PURPOSE
       PZGESVX  uses the LU factorization to compute the solution to a complex
       system   of   linear   equations   A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)   *    X    =
       B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1),  where  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)  is an N-by-N
       matrix and X and B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1) are N-by-NRHS matrices.

       Error bounds on the solution and a condition  estimate  are  also  pro-
       vided.


       Notes
       =====

       Each  global data object is described by an associated description vec-
       tor.  This vector stores the information required to establish the map-
       ping between an object element and its corresponding process and memory
       location.

       Let A be a generic term for any 2D block  cyclicly  distributed  array.
       Such a global array has an associated description vector DESCA.  In the
       following comments, the character _ should be read as  "of  the  global
       array".

       NOTATION        STORED IN      EXPLANATION
       --------------- -------------- --------------------------------------
       DTYPE_A(global) DESCA( DTYPE_ )The descriptor type.  In this case,
                                      DTYPE_A = 1.
       CTXT_A (global) DESCA( CTXT_ ) The BLACS context handle, indicating
                                      the BLACS process grid A is distribu-
                                      ted over. The context itself is glo-
                                      bal, but the handle (the integer
                                      value) may vary.
       M_A    (global) DESCA( M_ )    The number of rows in the global
                                      array A.
       N_A    (global) DESCA( N_ )    The number of columns in the global
                                      array A.
       MB_A   (global) DESCA( MB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
                                      the rows of the array.
       NB_A   (global) DESCA( NB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
                                      the columns of the array.
       RSRC_A (global) DESCA( RSRC_ ) The process row over which the first
                                      row  of  the  array  A  is  distributed.
       CSRC_A (global) DESCA( CSRC_ ) The process column over which the
                                      first column of the array A is
                                      distributed.
       LLD_A  (local)  DESCA( LLD_ )  The leading dimension of the local
                                      array.  LLD_A >= MAX(1,LOCr(M_A)).

       Let K be the number of rows or columns of  a  distributed  matrix,  and
       assume that its process grid has dimension p x q.
       LOCr(  K  )  denotes  the  number of elements of K that a process would
       receive if K were distributed over the p processes of its process  col-
       umn.
       Similarly, LOCc( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process
       would receive if K were distributed over the q processes of its process
       row.
       The  values  of  LOCr()  and LOCc() may be determined via a call to the
       ScaLAPACK tool function, NUMROC:
               LOCr( M ) = NUMROC( M, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ),
               LOCc( N ) = NUMROC( N, NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ).  An  upper
       bound for these quantities may be computed by:
               LOCr( M ) <= ceil( ceil(M/MB_A)/NPROW )*MB_A
               LOCc( N ) <= ceil( ceil(N/NB_A)/NPCOL )*NB_A


DESCRIPTION
       In  the  following  description,  A  denotes  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1), B
       denotes B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1) and X denotes
       X(IX:IX+N-1,JX:JX+NRHS-1).

       The following steps are performed:

       1. If FACT = 'E', real scaling factors are computed to equilibrate
          the system:
             TRANS = 'N':  diag(R)*A*diag(C)     *inv(diag(C))*X = diag(R)*B
             TRANS = 'T': (diag(R)*A*diag(C))**T *inv(diag(R))*X = diag(C)*B
             TRANS = 'C': (diag(R)*A*diag(C))**H *inv(diag(R))*X = diag(C)*B
          Whether or not the system will be equilibrated depends on the
          scaling of the matrix A, but if equilibration is used, A is
          overwritten by diag(R)*A*diag(C) and B by diag(R)*B (if TRANS='N')
          or diag(C)*B (if TRANS = 'T' or 'C').

       2. If FACT = 'N' or 'E', the LU decomposition is used to factor the
          matrix A (after equilibration if FACT = 'E') as
             A = P * L * U,
          where P is a permutation matrix, L is a unit lower triangular
          matrix, and U is upper triangular.

       3. The factored form of A is used to estimate the condition number
          of the matrix A.  If the reciprocal of the condition number is
          less than machine precision, steps 4-6 are skipped.

       4. The system of equations is solved for X using the factored form
          of A.

       5. Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution
          matrix and calculate error bounds and backward error estimates
          for it.

       6. If FACT = 'E' and equilibration was used, the matrix X is
          premultiplied by diag(C) (if TRANS = 'N') or diag(R) (if
          TRANS = 'T' or 'C') so that it solves the original system
          before equilibration.


