potf2 - potf2: triangular factor panel, level 2


subroutine cpotf2 (uplo, n, a, lda, info)
CPOTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization of a symmetric/Hermitian positive definite matrix (unblocked algorithm). subroutine dpotf2 (uplo, n, a, lda, info)

ZPOTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization of a symmetric/Hermitian positive definite matrix (unblocked algorithm).

CPOTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization of a symmetric/Hermitian positive definite matrix (unblocked algorithm).

Purpose:


CPOTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization of a complex Hermitian
positive definite matrix A.
The factorization has the form
A = U**H * U , if UPLO = 'U', or
A = L * L**H, if UPLO = 'L',
where U is an upper triangular matrix and L is lower triangular.
This is the unblocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 2 BLAS.

Parameters

UPLO


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

N


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

A


A is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
On entry, the Hermitian 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 INFO = 0, the factor U or L from the Cholesky
factorization A = U**H *U or A = L*L**H.

LDA


LDA is INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N).

INFO


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