SSPTRD - reduce a real symmetric matrix A stored in packed
form to symmetric tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal sim
ilarity transformation
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE SSPTRD( UPLO, N, AP, D, E, TAU, INFO )
CHARACTER UPLO
INTEGER INFO, N
REAL AP( * ), D( * ), E( * ), TAU( * )
PURPOSE
SSPTRD reduces a real symmetric matrix A stored in packed
form to symmetric tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal sim
ilarity transformation: Q**T * A * Q = T.
ARGUMENTS
UPLO (input) CHARACTER*1
= 'U': Upper triangle of A is stored;
= 'L': Lower triangle of A is stored.
N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
AP (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the sym
metric matrix A, packed columnwise in a linear
array. The j-th column of A is stored in the
array AP as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i +
(j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L',
AP(i + (j-1)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n. On
exit, if UPLO = 'U', the diagonal and first super
diagonal of A are overwritten by the corresponding
elements of the tridiagonal matrix T, and the ele
ments above the first superdiagonal, with the
array TAU, represent the orthogonal matrix Q as a
product of elementary reflectors; if UPLO = 'L',
the diagonal and first subdiagonal of A are over-
written by the corresponding elements of the
tridiagonal matrix T, and the elements below the
first subdiagonal, with the array TAU, represent
the orthogonal matrix Q as a product of elementary
reflectors. See Further Details. D (output)
REAL array, dimension (N) The diagonal elements of
the tridiagonal matrix T: D(i) = A(i,i).
E (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
The off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal
matrix T: E(i) = A(i,i+1) if UPLO = 'U', E(i) =
A(i+1,i) if UPLO = 'L'.
The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors
(see Further Details).
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an ille
gal value
FURTHER DETAILS
If UPLO = 'U', the matrix Q is represented as a product of
elementary reflectors
Q = H(n-1) . . . H(2) H(1).
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(i+1:n) = 0 and v(i) = 1; v(1:i-1) is stored on exit in
AP, overwriting A(1:i-1,i+1), and tau is stored in TAU(i).
If UPLO = 'L', the matrix Q is represented as a product of
elementary reflectors
Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(n-1).
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) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+2:n) is stored on exit in
AP, overwriting A(i+2:n,i), and tau is stored in TAU(i).
