DPBSV(l)	     LAPACK driver routine (version 1.1)	     DPBSV(l)

NAME
  DPBSV	- compute the solution to a real system	of linear equations  A * X =
  B,

SYNOPSIS

  SUBROUTINE DPBSV( UPLO, N, KD, NRHS, AB, LDAB, B, LDB, INFO )

      CHARACTER	    UPLO

      INTEGER	    INFO, KD, LDAB, LDB, N, NRHS

      DOUBLE	    PRECISION AB( LDAB,	* ), B(	LDB, * )

PURPOSE
  DPBSV	computes the solution to a real	system of linear equations
     A * X = B,	where A	is an N-by-N symmetric positive	definite band matrix
  and X	and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.

  The Cholesky decomposition is	used to	factor A as
     A = U**T *	U,  if UPLO = 'U', or
     A = L * L**T,  if UPLO = 'L',
  where	U is an	upper triangular matrix, and L is a lower triangular matrix,
  with the same	number of superdiagonals or subdiagonals as A.	The factored
  form of A is then used to solve the system of	equations A * X	= B.

ARGUMENTS

  UPLO	  (input) CHARACTER*1
	  = 'U':  Upper	triangle of A is stored;
	  = 'L':  Lower	triangle of A is stored.

  N	  (input) INTEGER
	  The number of	linear equations, i.e.,	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.

  NRHS	  (input) INTEGER
	  The number of	right hand sides, i.e.,	the number of columns of the
	  matrix B.  NRHS >= 0.

  AB	  (input/output) DOUBLE	PRECISION 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).  See below for
	  further details.

	  On exit, if INFO = 0,	the triangular factor U	or L from the Chole-
	  sky factorization A =	U**T*U or A = L*L**T of	the band matrix	A, in
	  the same storage format as A.

  LDAB	  (input) INTEGER
	  The leading dimension	of the array AB.  LDAB >= KD+1.

  B	  (input/output) DOUBLE	PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
	  On entry, the	N-by-NRHS right	hand side matrix B.  On	exit, if INFO
	  = 0, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.

  LDB	  (input) INTEGER
	  The leading dimension	of the array B.	 LDB >=	max(1,N).

  INFO	  (output) INTEGER
	  = 0:	successful exit
	  < 0:	if INFO	= -i, the i-th argument	had an illegal value
	  > 0:	if INFO	= i, the leading minor of order	i of A is not posi-
	  tive definite, so the	factorization could not	be completed, and the
	  solution has not been	computed.

FURTHER	DETAILS
  The band storage scheme is illustrated by the	following example, when	N =
  6, KD	= 2, and UPLO =	'U':

  On entry:			  On exit:

      *	   *   a13  a24	 a35  a46      *    *	u13  u24  u35  u46
      *	  a12  a23  a34	 a45  a56      *   u12	u23  u34  u45  u56
     a11  a22  a33  a44	 a55  a66     u11  u22	u33  u44  u55  u66

  Similarly, if	UPLO = 'L' the format of A is as follows:

  On entry:			  On exit:

     a11  a22  a33  a44	 a55  a66     l11  l22	l33  l44  l55  l66
     a21  a32  a43  a54	 a65   *      l21  l32	l43  l54  l65	*
     a31  a42  a53  a64	  *    *      l31  l42	l53  l64   *	*

  Array	elements marked	* are not used by the routine.
