Solution to a Linear System in a Cholesky-Factored Symmetric Positive Definite Matrix in Packed Storage

The subroutines described in this section solve a linear system AX = B for a real symmetric (or Hermitian) positive definite matrix A in packed storage, which has been Cholesky-factored by xPPTRF, and general matrices B and X.

Arguments

UPLO

Indicates whether xA contains the upper or lower triangle of the matrix. The legal values for UPLO are listed below. Any values not listed below are illegal.

'U' or 'u'

xA contains the upper triangle.

'L' or 'l'

xA contains the lower triangle.

N

Order of the matrix A. N 0.

NRHS

Number of right-hand sides, equal to the number of columns of the matrix B. NRHS 0.

xA

Cholesky factorization of the matrix A as computed by xPPTRF.
The dimension of xA is (N × N + N) / 2.

xB

On entry, the N×NRHS right-hand side matrix B.
On exit, the N×NRHS solution matrix X.

LDB

Leading dimension of the array B as specified in a dimension or type statement. LDB max(1, N).

INFO

On exit:

INFO = 0

Subroutine completed normally.

INFO < 0

The ith argument, where i = |INFO|, had an illegal value.
