SPBTF2(3)

💅 SPBTF2 💅

Okay so this is the SPBTF2 page from the Library Functions Manual, bestie — the file it’s documenting is spbtf2.f(3), and we folded that header energy right up here. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Functions/Subroutines

• subroutine SPBTF2 (uplo, n, kd, ab, ldab, info) — SPBTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization of a symmetric/Hermitian positive definite band matrix (unblocked algorithm).

💅 Function/Subroutine Documentation 💅

Here’s the whole signature, character-for-character, because we do not play with exactness:

subroutine SPBTF2 (character uplo, integer n, integer kd, real, dimension( ldab, * ) ab, integer ldab, integer info)

SPBTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization of a symmetric/Hermitian positive definite band matrix (unblocked algorithm).

✨ Purpose: ✨

Bestie, SPBTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization of a real symmetric positive definite band matrix A.

The factorization has the form

A = U**T * U ,  if UPLO = 'U', or
A = L  * L**T,  if UPLO = 'L',

where U is an upper triangular matrix, U**T is the transpose of U, and L is lower triangular.

This is the unblocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 2 BLAS. Periodt.

🫶 Parameters 🫶

• UPLO — is CHARACTER*1. Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix A is stored:
  • = 'U': Upper triangular
  • = 'L': Lower triangular
• N — is INTEGER. The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
• KD — is INTEGER. The number of super-diagonals of the matrix A if UPLO = 'U', or the number of sub-diagonals if UPLO = 'L'. KD >= 0.
• AB — is REAL array, dimension (LDAB,N). On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the symmetric band matrix A, stored in the first KD+1 rows of the array. The j-th column of A is stored in the j-th column of the array AB as follows:

if UPLO = 'U', AB(kd+1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-kd)<=i<=j;
if UPLO = 'L', AB(1+i-j,j)    = A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+kd).

On exit, if INFO = 0, the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T of the band matrix A, in the same storage format as A.

• LDAB — is INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array AB. LDAB >= KD+1.
• INFO — is INTEGER.
  • = 0: successful exit
  • < 0: if INFO = -k, the k-th argument had an illegal value
  • > 0: if INFO = k, the leading principal minor of order k is not positive, and the factorization could not be completed.

💜 Further Details: 💜

The band storage scheme is illustrated by the following example, when N = 6, KD = 2, and UPLO = 'U':

On entry:                       On exit:

      *    *   a13  a24  a35  a46      *    *   u13  u24  u35  u46
      *   a12  a23  a34  a45  a56      *   u12  u23  u34  u45  u56
     a11  a22  a33  a44  a55  a66     u11  u22  u33  u44  u55  u66

Similarly, if UPLO = 'L' the format of A is as follows:

On entry:                       On exit:

     a11  a22  a33  a44  a55  a66     l11  l22  l33  l44  l55  l66
     a21  a32  a43  a54  a65   *      l21  l32  l43  l54  l65   *
     a31  a42  a53  a64   *    *      l31  l42  l53  l64   *    *

Array elements marked * are not used by the routine.

💖 Cute sign-off: the footer vibe is LAPACK Version 3.12.0 with /home/abui...RC/spbtf2.f(3). That’s the source/version energy — no separate date is printed on this footer, so I’m not inventing one, periodt. Mwah. 🎀✨
