NAME¶

SLARZT - forms the triangular factor T of a real block reflector H of order > n, which is defined as a product of k elementary reflectors

SYNOPSIS¶

SUBROUTINE SLARZT(

DIRECT, STOREV, N, K, V, LDV, TAU, T, LDT )

CHARACTER DIRECT, STOREV INTEGER K, LDT, LDV, N REAL T( LDT, * ), TAU( * ), V( LDV, * )

PURPOSE¶

SLARZT forms the triangular factor T of a real block reflector H of order > n, which is defined as a product of k elementary reflectors. If DIRECT = 'F', H = H(1) H(2) . . . H(k) and T is upper triangular; If DIRECT = 'B', H = H(k) . . . H(2) H(1) and T is lower triangular. If STOREV = 'C', the vector which defines the elementary reflector H(i) is stored in the i-th column of the array V, and
H = I - V * T * V'
If STOREV = 'R', the vector which defines the elementary reflector H(i) is stored in the i-th row of the array V, and
H = I - V' * T * V
Currently, only STOREV = 'R' and DIRECT = 'B' are supported.

ARGUMENTS¶

DIRECT (input) CHARACTER*1

Specifies the order in which the elementary reflectors are multiplied to form the block reflector:
= 'F': H = H(1) H(2) . . . H(k) (Forward, not supported yet)
= 'B': H = H(k) . . . H(2) H(1) (Backward)

STOREV (input) CHARACTER*1

Specifies how the vectors which define the elementary reflectors are stored (see also Further Details):
= 'R': rowwise

N (input) INTEGER

The order of the block reflector H. N >= 0.

K (input) INTEGER

The order of the triangular factor T (= the number of elementary reflectors). K >= 1.

V (input/output) REAL array, dimension

(LDV,K) if STOREV = 'C' (LDV,N) if STOREV = 'R' The matrix V. See further details.

LDV (input) INTEGER

The leading dimension of the array V. If STOREV = 'C', LDV >= max(1,N); if STOREV = 'R', LDV >= K.

TAU (input) REAL array, dimension (K)

TAU(i) must contain the scalar factor of the elementary reflector H(i).

T (output) REAL array, dimension (LDT,K)

The k by k triangular factor T of the block reflector. If DIRECT = 'F', T is upper triangular; if DIRECT = 'B', T is lower triangular. The rest of the array is not used.

LDT (input) INTEGER

The leading dimension of the array T. LDT >= K.

FURTHER DETAILS¶

Based on contributions by
A. Petitet, Computer Science Dept., Univ. of Tenn., Knoxville, USA The shape of the matrix V and the storage of the vectors which define the H(i) is best illustrated by the following example with n = 5 and k = 3. The elements equal to 1 are not stored; the corresponding array elements are modified but restored on exit. The rest of the array is not used.
DIRECT = 'F' and STOREV = 'C': DIRECT = 'F' and STOREV = 'R':
