Function/Subroutine Documentation
subroutine slatrd (characterUPLO, integerN, integerNB, real, dimension( lda, * )A, integerLDA,
real, dimension( * )E, real, dimension( * )TAU, real, dimension( ldw, * )W, integerLDW)
SLATRD reduces the first nb rows and columns of a symmetric/Hermitian matrix A to real
tridiagonal form by an orthogonal similarity transformation.
Purpose:
SLATRD reduces NB rows and columns of a real symmetric matrix A to
symmetric tridiagonal form by an orthogonal similarity
transformation Q**T * A * Q, and returns the matrices V and W which are
needed to apply the transformation to the unreduced part of A.
If UPLO = 'U', SLATRD reduces the last NB rows and columns of a
matrix, of which the upper triangle is supplied;
if UPLO = 'L', SLATRD reduces the first NB rows and columns of a
matrix, of which the lower triangle is supplied.
This is an auxiliary routine called by SSYTRD.
Parameters:
UPLO
UPLO is CHARACTER*1
Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the
symmetric matrix A is stored:
= 'U': Upper triangular
= 'L': Lower triangular
N
N is INTEGER
The order of the matrix A.
NB
NB is INTEGER
The number of rows and columns to be reduced.
A
A is REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
On entry, 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.
On exit:
if UPLO = 'U', the last NB columns have been reduced to
tridiagonal form, with the diagonal elements overwriting
the diagonal elements of A; the elements above the diagonal
with the array TAU, represent the orthogonal matrix Q as a
product of elementary reflectors;
if UPLO = 'L', the first NB columns have been reduced to
tridiagonal form, with the diagonal elements overwriting
the diagonal elements of A; the elements below the diagonal
with the array TAU, represent the orthogonal matrix Q as a
product of elementary reflectors.
See Further Details.
LDA
LDA is INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= (1,N).
E
E is REAL array, dimension (N-1)
If UPLO = 'U', E(n-nb:n-1) contains the superdiagonal
elements of the last NB columns of the reduced matrix;
if UPLO = 'L', E(1:nb) contains the subdiagonal elements of
the first NB columns of the reduced matrix.
TAU
TAU is REAL array, dimension (N-1)
The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors, stored in
TAU(n-nb:n-1) if UPLO = 'U', and in TAU(1:nb) if UPLO = 'L'.
See Further Details.
W
W is REAL array, dimension (LDW,NB)
The n-by-nb matrix W required to update the unreduced part
of A.
LDW
LDW is INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array W. LDW >= max(1,N).

Further Details:
If UPLO = 'U', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
reflectors
Q = H(n) H(n-1) . . . H(n-nb+1).
Each H(i) has the form
H(i) = I - tau * v * v**T
where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
v(i:n) = 0 and v(i-1) = 1; v(1:i-1) is stored on exit in A(1:i-1,i),
and tau in TAU(i-1).
If UPLO = 'L', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
reflectors
Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(nb).
Each H(i) has the form
H(i) = I - tau * v * v**T
where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
v(1:i) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+1:n) is stored on exit in A(i+1:n,i),
and tau in TAU(i).
The elements of the vectors v together form the n-by-nb matrix V
which is needed, with W, to apply the transformation to the unreduced
part of the matrix, using a symmetric rank-2k update of the form:
A := A - V*W**T - W*V**T.
The contents of A on exit are illustrated by the following examples
with n = 5 and nb = 2:
if UPLO = 'U': if UPLO = 'L':
( a a a v4 v5 ) ( d )
( a a v4 v5 ) ( 1 d )
( a 1 v5 ) ( v1 1 a )
( d 1 ) ( v1 v2 a a )
( d ) ( v1 v2 a a a )
where d denotes a diagonal element of the reduced matrix, a denotes
an element of the original matrix that is unchanged, and vi denotes
an element of the vector defining H(i).
