       Hermitian positive definite band matrix A


SYNOPSIS

       SUBROUTINE ZPBTF2( UPLO, N, KD, AB, LDAB, INFO )

           CHARACTER      UPLO

           INTEGER        INFO, KD, LDAB, N

           COMPLEX*16     AB( LDAB, * )


PURPOSE

       ZPBTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization  of  a  complex
       Hermitian positive definite band matrix A.  The factoriza­
       tion has the form
          A = U' * U ,  if UPLO = 'U', or
          A = L  * L',  if UPLO = 'L',
       where U is an upper triangular matrix, U' is the conjugate
       transpose of U, and L is lower triangular.

       This  is  the  unblocked version of the algorithm, calling
       Level 2 BLAS.


ARGUMENTS

       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
               Specifies whether the upper  or  lower  triangular
               part of the Hermitian matrix A is stored:
               = 'U':  Upper triangular
               = 'L':  Lower triangular

       N       (input) INTEGER
               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

       KD      (input) INTEGER
               The  number  of super-diagonals of the matrix A if
               UPLO = 'U', or the number of sub-diagonals if UPLO
               = 'L'.  KD >= 0.

       AB      (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension
               (LDAB,N)
               On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the  Her­
               mitian  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 triangular factor U or L
               from  the  Cholesky  factorization A = U'*U or A =
               L*L' of the band matrix A,  in  the  same  storage


       LDAB    (input) INTEGER
               The  leading  dimension  of the array AB.  LDAB >=
               KD+1.

       INFO    (output) INTEGER
               = 0: successful exit
               < 0: if INFO = -k, the k-th argument had an  ille­
               gal value
               >  0: if INFO = k, the leading minor of order k is
               not positive definite, and the factorization could
               not be completed.


FURTHER DETAILS

       The  band  storage  scheme is illustrated by the following
       example, when N = 6, KD = 2, and UPLO = 'U':

       On entry:                       On exit:

           *    *   a13  a24  a35  a46       *     *    u13   u24
       u35  u46
           *    a12   a23   a34   a45  a56      *   u12  u23  u34
       u45  u56
          a11  a22  a33  a44  a55  a66      u11   u22   u33   u44
       u55  u66

       Similarly, if UPLO = 'L' the format of A is as follows:

       On entry:                       On exit:

          a11   a22   a33   a44   a55  a66     l11  l22  l33  l44
       l55  l66
          a21  a32  a43  a54  a65   *       l21   l32   l43   l54
       l65   *
          a31  a42  a53  a64   *    *      l31  l42  l53  l64   *
       *

       Array elements marked * are not used by the routine.
