**Parameters**

*TRANS*

```
!>          TRANS is CHARACTER*1
!>     Specifies the form of the system of equations:
!>       = 'N':  A * X = B     (No transpose)
!>       = 'T':  A**T * X = B  (Transpose)
!>       = 'C':  A**H * X = B  (Conjugate Transpose = Transpose)
!>
```

*N*

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>     The number of linear equations, i.e., the order of the
!>     matrix A.  N >= 0.
!>
```

*KL*

```
!>          KL is INTEGER
!>     The number of subdiagonals within the band of A.  KL >= 0.
!>
```

*KU*

```
!>          KU is INTEGER
!>     The number of superdiagonals within the band of A.  KU >= 0.
!>
```

*AB*

```
!>          AB is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAB,N)
!>     On entry, the matrix A in band storage, in rows 1 to KL+KU+1.
!>     The j-th column of A is stored in the j-th column of the
!>     array AB as follows:
!>     AB(KU+1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-KU)<=i<=min(N,j+kl)
!>
```

*LDAB*

```
!>          LDAB is INTEGER
!>     The leading dimension of the array AB.  LDAB >= KL+KU+1.
!>
```

*AFB*

```
!>          AFB is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAFB,N)
!>     Details of the LU factorization of the band matrix A, as
!>     computed by ZGBTRF.  U is stored as an upper triangular
!>     band matrix with KL+KU superdiagonals in rows 1 to KL+KU+1,
!>     and the multipliers used during the factorization are stored
!>     in rows KL+KU+2 to 2*KL+KU+1.
!>
```

*LDAFB*

```
!>          LDAFB is INTEGER
!>     The leading dimension of the array AFB.  LDAFB >= 2*KL+KU+1.
!>
```

*IPIV*

```
!>          IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N)
!>     The pivot indices from the factorization A = P*L*U
!>     as computed by ZGBTRF; row i of the matrix was interchanged
!>     with row IPIV(i).
!>
```

*X*

```
!>          X is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N)
!>     The vector X in the formula op(A) * diag(X).
!>
```

*INFO*

```
!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>       = 0:  Successful exit.
!>     i > 0:  The ith argument is invalid.
!>
```

*WORK*

```
!>          WORK is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (2*N).
!>     Workspace.
!>
```

*RWORK*

```
!>          RWORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N).
!>     Workspace.
!>
