**CLAED8** used by CSTEDC. Merges eigenvalues and deflates secular equation. Used when the original matrix is dense.

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> CLAED8 merges the two sets of eigenvalues together into a single
!> sorted set.  Then it tries to deflate the size of the problem.
!> There are two ways in which deflation can occur:  when two or more
!> eigenvalues are close together or if there is a tiny element in the
!> Z vector.  For each such occurrence the order of the related secular
!> equation problem is reduced by one.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*K*

```
!>          K is INTEGER
!>         Contains the number of non-deflated eigenvalues.
!>         This is the order of the related secular equation.
!>
```

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>         The dimension of the symmetric tridiagonal matrix.  N >= 0.

```
!>          QSIZ is INTEGER
!>         The dimension of the unitary matrix used to reduce
!>         the dense or band matrix to tridiagonal form.
!>         QSIZ >= N if ICOMPQ = 1.
!>
```

*Q*

```
!>          Q is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDQ,N)
!>         On entry, Q contains the eigenvectors of the partially solved
!>         system which has been previously updated in matrix
!>         multiplies with other partially solved eigensystems.
!>         On exit, Q contains the trailing (N-K) updated eigenvectors
!>         (those which were deflated) in its last N-K columns.
!>
```

*LDQ*

```
!>          LDQ is INTEGER
!>         The leading dimension of the array Q.  LDQ >= max( 1, N ).
!>
```

*D*

```
!>          D is REAL array, dimension (N)
!>         On entry, D contains the eigenvalues of the two submatrices to
!>         be combined.  On exit, D contains the trailing (N-K) updated
!>         eigenvalues (those which were deflated) sorted into increasing
!>         order.
!>
```

*RHO*

```
!>          RHO is REAL
!>         Contains the off diagonal element associated with the rank-1
!>         cut which originally split the two submatrices which are now
!>         being recombined. RHO is modified during the computation to
!>         the value required by SLAED3.
!>
```

*CUTPNT*

```
!>          CUTPNT is INTEGER
!>         Contains the location of the last eigenvalue in the leading
!>         sub-matrix.  MIN(1,N) <= CUTPNT <= N.
!>
```

*Z*

```
!>          Z is REAL array, dimension (N)
!>         On input this vector contains the updating vector (the last
!>         row of the first sub-eigenvector matrix and the first row of
!>         the second sub-eigenvector matrix).  The contents of Z are
!>         destroyed during the updating process.

!>         by SLAED7 in a matrix multiply (SGEMM) to update the new
!>         eigenvectors.

!>         This will contain the permutation used to place deflated
!>         values of D at the end of the array. On output INDXP(1:K)
!>         points to the nondeflated D-values and INDXP(K+1:N)
!>         points to the deflated eigenvalues.
!>
```

!>          INDXQ is INTEGER array, dimension (N)
!>         This contains the permutation which separately sorts the two
!>         sub-problems in D into ascending order.  Note that elements in
!>         the second half of this permutation must first have CUTPNT
!>         added to their values in order to be accurate.
!>
```

*PERM*

```
!>          PERM is INTEGER array, dimension (N)
