Function/Subroutine Documentation

   subroutine spbstf (characterUPLO, integerN, integerKD, real, dimension( ldab, * )AB,
       integerLDAB, integerINFO)
       SPBSTF

       Purpose:

            SPBSTF computes a split Cholesky factorization of a real
            symmetric positive definite band matrix A.

            This routine is designed to be used in conjunction with SSBGST.

            The factorization has the form  A = S**T*S  where S is a band matrix
            of the same bandwidth as A and the following structure:

              S = ( U    )
                  ( M  L )

            where U is upper triangular of order m = (n+kd)/2, and L is lower
            triangular of order n-m.

       Parameters:
           UPLO

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

           N

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

           KD

                     KD is INTEGER
                     The number of superdiagonals of the matrix A if UPLO = 'U',
                     or the number of subdiagonals if UPLO = 'L'.  KD >= 0.

           AB

                     AB is REAL array, dimension (LDAB,N)
                     On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the symmetric band
                     matrix A, stored in the first kd+1 rows of the array.  The
                     j-th column of A is stored in the j-th column of the array AB
                     as follows:
                     if UPLO = 'U', AB(kd+1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-kd)<=i<=j;
                     if UPLO = 'L', AB(1+i-j,j)    = A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+kd).

                     On exit, if INFO = 0, the factor S from the split Cholesky
                     factorization A = S**T*S. See Further Details.

           LDAB

                     LDAB is INTEGER
                     The leading dimension of the array AB.  LDAB >= KD+1.

           INFO

                     INFO is INTEGER
                     = 0: successful exit
                     < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
                     > 0: if INFO = i, the factorization could not be completed,
                          because the updated element a(i,i) was negative; the
                          matrix A is not positive definite.

       Further Details:

             The band storage scheme is illustrated by the following example, when
             N = 7, KD = 2:

             S = ( s11  s12  s13                     )
                 (      s22  s23  s24                )
                 (           s33  s34                )
                 (                s44                )
                 (           s53  s54  s55           )
                 (                s64  s65  s66      )
                 (                     s75  s76  s77 )

             If UPLO = 'U', the array AB holds:

             on entry:                          on exit:

              *    *   a13  a24  a35  a46  a57   *    *   s13  s24  s53  s64  s75
              *   a12  a23  a34  a45  a56  a67   *   s12  s23  s34  s54  s65  s76
             a11  a22  a33  a44  a55  a66  a77  s11  s22  s33  s44  s55  s66  s77

             If UPLO = 'L', the array AB holds:

             on entry:                          on exit:

             a11  a22  a33  a44  a55  a66  a77  s11  s22  s33  s44  s55  s66  s77
             a21  a32  a43  a54  a65  a76   *   s12  s23  s34  s54  s65  s76   *
             a31  a42  a53  a64  a64   *    *   s13  s24  s53  s64  s75   *    *

             Array elements marked * are not used by the routine.
