NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     CPBFA   - CPBFA factors a complex Hermitian positive definite matrix
     stored in band form.

     CPBFA is usually called by	CPBCO, but it can be called directly with a
     saving in time if	RCOND  is not needed.

      SUBROUTINE CPBFA(ABD,LDA,N,M,INFO)

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     On	Entry

     ABD COMPLEX(LDA, N)
	the matrix to be factored.  The	columns	of the upper
	triangle are stored in the columns of ABD and the
	diagonals of the upper triangle	are stored in the
	rows of	ABD .  See the comments	below for details.

     LDA INTEGER
	the leading dimension of the array  ABD	.
	LDA must be .GE. M + 1 .

     N INTEGER
	the order of the matrix	 A .

     M INTEGER
	the number of diagonals	above the main diagonal.
	0 .LE. M .LT. N	.  On Return

     ABD an upper triangular matrix  R , stored	in band
	form, so that  A = CTRANS(R)*R .

     INFO INTEGER
	= 0  for normal	return.
	= K  if	the leading minor of order  K  is not
	positive definite.  Band Storage
	If  A  is a Hermitian positive definite	band matrix,
	the following program segment will set up the input.
	M = (band width	above diagonal)
	DO 20 J	= 1, N
	I1 = MAX0(1, J-M)
	DO 10 I	= I1, J
	K = I-J+M+1
	ABD(K,J) = A(I,J)
