matrix, producing error estimates
                that may not be reliable.

           B

                     B is REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
                The right hand side matrix B.

           LDB

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

           X

                     X is REAL array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
                On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by SGETRS.
                On exit, the improved solution matrix X.

           LDX

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

           RCOND

                     RCOND is REAL
                Reciprocal scaled condition number.  This is an estimate of the
                reciprocal Skeel condition number of the matrix A after
                equilibration (if done).  If this is less than the machine
                precision (in particular, if it is zero), the matrix is singular
                to working precision.  Note that the error may still be small even
                if this number is very small and the matrix appears ill-
                conditioned.

           BERR

                     BERR is REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
                Componentwise relative backward error.  This is 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).

           N_ERR_BNDS

                     N_ERR_BNDS is INTEGER
                Number of error bounds to return for each right hand side
                and each type (normwise or componentwise).  See ERR_BNDS_NORM and
                ERR_BNDS_COMP below.

           ERR_BNDS_NORM

                     ERR_BNDS_NORM is REAL array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
                For each right-hand side, this array contains information about
                various error bounds and condition numbers corresponding to the
                normwise relative error, which is defined as follows:

                Normwise relative error in the ith solution vector:
                        max_j (abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i)))
                       ------------------------------
                             max_j abs(X(j,i))

                The array is indexed by the type of error information as described
                below. There currently are up to three pieces of information
                returned.

                The first index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(i,:) corresponds to the ith
                right-hand side.

                The second index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,err) contains the following
                three fields:
                err = 1 'Trust/don't trust' boolean. Trust the answer if the
                         reciprocal condition number is less than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon').

                err = 2 'Guaranteed' error bound: The estimated forward error,
                         almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
                         so long as the next entry is greater than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon'). This error bound should only
                         be trusted if the previous boolean is true.

                err = 3  Reciprocal condition number: Estimated normwise
                         reciprocal condition number.  Compared with the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon') to determine if the error
                         estimate is 'guaranteed'. These reciprocal condition
                         numbers are 1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for some
                         appropriately scaled matrix Z.
                         Let Z = S*A, where S scales each row by a power of the
                         radix so all absolute row sums of Z are approximately 1.

                See Lapack Working Note 165 for further details and extra
                cautions.

           ERR_BNDS_COMP

                     ERR_BNDS_COMP is REAL array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
                For each right-hand side, this array contains information about
                various error bounds and condition numbers corresponding to the
                componentwise relative error, which is defined as follows:

                Componentwise relative error in the ith solution vector:
                               abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i))
                        max_j ----------------------
                                    abs(X(j,i))

                The array is indexed by the right-hand side i (on which the
                componentwise relative error depends), and the type of error
                information as described below. There currently are up to three
                pieces of information returned for each right-hand side. If
                componentwise accuracy is not requested (PARAMS(3) = 0.0), then
                ERR_BNDS_COMP is not accessed.  If N_ERR_BNDS < 3, then at most
                the first (:,N_ERR_BNDS) entries are returned.

                The first index in ERR_BNDS_COMP(i,:) corresponds to the ith
                right-hand side.

                The second index in ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,err) contains the following
                three fields:
                err = 1 'Trust/don't trust' boolean. Trust the answer if the
                         reciprocal condition number is less than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon').

                err = 2 'Guaranteed' error bound: The estimated forward error,
                         almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
                         so long as the next entry is greater than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon'). This error bound should only
                         be trusted if the previous boolean is true.

                err = 3  Reciprocal condition number: Estimated componentwise
                         reciprocal condition number.  Compared with the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * slamch('Epsilon') to determine if the error
                         estimate is 'guaranteed'. These reciprocal condition
                         numbers are 1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for some
                         appropriately scaled matrix Z.
                         Let Z = S*(A*diag(x)), where x is the solution for the
                         current right-hand side and S scales each row of
                         A*diag(x) by a power of the radix so all absolute row
                         sums of Z are approximately 1.

                See Lapack Working Note 165 for further details and extra
                cautions.