ARGUMENTS
       FACT    (global input) CHARACTER
               Specifies whether or  not  the  factored  form  of  the  matrix
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) is supplied on entry, and if not,
               whether  the  matrix  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)  should be equili-
               brated  before   it   is   factored.    =   'F':    On   entry,
               AF(IAF:IAF+N-1,JAF:JAF+N-1) and IPIV con-
               tain  the factored form of A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).  If EQUED is
               not 'N', the matrix  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)  has  been  equili-
               brated    with    scaling   factors   given   by   R   and   C.
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1), AF(IAF:IAF+N-1,JAF:JAF+N-1),  and  IPIV
               are  not  modified.   = 'N':  The matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)
               will be copied to
               AF(IAF:IAF+N-1,JAF:JAF+N-1) and factored.
               = 'E':   The  matrix  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)  will  be  equili-
               brated if necessary, then copied to AF(IAF:IAF+N-1,JAF:JAF+N-1)
               and factored.

       TRANS   (global input) CHARACTER
               Specifies the form of the system of equations:
               = 'N':  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) * X(IX:IX+N-1,JX:JX+NRHS-1)
               = B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1)     (No transpose)
               = 'T':  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)**T * X(IX:IX+N-1,JX:JX+NRHS-1)
               = B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1)  (Transpose)
               = 'C':  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)**H * X(IX:IX+N-1,JX:JX+NRHS-1)
               = B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1)  (Conjugate transpose)

       N       (global input) INTEGER
               The number of rows and columns to  be  operated  on,  i.e.  the
               order  of  the distributed submatrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).  N
               >= 0.

       NRHS    (global input) INTEGER
               The number of right-hand sides, i.e., the number of columns  of
               the distributed submatrices B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1) and
               X(IX:IX+N-1,JX:JX+NRHS-1).  NRHS >= 0.

       A       (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer into
               the   local   memory   to   an   array   of   local   dimension
               (LLD_A,LOCc(JA+N-1)).    On   entry,    the    N-by-N    matrix
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED is not 'N',
               then A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) must have been equilibrated by
               the  scaling  factors in R and/or C.  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) is
               not modified if FACT = 'F' or  'N', or if FACT = 'E' and  EQUED
               = 'N' on exit.

               On exit, if EQUED .ne. 'N', A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) is scaled as
               follows:
               EQUED = 'R':  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) :=
               diag(R) * A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)
               EQUED = 'C':  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) :=
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) * diag(C)
               EQUED = 'B':  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) :=
               diag(R) * A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) * diag(C).

               (LLD_AF,LOCc(JA+N-1)).      If     FACT     =     'F',     then
               AF(IAF:IAF+N-1,JAF:JAF+N-1) is an input argument and  on  entry
               contains   the   factors   L   and  U  from  the  factorization
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) = P*L*U  as  computed  by  PZGETRF.   If
               EQUED  .ne.  'N',  then  AF is the factored form of the equili-
               brated matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).

               If FACT = 'N', then AF(IAF:IAF+N-1,JAF:JAF+N-1)  is  an  output
               argument  and on exit returns the factors L and U from the fac-
               torization A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) = P*L*U of the original

               brated matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) (see the description of
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)  for  the  form  of   the   equilibrated
               matrix).

       IPIV    (local input or local output) INTEGER array, dimension
               LOCr(M_A)+MB_A. If FACT = 'F', then IPIV is an input argu- ment
               and on entry contains the pivot indices from the  fac-  toriza-
               tion  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)  =  P*L*U  as computed by PZGETRF;
               IPIV(i) -> The global row local row i was swapped  with.   This
               array must be aligned with A( IA:IA+N-1, * ).

               If FACT = 'N', then IPIV is an output argument and on exit con-
               tains   the    pivot    indices    from    the    factorization
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) = P*L*U of the original matrix
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).

               If FACT = 'E', then IPIV is an output argument and on exit con-
               tains   the    pivot    indices    from    the    factorization
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) = P*L*U of the equilibrated matrix
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).

       EQUED   (global input or global output) CHARACTER
               Specifies  the form of equilibration that was done.  = 'N':  No
               equilibration (always true if FACT = 'N').
               = 'R':  Row  equilibration,  i.e.,  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)  has
               been  premultiplied  by diag(R).  = 'C':  Column equilibration,
               i.e.,  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)  has   been   postmultiplied   by
               diag(C).  = 'B':  Both row and column equilibration, i.e.,
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) has been replaced by
               diag(R)  * A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) * diag(C).  EQUED is an input
               variable if FACT = 'F'; otherwise, it is an output variable.

       R       (local input or local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array,
               dimension   LOCr(M_A).    The    row    scale    factors    for
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).
               If  EQUED = 'R' or 'B', A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) is multiplied on

               R is an input variable if FACT = 'F'; otherwise, R is an output
               variable.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED = 'R' or 'B',  each  element

               umn, and is aligned with the distributed matrix A.

       C       (local input or local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array,
               dimension   LOCc(N_A).    The   column   scale   factors    for
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).
               If  EQUED = 'C' or 'B', A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) is multiplied on
               the right by diag(C); if EQUED = 'N' or 'R', C is not accessed.
               C is an input variable if FACT = 'F'; otherwise, C is an output
               variable.  If FACT = 'F' and EQUED = 'C' or C is replicated  in
               every  process  row, and is aligned with the distributed matrix
               A.

