5  Arguments

1:     order – Nag_OrderTypeInput

On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$. See Section 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint: $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$.

2:     uplo – Nag_UploTypeInput

On entry: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of $A$ is stored and how $A$ is to be factorized.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$

The upper triangular part of $A$ is stored and $A$ is factorized as $PUD{U}^{\mathrm{T}}{P}^{\mathrm{T}}$, where $U$ is upper triangular.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$

The lower triangular part of $A$ is stored and $A$ is factorized as $PLD{L}^{\mathrm{T}}{P}^{\mathrm{T}}$, where $L$ is lower triangular.

Constraint: $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$.

3:     n – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the order of the matrix $A$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

4:     a[$\mathit{dim}$] – ComplexInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{pda}\times \mathbf{n}\right)$.

On entry: the $n$ by $n$ symmetric indefinite matrix $A$.

If $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$, $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{a}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pda}+i-1\right]$.

If $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$, $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{a}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pda}+j-1\right]$.

If $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$, the upper triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.

If $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$, the lower triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.

On exit: the upper or lower triangle of $A$ is overwritten by details of the block diagonal matrix $D$ and the multipliers used to obtain the factor $U$ or $L$ as specified by uplo.

5:     pda – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix $A$ in the array a.

Constraint: $\mathbf{pda}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$.

6:     ipiv[$\mathit{dim}$] – IntegerOutput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ipiv must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$.

On exit: details of the interchanges and the block structure of $D$. More precisely,

• if $\mathbf{ipiv}\left[i-1\right]=k>0$, $d_{ii}$ is a $1$ by $1$ pivot block and the $i$th row and column of $A$ were interchanged with the $k$th row and column;
• if $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$ and $\mathbf{ipiv}\left[i-2\right]=\mathbf{ipiv}\left[i-1\right]=-l<0$, $\left(\begin{array}{cc}{d}_{i-1,i-1}& {\stackrel{-}{d}}_{i,i-1}\\ {\stackrel{-}{d}}_{i,i-1}& d_{ii}\end{array}\right)$ is a $2$ by $2$ pivot block and the $\left(i-1\right)$th row and column of $A$ were interchanged with the $l$th row and column;
• if $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$ and $\mathbf{ipiv}\left[i-1\right]=\mathbf{ipiv}\left[i\right]=-m<0$, $\left(\begin{array}{cc}{d}_{ii}& d_{i+1,i}\\ d_{i+1,i}& d_{i+1,i+1}\end{array}\right)$ is a $2$ by $2$ pivot block and the $\left(i+1\right)$th row and column of $A$ were interchanged with the $m$th row and column.

7:     fail – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL

Dynamic memory allocation failed.

NE_BAD_PARAM

On entry, argument $⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ had an illegal value.

NE_INT

On entry, $\mathbf{n}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

On entry, $\mathbf{pda}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{pda}>0$.

NE_INT_2

On entry, $\mathbf{pda}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ and $\mathbf{n}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{pda}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$.

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR

An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.

NE_SINGULAR

$D\left(⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩,⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩\right)$ is exactly zero. The factorization has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix $D$ is exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it is used to solve a system of equations.