           NPARAMS

                     NPARAMS is INTEGER
                Specifies the number of parameters set in PARAMS.  If <= 0, the
                PARAMS array is never referenced and default values are used.

           PARAMS

                     PARAMS is REAL array, dimension NPARAMS
                Specifies algorithm parameters.  If an entry is < 0.0, then
                that entry will be filled with default value used for that
                parameter.  Only positions up to NPARAMS are accessed; defaults
                are used for higher-numbered parameters.

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_ITREF_I = 1) : Whether to perform iterative
                       refinement or not.
                    Default: 1.0
                       = 0.0:  No refinement is performed, and no error bounds are
                               computed.
                       = 1.0:  Use the double-precision refinement algorithm,
                               possibly with doubled-single computations if the
                               compilation environment does not support DOUBLE
                               PRECISION.
                         (other values are reserved for future use)

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_ITHRESH_I = 2) : Maximum number of residual
                       computations allowed for refinement.
                    Default: 10
                    Aggressive: Set to 100 to permit convergence using approximate
                                factorizations or factorizations other than LU. If
                                the factorization uses a technique other than
                                Gaussian elimination, the guarantees in
                                err_bnds_norm and err_bnds_comp may no longer be
                                trustworthy.

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_CWISE_I = 3) : Flag determining if the code
                       will attempt to find a solution with small componentwise
                       relative error in the double-precision algorithm.  Positive
                       is true, 0.0 is false.
                    Default: 1.0 (attempt componentwise convergence)

           WORK

                     WORK is REAL array, dimension (4*N)

           IWORK

                     IWORK is INTEGER array, dimension (N)

           INFO

                     INFO is INTEGER
                  = 0:  Successful exit. The solution to every right-hand side is
                    guaranteed.
                  < 0:  If INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
                  > 0 and <= N:  U(INFO,INFO) is exactly zero.  The factorization
                    has been completed, but the factor U is exactly singular, so
                    the solution and error bounds could not be computed. RCOND = 0
                    is returned.
                  = N+J: The solution corresponding to the Jth right-hand side is
                    not guaranteed. The solutions corresponding to other right-
                    hand sides K with K > J may not be guaranteed as well, but
                    only the first such right-hand side is reported. If a small
                    componentwise error is not requested (PARAMS(3) = 0.0) then
                    the Jth right-hand side is the first with a normwise error
                    bound that is not guaranteed (the smallest J such
                    that ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0). By default (PARAMS(3) = 1.0)
                    the Jth right-hand side is the first with either a normwise or
                    componentwise error bound that is not guaranteed (the smallest
                    J such that either ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0 or
                    ERR_BNDS_COMP(J,1) = 0.0). See the definition of
                    ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,1) and ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,1). To get information
                    about all of the right-hand sides check ERR_BNDS_NORM or
                    ERR_BNDS_COMP.

       ZPORFSX

       Purpose:

               ZPORFSX improves the computed solution to a system of linear
               equations when the coefficient matrix is Hermitian positive
               definite, and provides error bounds and backward error estimates
               for the solution.  In addition to normwise error bound, the code
               provides maximum componentwise error bound if possible.  See
               comments for ERR_BNDS_NORM and ERR_BNDS_COMP for details of the
               error bounds.

               The original system of linear equations may have been equilibrated
               before calling this routine, as described by arguments EQUED and S
               below. In this case, the solution and error bounds returned are
               for the original unequilibrated system.

                Some optional parameters are bundled in the PARAMS array.  These
                settings determine how refinement is performed, but often the
                defaults are acceptable.  If the defaults are acceptable, users
                can pass NPARAMS = 0 which prevents the source code from accessing
                the PARAMS argument.

       Parameters
           UPLO

                     UPLO is CHARACTER*1
                  = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
                  = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

           EQUED

                     EQUED is CHARACTER*1
                Specifies the form of equilibration that was done to A
                before calling this routine. This is needed to compute
                the solution and error bounds correctly.
                  = 'N':  No equilibration
                  = 'Y':  Both row and column equilibration, i.e., A has been
                          replaced by diag(S) * A * diag(S).
                          The right hand side B has been changed accordingly.

