SLANEG computes the Sturm count, the number of negative pivots


 encountered while factoring tridiagonal T - sigma I = L D L^T.


 This implementation works directly on the factors without forming


 the tridiagonal matrix T.  The Sturm count is also the number of


 eigenvalues of T less than sigma.


 This routine is called from SLARRB.


 The current routine does not use the PIVMIN parameter but rather


 requires IEEE-754 propagation of Infinities and NaNs.  This


 routine also has no input range restrictions but does require


 default exception handling such that x/0 produces Inf when x is


 non-zero, and Inf/Inf produces NaN.  For more information, see:

N

          N is INTEGER


          The order of the matrix.

D

          D is REAL array, dimension (N)


          The N diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D.

LLD

          LLD is REAL array, dimension (N-1)


          The (N-1) elements L(i)*L(i)*D(i).

SIGMA

          SIGMA is REAL


          Shift amount in T - sigma I = L D L^T.

PIVMIN

          PIVMIN is REAL


          The minimum pivot in the Sturm sequence.  May be used


          when zero pivots are encountered on non-IEEE-754


          architectures.

R

          R is INTEGER


          The twist index for the twisted factorization that is used


          for the negcount.
