SSYTRD - reduce a real symmetric matrix A to real symmetric tridiagonal
form T by an orthogonal similarity transformation
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE SSYTRD( UPLO, N, A, LDA, D, E, TAU, WORK, LWORK, INFO )
CHARACTER UPLO
INTEGER INFO, LDA, LWORK, N
REAL A( LDA, * ), D( * ), E( * ), TAU( * ), WORK( * )
PURPOSE
SSYTRD reduces a real symmetric matrix A to real symmetric tridiagonal
form T by an orthogonal similarity transformation: Q**T * A * Q = T.
ARGUMENTS
UPLO (input) CHARACTER*1
= 'U': Upper triangle of A is stored;
= 'L': Lower triangle of A is stored.
N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
A (input/output) REAL 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 UPLO = 'U', the diagonal and first
superdiagonal of A are overwritten by the corresponding ele‐
ments of the tridiagonal matrix T, and the elements above the
first superdiagonal, with the array TAU, represent the orthogo‐
nal matrix Q as a product of elementary reflectors; if UPLO =
'L', the diagonal and first subdiagonal of A are over- written
by the corresponding elements of the tridiagonal matrix T, and
the elements below the first subdiagonal, with the array TAU,
represent the orthogonal matrix Q as a product of elementary
reflectors. See Further Details. LDA (input) INTEGER The
leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N).
D (output) REAL array, dimension (N)
The diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T: D(i) =
A(i,i).
E (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
The off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T: E(i) =
A(i,i+1) if UPLO = 'U', E(i) = A(i+1,i) if UPLO = 'L'.
TAU (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors (see Further
Details).
WORK (workspace/output) REAL array, dimension (LWORK)
On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.
LWORK (input) INTEGER
The dimension of the array WORK. LWORK >= 1. For optimum per‐
formance LWORK >= N*NB, where NB is the optimal blocksize.
If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine
only calculates the optimal size of the WORK array, returns
this value as the first entry of the WORK array, and no error
message related to LWORK is issued by XERBLA.
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
FURTHER DETAILS
If UPLO = 'U', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
reflectors
Q = H(n-1) . . . H(2)H(1).
Each H(i) has the form
H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
v(i+1:n) = 0 and v(i) = 1; v(1:i-1) is stored on exit in
A(1:i-1,i+1), and tau in TAU(i).
If UPLO = 'L', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
reflectors
Q = H(1)H(2) . . . H(n-1).
Each H(i) has the form
H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
v(1:i) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+2:n) is stored on exit in A(i+2:n,i),
and tau in TAU(i).
The contents of A on exit are illustrated by the following examples
with n = 5:
if UPLO = 'U': if UPLO = 'L':
( d e v2 v3 v4 ) ( d )
( d e v3 v4 ) ( e d )
( d e v4 ) ( v1 e d )
( d e ) ( v1 v2 e d )
( d ) ( v1 v2 v3 e d )
where d and e denote diagonal and off-diagonal elements of T, and vi
denotes an element of the vector defining H(i).
