1  Purpose

F07JDF (DPTTRF) computes the modified Cholesky factorization of a real n  by n  symmetric positive definite tridiagonal matrix A .

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F07JDF ( N, D, E, INFO)
INTEGER  N, INFO
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  D(*), E(*)
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name dpttrf.

3  Description

F07JDF (DPTTRF) factorizes the matrix A  as
A=LDLT ,
where L  is a unit lower bidiagonal matrix and D  is a diagonal matrix with positive diagonal elements. The factorization may also be regarded as having the form UTDU , where U  is a unit upper bidiagonal matrix.

4  References

None.

5  Parameters

1:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: N0.
2:     D(*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the dimension of the array D must be at least max1,N.
On entry: must contain the n diagonal elements of the matrix A.
On exit: is overwritten by the n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D from the LDLT factorization of A.
3:     E(*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the dimension of the array E must be at least max1,N-1.
On entry: must contain the n-1 subdiagonal elements of the matrix A.
On exit: is overwritten by the n-1 subdiagonal elements of the lower bidiagonal matrix L. (E can also be regarded as containing the n-1 superdiagonal elements of the upper bidiagonal matrix U.)
4:     INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit: INFO=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
INFO<0
If INFO=-i, the ith argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
INFO>0
If INFO=i, the leading minor of order i is not positive definite. If i<N, the factorization could not be completed, while if i=N, the factorization was completed, but DN0.

7  Accuracy

The computed factorization satisfies an equation of the form
A+E=LDLT ,
where
E=OεA
and ε  is the machine precision.
Following the use of this routine, F07JEF (DPTTRS) can be used to solve systems of equations AX=B , and F07JGF (DPTCON) can be used to estimate the condition number of A .

8  Further Comments

The total number of floating point operations required to factorize the matrix A  is proportional to n .
The complex analogue of this routine is F07JRF (ZPTTRF).
