## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

subroutine **dorgbr** (vect, m, n, k, a, lda, tau, work, lwork, info)\
 **DORGBR**

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine dorgbr (character vect, integer m, integer n, integer k, double precision, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, double precision, dimension( \* ) tau, double precision, dimension( \* ) work, integer lwork, integer info)

**DORGBR**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> DORGBR generates one of the real orthogonal matrices Q or P**T
!> determined by DGEBRD when reducing a real matrix A to bidiagonal
!> form: A = Q * B * P**T.  Q and P**T are defined as products of
!> elementary reflectors H(i) or G(i) respectively.
!>
!> If VECT = 'Q', A is assumed to have been an M-by-K matrix, and Q
!> is of order M:
!> if m >= k, Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(k) and DORGBR returns the first n
!> columns of Q, where m >= n >= k;
!> if m < k, Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(m-1) and DORGBR returns Q as an
!> M-by-M matrix.
!>
!> If VECT = 'P', A is assumed to have been a K-by-N matrix, and P**T
!> is of order N:
!> if k < n, P**T = G(k) . . . G(2) G(1) and DORGBR returns the first m
!> rows of P**T, where n >= m >= k;
!> if k >= n, P**T = G(n-1) . . . G(2) G(1) and DORGBR returns P**T as
!> an N-by-N matrix.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*VECT*

```
!>          VECT is CHARACTER*1
!>          Specifies whether the matrix Q or the matrix P**T is
!>          required, as defined in the transformation applied by DGEBRD:
!>          = 'Q':  generate Q;
!>          = 'P':  generate P**T.
!>
```

*M*

```
!>          M is INTEGER
!>          The number of rows of the matrix Q or P**T to be returned.
!>          M >= 0.
!>
```

*N*

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>          The number of columns of the matrix Q or P**T to be returned.
!>          N >= 0.
!>          If VECT = 'Q', M >= N >= min(M,K);
!>          if VECT = 'P', N >= M >= min(N,K).
!>
```

*K*

```
!>          K is INTEGER
!>          If VECT = 'Q', the number of columns in the original M-by-K
!>          matrix reduced by DGEBRD.
!>          If VECT = 'P', the number of rows in the original K-by-N
!>          matrix reduced by DGEBRD.
!>          K >= 0.
!>
```

*A*

```
!>          A is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
!>          On entry, the vectors which define the elementary reflectors,
!>          as returned by DGEBRD.
!>          On exit, the M-by-N matrix Q or P**T.
!>
```

*LDA*

```
!>          LDA is INTEGER
!>          The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,M).
!>
```

*TAU*

```
!>          TAU is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension
!>                                (min(M,K)) if VECT = 'Q'
!>                                (min(N,K)) if VECT = 'P'
!>          TAU(i) must contain the scalar factor of the elementary
!>          reflector H(i) or G(i), which determines Q or P**T, as
!>          returned by DGEBRD in its array argument TAUQ or TAUP.
!>
```

*WORK*

```
!>          WORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))
!>          On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.
!>
```

*LWORK*

```
!>          LWORK is INTEGER
!>          The dimension of the array WORK. LWORK >= max(1,min(M,N)).
!>          For optimum performance LWORK >= min(M,N)*NB, where NB
!>          is the optimal blocksize.
!>
!>          If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine
!>          only calculates the optimal size of the WORK array, returns
!>          this value as the first entry of the WORK array, and no error
!>          message related to LWORK is issued by XERBLA.
!>
```

*INFO*

```
!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>          = 0:  successful exit
!>          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
!>
