ZPBSV computes the solution to a complex system of linear equations


    A * X = B,


 where A is an N-by-N Hermitian positive definite band matrix and X


 and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.


 The Cholesky decomposition is used to factor A as


    A = U**H * U,  if UPLO = 'U', or


    A = L * L**H,  if UPLO = 'L',


 where U is an upper triangular band matrix, and L is a lower


 triangular band matrix, with the same number of superdiagonals or


 subdiagonals as A.  The factored form of A is then used to solve the


 system of equations A * X = B.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1


          = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;


          = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

N

          N is INTEGER


          The number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the


          matrix A.  N >= 0.

KD

          KD is INTEGER


          The number of superdiagonals of the matrix A if UPLO = 'U',


          or the number of subdiagonals if UPLO = 'L'.  KD >= 0.

NRHS

          NRHS is INTEGER


          The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns


          of the matrix B.  NRHS >= 0.

AB

          AB is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAB,N)


          On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the Hermitian 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).


          See below for further details.


          On exit, if INFO = 0, the triangular factor U or L from the


          Cholesky factorization A = U**H *U or A = L*L**H of the band


          matrix A, in the same storage format as A.

LDAB

          LDAB is INTEGER


          The leading dimension of the array AB.  LDAB >= KD+1.

B

          B is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)


          On entry, the N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B.


          On exit, if INFO = 0, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.

LDB

          LDB is INTEGER


          The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).

INFO

          INFO is INTEGER


          = 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.

  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   *    *
