# spptrs.f(3)

## NAME

SRC/spptrs.f

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

subroutine **spptrs** (uplo, n, nrhs, ap, b, ldb, info)\
 **SPPTRS**

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine spptrs (character uplo, integer n, integer nrhs, real, dimension( \* ) ap, real, dimension( ldb, \* ) b, integer ldb, integer info)

**SPPTRS**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> SPPTRS solves a system of linear equations A*X = B with a symmetric
!> positive definite matrix A in packed storage using the Cholesky
!> factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T computed by SPPTRF.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*UPLO*

```
!>          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
!>          = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
!>          = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
!>
```

*N*

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
!>
```

*NRHS*

```
!>          NRHS is INTEGER
!>          The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns
!>          of the matrix B.  NRHS >= 0.
!>
```

*AP*

```
!>          AP is REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
!>          The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization
!>          A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T, packed columnwise in a linear
!>          array.  The j-th column of U or L is stored in the array AP
!>          as follows:
!>          if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = U(i,j) for 1<=i<=j;
!>          if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = L(i,j) for j<=i<=n.
!>
```

*B*

```
!>          B is REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
!>          On entry, the right hand side matrix B.
!>          On exit, the solution matrix X.
!>
```

*LDB*

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

*INFO*

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