           N

                     N is INTEGER
                The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

           NRHS

                     NRHS is INTEGER
                The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns
                of the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

           A

                     A is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDA,N)
                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

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

           AF

                     AF is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAF,N)
                The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization
                A = U**H*U or A = L*L**H, as computed by ZPOTRF.

           LDAF

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

           S

                     S is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
                The scale factors for A.  If EQUED = 'Y', A is multiplied on
                the left and right by diag(S).  S is an input argument if FACT =
                'F'; otherwise, S is an output argument.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED
                = 'Y', each element of S must be positive.  If S is output, each
                element of S is a power of the radix. If S is input, each element
                of S should be a power of the radix to ensure a reliable solution
                and error estimates. Scaling by powers of the radix does not cause
                rounding errors unless the result underflows or overflows.
                Rounding errors during scaling lead to refining with a matrix that
                is not equivalent to the input matrix, producing error estimates
                that may not be reliable.

           B

                     B is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
                The right hand side matrix B.

           LDB

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

           X

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

           LDX

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

           RCOND

                     RCOND is DOUBLE PRECISION
                Reciprocal scaled condition number.  This is an estimate of the
                reciprocal Skeel condition number of the matrix A after
                equilibration (if done).  If this is less than the machine
                precision (in particular, if it is zero), the matrix is singular
                to working precision.  Note that the error may still be small even
                if this number is very small and the matrix appears ill-
                conditioned.

           BERR

                     BERR is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
                Componentwise relative backward error.  This is 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).

           N_ERR_BNDS

                     N_ERR_BNDS is INTEGER
                Number of error bounds to return for each right hand side
                and each type (normwise or componentwise).  See ERR_BNDS_NORM and
                ERR_BNDS_COMP below.

           ERR_BNDS_NORM

                     ERR_BNDS_NORM is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
                For each right-hand side, this array contains information about
                various error bounds and condition numbers corresponding to the
                normwise relative error, which is defined as follows:

                Normwise relative error in the ith solution vector:
                        max_j (abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i)))
                       ------------------------------
                             max_j abs(X(j,i))

                The array is indexed by the type of error information as described
                below. There currently are up to three pieces of information
                returned.

                The first index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(i,:) corresponds to the ith
                right-hand side.

                The second index in ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,err) contains the following
                three fields:
                err = 1 'Trust/don't trust' boolean. Trust the answer if the
                         reciprocal condition number is less than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon').

                err = 2 'Guaranteed' error bound: The estimated forward error,
                         almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
                         so long as the next entry is greater than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon'). This error bound should only
                         be trusted if the previous boolean is true.

                err = 3  Reciprocal condition number: Estimated normwise
                         reciprocal condition number.  Compared with the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon') to determine if the error
                         estimate is 'guaranteed'. These reciprocal condition
                         numbers are 1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for some
                         appropriately scaled matrix Z.
                         Let Z = S*A, where S scales each row by a power of the
                         radix so all absolute row sums of Z are approximately 1.

                See Lapack Working Note 165 for further details and extra
                cautions.

           ERR_BNDS_COMP

                     ERR_BNDS_COMP is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS, N_ERR_BNDS)
                For each right-hand side, this array contains information about
                various error bounds and condition numbers corresponding to the
                componentwise relative error, which is defined as follows:

                Componentwise relative error in the ith solution vector:
                               abs(XTRUE(j,i) - X(j,i))
                        max_j ----------------------
                                    abs(X(j,i))

                The array is indexed by the right-hand side i (on which the
                componentwise relative error depends), and the type of error
                information as described below. There currently are up to three
                pieces of information returned for each right-hand side. If
                componentwise accuracy is not requested (PARAMS(3) = 0.0), then
                ERR_BNDS_COMP is not accessed.  If N_ERR_BNDS < 3, then at most
                the first (:,N_ERR_BNDS) entries are returned.