       B       (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer
               into  the  local  memory  to  an  array  of   local   dimension
               (LLD_B,LOCc(JB+NRHS-1)  ).   On entry, the N-by-NRHS right-hand
               side matrix B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1). On exit, if
               EQUED = 'N',  B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1)  is  not  modified;  if
               TRANS  =  'N'  and  EQUED  =  'R'  or  'B', B is overwritten by
               diag(R)*B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1); if TRANS = 'T' or 'C'
               and EQUED = 'C' or 'B', B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1) is over-
               written by diag(C)*B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1).

       IB      (global input) INTEGER
               The row index in the global array B indicating the first row of
               sub( B ).

               The  column  index  in  the global array B indicating the first
               column of sub( B ).

       DESCB   (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
               The array descriptor for the distributed matrix B.

       X       (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer
               into the local memory to an array of  local  dimension  (LLD_X,
               LOCc(JX+NRHS-1)).   If  INFO = 0, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix
               X(IX:IX+N-1,JX:JX+NRHS-1) to the original
               system of equations.  Note that A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) and
               B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1) are modified on exit  if  EQUED  .ne.
               'N',   and   the   solution   to  the  equilibrated  system  is
               inv(diag(C))*X(IX:IX+N-1,JX:JX+NRHS-1) if TRANS = 'N' and EQUED
               =  'C'  or  'B',  or  inv(diag(R))*X(IX:IX+N-1,JX:JX+NRHS-1) if
               TRANS = 'T' or 'C' and EQUED = 'R' or 'B'.

       IX      (global input) INTEGER
               The row index in the global array X indicating the first row of
               sub( X ).

       JX      (global input) INTEGER
               The  column  index  in  the global array X indicating the first
               column of sub( X ).

       DESCX   (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
               The array descriptor for the distributed matrix X.

       RCOND   (global output) DOUBLE PRECISION
               The estimate of the reciprocal condition number of  the  matrix
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) after equilibration (if done).  If RCOND
               is less than the machine precision (in particular, if  RCOND  =
               0),  the  matrix is singular to working precision.  This condi-
               tion is indicated by a return code of INFO > 0.

       FERR    (local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension LOCc(N_B)
               The estimated forward error bounds  for  each  solution  vector
               X(j)    (the    j-th    column    of    the   solution   matrix
               X(IX:IX+N-1,JX:JX+NRHS-1).  If  XTRUE  is  the  true  solution,
               FERR(j)  bounds  the  magnitude of the largest entry in (X(j) -
               XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the largest entry  in  X(j).
               The  estimate  is as reliable as the estimate for RCOND, and is
               almost always a slight overestimate of the true error.  FERR is
               replicated in every process row, and is aligned with the matri-
               ces B and X.

       BERR    (local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension LOCc(N_B).
               The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vec-
               tor  X(j)  (i.e.,  the smallest relative change in any entry of
               A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) or
               B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1) that makes X(j) an  exact  solution).
               BERR  is  replicated  in every process row, and is aligned with
               the matrices B and X.

       WORK    (local workspace/local output) COMPLEX*16 array,
               dimension (LWORK) On exit,  WORK(1)  returns  the  minimal  and
               optimal LWORK.

       LWORK   (local or global input) INTEGER
               The dimension of the array WORK.  LWORK is local input and must
               be at least LWORK = MAX( PZGECON( LWORK ), PZGERFS( LWORK ) ) +
               LOCr( N_A ).

               If LWORK = -1, then LWORK is global input and a workspace query
               is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum and optimal
               size  for  all work arrays. Each of these values is returned in
               the first entry of the corresponding work array, and  no  error
               message is issued by PXERBLA.

       RWORK   (local workspace/local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array,
               dimension  (LRWORK)  On  exit, RWORK(1) returns the minimal and
               optimal LRWORK.

       LRWORK  (local or global input) INTEGER
               The dimension of the array RWORK.  LRWORK is  local  input  and
               must be at least LRWORK = 2*LOCc(N_A).

               If  LRWORK  =  -1,  then LRWORK is global input and a workspace
               query is assumed; the routine only calculates the  minimum  and
               optimal  size  for  all  work  arrays.  Each of these values is
               returned in the first entry of the  corresponding  work  array,
               and no error message is issued by PXERBLA.

       INFO    (global output) INTEGER
               = 0:  successful exit
               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
               > 0:  if INFO = i, and i is
               <= N:  U(IA+I-1,IA+I-1) is exactly zero.  The factorization has
               been completed, but the factor U is exactly  singular,  so  the
               solution  and error bounds could not be computed.  = N+1: RCOND
               is less than machine precision.   The  factorization  has  been
               completed, but the matrix is singular to working precision, and
               the solution and error bounds have not been computed.
