# dormtr(3lapack)

overwrites the general real M-by-N matrix C with SIDE = 'L' SIDE = 'R' TRANS = 'N'

## NAME

DORMTR - overwrites the general real M-by-N matrix C with   SIDE = 'L' SIDE = 'R' TRANS = 'N'

## SYNOPSIS

- SUBROUTINE DORMTR(

  SIDE, UPLO, TRANS, M, N, A, LDA, TAU, C, LDC, WORK, LWORK, INFO )

- CHARACTER

  SIDE, TRANS, UPLO

- INTEGER

  INFO, LDA, LDC, LWORK, M, N

- DOUBLE

  PRECISION A( LDA, \* ), C( LDC, \* ), TAU( \* ), WORK( \* )

## PURPOSE

DORMTR overwrites the general real M-by-N matrix C with TRANS = 'T':      Q\*\*T \* C       C \* Q\*\*T\
 where Q is a real orthogonal matrix of order nq, with nq = m if SIDE = 'L' and nq = n if SIDE = 'R'. Q is defined as the product of nq-1 elementary reflectors, as returned by DSYTRD:\
 if UPLO = 'U', Q = H(nq-1) . . . H(2) H(1);\
 if UPLO = 'L', Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(nq-1).\

## ARGUMENTS

- SIDE (input) CHARACTER\*1

  \= 'L': apply Q or Q\*\*T from the Left;\
   \= 'R': apply Q or Q\*\*T from the Right.

- UPLO (input) CHARACTER\*1

  \= 'U': Upper triangle of A contains elementary reflectors from DSYTRD; = 'L': Lower triangle of A contains elementary reflectors from DSYTRD.

- TRANS (input) CHARACTER\*1

  \= 'N':  No transpose, apply Q;\
   \= 'T':  Transpose, apply Q\*\*T.

- M (input) INTEGER

  The number of rows of the matrix C. M \>= 0.

- N (input) INTEGER

  The number of columns of the matrix C. N \>= 0.

- A (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension

  (LDA,M) if SIDE = 'L' (LDA,N) if SIDE = 'R' The vectors which define the elementary reflectors, as returned by DSYTRD.

- LDA (input) INTEGER

  The leading dimension of the array A. LDA \>= max(1,M) if SIDE = 'L'; LDA \>= max(1,N) if SIDE = 'R'.

- TAU (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension

  (M-1) if SIDE = 'L' (N-1) if SIDE = 'R' TAU(i) must contain the scalar factor of the elementary reflector H(i), as returned by DSYTRD.

- C (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDC,N)

  On entry, the M-by-N matrix C. On exit, C is overwritten by Q\*C or Q\*\*T\*C or C\*Q\*\*T or C\*Q.

- LDC (input) INTEGER

  The leading dimension of the array C. LDC \>= max(1,M).

- WORK (workspace/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))

  On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.

- LWORK (input) INTEGER

  The dimension of the array WORK. If SIDE = 'L', LWORK \>= max(1,N); if SIDE = 'R', LWORK \>= max(1,M). For optimum performance LWORK \>= N\*NB if SIDE = 'L', and LWORK \>= M\*NB if SIDE = 'R', 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 (output) INTEGER

  \= 0:  successful exit\
   \< 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