                The first index in ERR_BNDS_COMP(i,:) corresponds to the ith
                right-hand side.

                The second index in ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,err) contains the following
                three fields:
                err = 1 'Trust/don't trust' boolean. Trust the answer if the
                         reciprocal condition number is less than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon').

                err = 2 'Guaranteed' error bound: The estimated forward error,
                         almost certainly within a factor of 10 of the true error
                         so long as the next entry is greater than the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon'). This error bound should only
                         be trusted if the previous boolean is true.

                err = 3  Reciprocal condition number: Estimated componentwise
                         reciprocal condition number.  Compared with the threshold
                         sqrt(n) * dlamch('Epsilon') to determine if the error
                         estimate is 'guaranteed'. These reciprocal condition
                         numbers are 1 / (norm(Z^{-1},inf) * norm(Z,inf)) for some
                         appropriately scaled matrix Z.
                         Let Z = S*(A*diag(x)), where x is the solution for the
                         current right-hand side and S scales each row of
                         A*diag(x) by a power of the radix so all absolute row
                         sums of Z are approximately 1.

                See Lapack Working Note 165 for further details and extra
                cautions.

           NPARAMS

                     NPARAMS is INTEGER
                Specifies the number of parameters set in PARAMS.  If <= 0, the
                PARAMS array is never referenced and default values are used.

           PARAMS

                     PARAMS is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension NPARAMS
                Specifies algorithm parameters.  If an entry is < 0.0, then
                that entry will be filled with default value used for that
                parameter.  Only positions up to NPARAMS are accessed; defaults
                are used for higher-numbered parameters.

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_ITREF_I = 1) : Whether to perform iterative
                       refinement or not.
                    Default: 1.0D+0
                       = 0.0:  No refinement is performed, and no error bounds are
                               computed.
                       = 1.0:  Use the double-precision refinement algorithm,
                               possibly with doubled-single computations if the
                               compilation environment does not support DOUBLE
                               PRECISION.
                         (other values are reserved for future use)

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_ITHRESH_I = 2) : Maximum number of residual
                       computations allowed for refinement.
                    Default: 10
                    Aggressive: Set to 100 to permit convergence using approximate
                                factorizations or factorizations other than LU. If
                                the factorization uses a technique other than
                                Gaussian elimination, the guarantees in
                                err_bnds_norm and err_bnds_comp may no longer be
                                trustworthy.

                  PARAMS(LA_LINRX_CWISE_I = 3) : Flag determining if the code
                       will attempt to find a solution with small componentwise
                       relative error in the double-precision algorithm.  Positive
                       is true, 0.0 is false.
                    Default: 1.0 (attempt componentwise convergence)

           WORK

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

           RWORK

                     RWORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (2*N)

           INFO

                     INFO is INTEGER
                  = 0:  Successful exit. The solution to every right-hand side is
                    guaranteed.
                  < 0:  If INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
                  > 0 and <= N:  U(INFO,INFO) is exactly zero.  The factorization
                    has been completed, but the factor U is exactly singular, so
                    the solution and error bounds could not be computed. RCOND = 0
                    is returned.
                  = N+J: The solution corresponding to the Jth right-hand side is
                    not guaranteed. The solutions corresponding to other right-
                    hand sides K with K > J may not be guaranteed as well, but
                    only the first such right-hand side is reported. If a small
                    componentwise error is not requested (PARAMS(3) = 0.0) then
                    the Jth right-hand side is the first with a normwise error
                    bound that is not guaranteed (the smallest J such
                    that ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0). By default (PARAMS(3) = 1.0)
                    the Jth right-hand side is the first with either a normwise or
                    componentwise error bound that is not guaranteed (the smallest
                    J such that either ERR_BNDS_NORM(J,1) = 0.0 or
                    ERR_BNDS_COMP(J,1) = 0.0). See the definition of
                    ERR_BNDS_NORM(:,1) and ERR_BNDS_COMP(:,1). To get information
                    about all of the right-hand sides check ERR_BNDS_NORM or
                    ERR_BNDS_COMP.
