Description
The routine computes the factorization of a complex Hermitian matrix
A
 using the Bunch-Kaufman diagonal pivoting method:
  • if
    uplo
    =
    'U'
    ,
    A
     =
    U*D*U
    H
  • if
    uplo
    =
    'L'
    ,
    A
     =
    L*D*L
    H
    ,
where
A
 is the input matrix,
U
 and
L
 are products of permutation and triangular matrices with unit diagonal (upper triangular for
U
 and lower triangular for
L
), and
D
 is a Hermitian block-diagonal matrix with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks.
U
 and
L
 have 2-by-2 unit diagonal blocks corresponding to the 2-by-2 blocks of
D
.
This routine supports the Progress Routine feature.
See Progress Routine for details.
Input Parameters
matrix_layout
Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (
LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR
) or column major (
LAPACK_COL_MAJOR
).
uplo
Must be
'U'
 or
'L'
.
Indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of
A
 is stored and how
A
 is factored:
If
uplo
 =
'U'
, the array
a
 stores the upper triangular part of the matrix
A
, and
A
 is factored as
U*D*U
H
.
If
uplo
 =
'L'
, the array
a
 stores the lower triangular part of the matrix
A
, and
A
 is factored as
L*D*L
H
.
n
The order of matrix
A
;
n
≥
 0.
a
Array, size
max(1,
lda
*
n
)
.
The array
a
 contains the upper or the lower triangular part of the matrix
A
 (see
uplo
).
lda
The leading dimension of
a
; at least
max(1,
n
)
.
Output Parameters
a
The upper or lower triangular part of
a
 is overwritten by details of the block-diagonal matrix
D
 and the multipliers used to obtain the factor
U
 (or
L
).
ipiv
Array, size at least
max(1,
n
)
. Contains details of the interchanges and the block structure of
D
. If
ipiv
[
i
-1] =
k
 >0
, then
d
i
i
 is a 1-by-1 block, and the
i
-th row and column of
A
 was interchanged with the
k
-th row and column.
If
uplo
 =
'U'
 and
ipiv
[
i
] =
ipiv
[
i
-1] = -
m
 < 0, then
D
 has a 2-by-2 block in rows/columns
i
 and
i
+1
, and
i
-th row and column of
A
 was interchanged with the
m
-th row and column.
If
uplo
 =
'L'
 and
ipiv
[
i
] =
ipiv
[
i
-1] = -
m
 < 0, then
D
 has a 2-by-2 block in rows/columns
i
 and
i
+1, and (
i
+1)-th row and column of
A
 was interchanged with the
m
-th row and column.
Return Values
This function returns a value
info
.
If
info
= 0
, the execution is successful.
If
info
 =
-i
, parameter
i
 had an illegal value.
If
info
 =
i
,
d
i
i
 is 0. The factorization has been completed, but
D
 is exactly singular. Division by 0 will occur if you use
D
 for solving a system of linear equations.
Application Notes
This routine is suitable for Hermitian matrices that are not known to be positive-definite. If
A
 is in fact positive-definite, the routine does not perform interchanges, and no 2-by-2 diagonal blocks occur in
D
.
The 2-by-2 unit diagonal blocks and the unit diagonal elements of
U
 and
L
 are not stored. The remaining elements of
U
 and
L
 are stored in the corresponding columns of the array
a
, but additional row interchanges are required to recover
U
 or
L
 explicitly (which is seldom necessary).
If
ipiv
[
i
-1]
 =
i
 for all
i
 =1...
n
, then all off-diagonal elements of
U
 (
L
) are stored explicitly in the corresponding elements of the array
a
.
If
uplo
 =
'U'
, the computed factors
U
 and
D
 are the exact factors of a perturbed matrix
A
 +
E
, where
|E| ≤ c(n)ε P|U||D||U
T
|P
T
c
(
n
)
 is a modest linear function of
n
, and
ε
 is the machine precision.
A similar estimate holds for the computed
L
 and
D
 when
uplo
 =
'L'
.
The total number of floating-point operations is approximately
(4/3)
n
3
.
After calling this routine, you can call the following routines:
to solve
A*X
 =
B
to estimate the condition number of
A
to compute the inverse of
A
.
