## NAME

CTFSM - 3 BLAS like routine for A in RFP Format

## SYNOPSIS

- SUBROUTINE CTFSM(

  TRANSR, SIDE, UPLO, TRANS, DIAG, M, N, ALPHA, A,

- \+

  B, LDB )

- CHARACTER

  TRANSR, DIAG, SIDE, TRANS, UPLO

- INTEGER

  LDB, M, N

- COMPLEX

  ALPHA

- COMPLEX

  A( 0: \* ), B( 0: LDB-1, 0: \* )

## PURPOSE

Level 3 BLAS like routine for A in RFP Format. CTFSM solves the matrix equation\
\
    op( A )\*X = alpha\*B  or  X\*op( A ) = alpha\*B\
 where alpha is a scalar, X and B are m by n matrices, A is a unit, or non-unit,  upper or lower triangular matrix  and  op( A )  is one  of\
    op( A ) = A   or   op( A ) = conjg( A' ).\
 A is in Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) Format.\
 The matrix X is overwritten on B.\

## ARGUMENTS

TRANSR - (input) CHARACTER = 'N':  The Normal Form of RFP A is stored;\
 \= 'C':  The Conjugate-transpose Form of RFP A is stored.

- SIDE - (input) CHARACTER

  On entry, SIDE specifies whether op( A ) appears on the left or right of X as follows: SIDE = 'L' or 'l'   op( A )\*X = alpha\*B. SIDE = 'R' or 'r'   X\*op( A ) = alpha\*B. Unchanged on exit.

- UPLO - (input) CHARACTER

  On entry, UPLO specifies whether the RFP matrix A came from an upper or lower triangular matrix as follows: UPLO = 'U' or 'u' RFP A came from an upper triangular matrix UPLO = 'L' or 'l' RFP A came from a  lower triangular matrix Unchanged on exit.

- TRANS - (input) CHARACTER

  On entry, TRANS  specifies the form of op( A ) to be used in the matrix multiplication as follows:

- TRANS = 'N' or 'n' op( A ) = A.

  - TRANS = 'C' or 'c' op( A ) = conjg( A' ).

  Unchanged on exit.

- DIAG - (input) CHARACTER

  On entry, DIAG specifies whether or not RFP A is unit triangular as follows: DIAG = 'U' or 'u'   A is assumed to be unit triangular. DIAG = 'N' or 'n'   A is not assumed to be unit triangular. Unchanged on exit.

- M - (input) INTEGER.

  On entry, M specifies the number of rows of B. M must be at least zero. Unchanged on exit.

- N - (input) INTEGER.

  On entry, N specifies the number of columns of B.  N must be at least zero. Unchanged on exit.

- ALPHA - (input) COMPLEX.

  On entry,  ALPHA specifies the scalar  alpha. When  alpha is zero then  A is not referenced and  B need not be set before entry. Unchanged on exit.

- A - (input) COMPLEX array, dimension ( N\*(N+1)/2 );

  NT = N\*(N+1)/2. On entry, the matrix A in RFP Format. RFP Format is described by TRANSR, UPLO and N as follows:\
   If TRANSR='N' then RFP A is (0:N,0:K-1) when N is even;\
   K=N/2. RFP A is (0:N-1,0:K) when N is odd; K=N/2. If TRANSR = 'C' then RFP is the Conjugate-transpose of RFP A as defined when TRANSR = 'N'. The contents of RFP A are defined by UPLO as follows: If UPLO = 'U' the RFP A contains the NT elements of upper packed A either in normal or conjugate-transpose Format. If UPLO = 'L' the RFP A contains the NT elements of lower packed A either in normal or conjugate-transpose Format. The LDA of RFP A is (N+1)/2 when TRANSR = 'C'. When TRANSR is 'N' the LDA is N+1 when N is even and is N when is odd. See the Note below for more details. Unchanged on exit.

- B - (input/ouptut) COMPLEX array, DIMENSION ( LDB, N )

  Before entry,  the leading  m by n part of the array  B must contain  the  right-hand  side  matrix  B,  and  on exit  is overwritten by the solution matrix  X.

- LDB - (input) INTEGER.

  On entry, LDB specifies the first dimension of B as declared in  the  calling  (sub)  program.   LDB  must  be  at  least max( 1, m ). Unchanged on exit.

## FURTHER DETAILS

We first consider Standard Packed Format when N is even.\
 We give an example where N = 6.\

 Let TRANSR = 'N'. RFP holds AP as follows:\
 For UPLO = 'U' the upper trapezoid A(0:5,0:2) consists of the last three columns of AP upper. The lower triangle A(4:6,0:2) consists of conjugate-transpose of the first three columns of AP upper. For UPLO = 'L' the lower trapezoid A(1:6,0:2) consists of the first three columns of AP lower. The upper triangle A(0:2,0:2) consists of conjugate-transpose of the last three columns of AP lower. To denote conjugate we place -- above the element. This covers the case N even and TRANSR = 'N'.\

 Now let TRANSR = 'C'. RFP A in both UPLO cases is just the conjugate- transpose of RFP A above. One therefore gets:\

For UPLO = 'L' the lower trapezoid A(0:4,0:2) consists of the first three columns of AP lower. The upper triangle A(0:1,1:2) consists of conjugate-transpose of the last two   columns of AP lower. To denote conjugate we place -- above the element. This covers the case N odd  and TRANSR = 'N'.\
