SSBTRD
   November 2006
Purpose
SSBTRD reduces a real symmetric band matrix A to symmetric
tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal similarity transformation:
Q**T * A * Q = T.
tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal similarity transformation:
Q**T * A * Q = T.
Arguments
| VECT | 
 
(input) CHARACTER*1
 
= 'N':  do not form Q; 
= 'V': form Q; = 'U': update a matrix X, by forming X*Q.  | 
| 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. 
 | 
| KD | 
 
(input) INTEGER
 
The number of superdiagonals of the matrix A if UPLO = 'U', 
or the number of subdiagonals if UPLO = 'L'. KD >= 0.  | 
| AB | 
 
(input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDAB,N)
 
On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the symmetric 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). On exit, the diagonal elements of AB are overwritten by the diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T; if KD > 0, the elements on the first superdiagonal (if UPLO = 'U') or the first subdiagonal (if UPLO = 'L') are overwritten by the off-diagonal elements of T; the rest of AB is overwritten by values generated during the reduction.  | 
| LDAB | 
 
(input) INTEGER
 
The leading dimension of the array AB.  LDAB >= KD+1. 
 | 
| D | 
 
(output) REAL array, dimension (N)
 
The diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T. 
 | 
| E | 
 
(output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
 
The off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T: 
E(i) = T(i,i+1) if UPLO = 'U'; E(i) = T(i+1,i) if UPLO = 'L'.  | 
| Q | 
 
(input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDQ,N)
 
On entry, if VECT = 'U', then Q must contain an N-by-N 
matrix X; if VECT = 'N' or 'V', then Q need not be set. On exit: if VECT = 'V', Q contains the N-by-N orthogonal matrix Q; if VECT = 'U', Q contains the product X*Q; if VECT = 'N', the array Q is not referenced.  | 
| LDQ | 
 
(input) INTEGER
 
The leading dimension of the array Q. 
LDQ >= 1, and LDQ >= N if VECT = 'V' or 'U'.  | 
| WORK | 
 
(workspace) REAL array, dimension (N)
 
 | 
| INFO | 
 
(output) INTEGER
 
= 0:  successful exit 
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value  |
