ZTPRFS provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the


 solution to a system of linear equations with a triangular packed


 coefficient matrix.


 The solution matrix X must be computed by ZTPTRS or some other


 means before entering this routine.  ZTPRFS does not do iterative


 refinement because doing so cannot improve the backward error.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1


          = 'U':  A is upper triangular;


          = 'L':  A is lower triangular.

TRANS

          TRANS is CHARACTER*1


          Specifies the form of the system of equations:


          = 'N':  A * X = B     (No transpose)


          = 'T':  A**T * X = B  (Transpose)


          = 'C':  A**H * X = B  (Conjugate transpose)

DIAG

          DIAG is CHARACTER*1


          = 'N':  A is non-unit triangular;


          = 'U':  A is unit triangular.

N

          N is INTEGER


          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 matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

AP

          AP is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)


          The upper or lower triangular matrix A, packed columnwise in


          a linear array.  The j-th column of A is stored in the array


          AP as follows:


          if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j;


          if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.


          If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are not referenced


          and are assumed to be 1.

B

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


          The solution matrix X.

LDX

          LDX is INTEGER


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

FERR

          FERR is DOUBLE PRECISION 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 DOUBLE PRECISION 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*16 array, dimension (2*N)

RWORK

          RWORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)

INFO

          INFO is INTEGER


          = 0:  successful exit


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