X, LDX, FERR, BERR, WORK, IWORK, INFO )
CHARACTER DIAG, TRANS, UPLO

INTEGER IWORK( * )
DOUBLE PRECISION AP( * ), B( LDB, * ), BERR( *
), FERR( * ), WORK( * ), X( LDX, * )
PURPOSE
DTPRFS provides error bounds and backward error estimates
for the solution to a system of linear equations with a tri-
angular packed coefficient matrix.
The solution matrix X must be computed by DTPTRS or some
other means before entering this routine. DTPRFS does not
do iterative refinement because doing so cannot improve the
backward error.
ARGUMENTS
UPLO (input) CHARACTER*1
= 'U': A is upper triangular;
= 'L': A is lower triangular.
TRANS (input) 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 = Tran-
spose)
DIAG (input) CHARACTER*1
= 'N': A is non-unit triangular;
= 'U': A is unit triangular.
N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
NRHS (input) INTEGER
The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of
columns of the matrices B and X. NRHS >= 0.
AP (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
The upper or lower triangular matrix A, packed
columnwise in a linear array. The j-th column of A
is stored in the array AP as follows: if UPLO = 'U',
AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO =
'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.
If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are not
referenced and are assumed to be 1.
B (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
The right hand side matrix B.
LDB (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >=
max(1,N).
X (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
The solution matrix X.
LDX (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >=
max(1,N).
FERR (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
The estimated forward error bounds for each solution
vector X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix
X). If XTRUE is the true solution, FERR(j) bounds
the magnitude of the largest entry in (X(j) - XTRUE)
divided by the magnitude of the largest entry in
X(j). The quality of the error bound depends on the
quality of the estimate of norm(inv(A)) computed in
the code; if the estimate of norm(inv(A)) is accu-
rate, the error bound is guaranteed.
BERR (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
The componentwise relative backward error of each
solution vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative
change in any entry of A or B that makes X(j) an
exact solution).
WORK (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (3*N)
IWORK (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal
value
