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.

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.

NRHS

          NRHS is INTEGER


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


          of the matrix B.  NRHS >= 0.

A

          A is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)


          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.

LDA

          LDA is INTEGER


          The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).

B

          B is DOUBLE PRECISION 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.
