CPBRFS improves the computed solution to a system of linear


 equations when the coefficient matrix is Hermitian positive definite


 and banded, and provides error bounds and backward error estimates


 for the solution.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1


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


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

N

          N is INTEGER


          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 matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

AB

          AB is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDAB,N)


          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).

LDAB

          LDAB is INTEGER


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

AFB

          AFB is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDAFB,N)


          The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization


          A = U**H*U or A = L*L**H of the band matrix A as computed by


          CPBTRF, in the same storage format as A (see AB).

LDAFB

          LDAFB is INTEGER


          The leading dimension of the array AFB.  LDAFB >= KD+1.

B

          B is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)


          The right hand side matrix B.

LDB

          LDB is INTEGER


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

X

          X is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)


          On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by CPBTRS.


          On exit, the improved solution matrix X.

LDX

          LDX is INTEGER


          The leading dimension of the array X.  LDX >= max(1,N).

FERR

          FERR is REAL array, dimension (NRHS)


          The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector


          X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).


          If XTRUE is the true solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j)


          is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest


          element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the


          largest element in X(j).  The estimate is as reliable as


          the estimate for RCOND, and is almost always a slight


          overestimate of the true error.

BERR

          BERR is REAL array, dimension (NRHS)


          The componentwise relative backward error of each solution


          vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in


          any element of A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).

WORK

          WORK is COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N)

RWORK

          RWORK is REAL array, dimension (N)

INFO

          INFO is INTEGER


          = 0:  successful exit


          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value

  ITMAX is the maximum number of steps of iterative refinement.
