STRRFS(l)		LAPACK routine (version	1.1)		    STRRFS(l)

NAME
  STRRFS - provide error bounds	and backward error estimates for the solution
  to a system of linear	equations with a triangular coefficient	matrix

SYNOPSIS

  SUBROUTINE STRRFS( UPLO, TRANS, DIAG,	N, NRHS, A, LDA, B, LDB, X, LDX,
		     FERR, BERR, WORK, IWORK, INFO )

      CHARACTER	     DIAG, TRANS, UPLO

      INTEGER	     INFO, LDA,	LDB, LDX, N, NRHS

      INTEGER	     IWORK( * )

      REAL	     A(	LDA, * ), B( LDB, * ), BERR( * ), FERR(	* ), WORK( *
		     ),	X( LDX,	* )

PURPOSE
  STRRFS provides error	bounds and backward error estimates for	the solution
  to a system of linear	equations with a triangular coefficient	matrix.

  The solution matrix X	must be	computed by STRTRS or some other means before
  entering this	routine.  STRRFS does not do iterative refinement because
  doing	so cannot improve the backward error.

ARGUMENTS

  UPLO	  (input) CHARACTER*1
	  = 'U':  A is upper triangular;
	  = 'L':  A is lower triangular.

  TRANS	  (input) CHARACTER*1
	  Specifies the	form of	the system of equations:
	  = 'N':  A * X	= B  (No transpose)
	  = 'T':  A**T * X = B	(Transpose)
	  = 'C':  A**H * X = B	(Conjugate transpose = Transpose)

  DIAG	  (input) CHARACTER*1
	  = 'N':  A is non-unit	triangular;
	  = 'U':  A is unit triangular.

  N	  (input) INTEGER
	  The order of the matrix A.  N	>= 0.

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

  A	  (input) REAL array, dimension	(LDA,N)
	  The triangular matrix	A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N upper
	  triangular part of the array A contains the upper triangular
	  matrix, and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not refer-
	  enced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower triangular part of
	  the array A contains the lower triangular matrix, and	the strictly
	  upper	triangular part	of A is	not referenced.	 If DIAG = 'U',	the
	  diagonal elements of A are also not referenced and are assumed to
	  be 1.

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

  B	  (input) REAL array, dimension	(LDB,NRHS)
	  The right hand side matrix B.

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

  X	  (input) REAL array, dimension	(LDX,NRHS)
	  The solution matrix X.

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

  FERR	  (output) REAL	array, dimension (NRHS)
	  The estimated	forward	error bounds for each solution vector X(j)
	  (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).  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 quality of	the error bound	depends	on the quality of the
	  estimate of norm(inv(A)) computed in the code; if the	estimate of
	  norm(inv(A)) is accurate, the	error bound is guaranteed.

  BERR	  (output) REAL	array, dimension (NRHS)
	  The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vector
	  X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any entry	of A or	B
	  that makes X(j) an exact solution).

  WORK	  (workspace) REAL array, dimension (3*N)

  IWORK	  (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)

  INFO	  (output) INTEGER
	  = 0:	successful exit
	  < 0:	if INFO	= -i, the i-th argument	had an illegal value
