DTPSV(3)        BLAS routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection        DTPSV(3)



NAME
       DTPSV - solve one of the systems of equations   A*x = b, A'*x = b

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE DTPSV ( UPLO, TRANS, DIAG, N, AP, X, INCX )

           INTEGER      INCX, N

           CHARACTER*1  DIAG, TRANS, UPLO

           DOUBLE       PRECISION AP( * ), X( * )

PURPOSE
       DTPSV  solves one of the systems of equations
          A*x = b
       or
          A'*x = b
       where  b  and  x are n element vectors and A is an n by n unit, or non-
       unit, upper or lower triangular matrix, supplied in packed form.

       No test for singularity or near-singularity is included  in  this  rou-
       tine. Such tests must be performed before calling this routine.


PARAMETERS
       UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
              On entry, UPLO specifies whether the matrix is an upper or lower
              triangular matrix as follows:

              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   A is an upper triangular matrix.

              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   A is a lower triangular matrix.

              Unchanged on exit.

       TRANS  - CHARACTER*1.
              On entry, TRANS specifies the equations to be solved as follows:

              TRANS = 'N' or 'n'   A*x = b.

              TRANS = 'T' or 't'   A'*x = b.

              TRANS = 'C' or 'c'   A'*x = b.

              Unchanged on exit.

       DIAG   - CHARACTER*1.
              On  entry, DIAG specifies whether or not A is unit triangular as
              follows:

              DIAG = 'U' or 'u'   A is assumed to be unit triangular.

              DIAG = 'N' or 'n'   A is not assumed to be unit triangular.

              Unchanged on exit.

       N      - INTEGER.
              On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A.  N must  be  at
              least zero.  Unchanged on exit.

       AP     - DOUBLE PRECISION array of DIMENSION at least
              (  (  n*(  n + 1 ) )/2 ).  Before entry with  UPLO = 'U' or 'u',
              the array AP must contain the  upper  triangular  matrix  packed
              sequentially, column by column, so that AP( 1 ) contains a( 1, 1
              ), AP( 2 ) and AP( 3 ) contain a( 1, 2 ) and a( 2, 2  )  respec-
              tively,  and  so  on.   Before entry with UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the
              array AP must contain the lower triangular matrix packed sequen-
              tially,  column  by  column, so that AP( 1 ) contains a( 1, 1 ),
              AP( 2 ) and AP( 3 ) contain a( 2, 1 ) and  a(  3,  1  )  respec-
              tively, and so on.  Note that when  DIAG = 'U' or 'u', the diag-
              onal elements of A are not referenced, but  are  assumed  to  be
              unity.  Unchanged on exit.

       X      - DOUBLE PRECISION array of dimension at least
              (  1  +  ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ).  Before entry, the incremented
              array X must contain the n element right-hand side vector b.  On
              exit, X is overwritten with the solution vector x.

       INCX   - INTEGER.
              On  entry,  INCX  specifies the increment for the elements of X.
              INCX must not be zero.  Unchanged on exit.
