DPOSV(1) LAPACK driver routine (version 3.2) DPOSV(1)

NAME

DPOSV - computes the solution to a real system of linear equations A * X = B,

SYNOPSIS

UPLO, N, NRHS, A, LDA, B, LDB, INFO )

CHARACTER UPLO INTEGER INFO, LDA, LDB, N, NRHS DOUBLE PRECISION A( LDA, * ), B( LDB, * )

PURPOSE

DPOSV computes the solution to a real system of linear equations
A * X = B, where A is an N-by-N symmetric positive definite matrix and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.
The Cholesky decomposition is used to factor A as
A = U**T* U, if UPLO = 'U', or
A = L * L**T, if UPLO = 'L',
where U is an upper triangular matrix and L is a lower triangular matrix. The factored form of A is then used to solve the system of equations A * X = B.

ARGUMENTS

= 'U': Upper triangle of A is stored;
= 'L': Lower triangle of A is stored.
The number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix B. NRHS >= 0.
On entry, the symmetric 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**T*U or A = L*L**T.
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N).
On entry, the N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B. On exit, if INFO = 0, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.
The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,N).
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
> 0: if INFO = i, the leading minor of order i of A is not positive definite, so the factorization could not be completed, and the solution has not been computed.
