f08uff computes a split Cholesky factorization of a real symmetric positive definite band matrix
. It is designed to be used in conjunction with
f08uef.
The factorization has the form
, where
is a band matrix of the same bandwidth as
and the following structure:
is upper triangular in the first
rows, and transposed — hence, lower triangular — in the remaining rows. For example, if
and
, then
None.
The computed factor
is the exact factor of a perturbed matrix
, where
is a modest linear function of
, and
is the
machine precision. It follows that
.

X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
A call to
f08uff may be followed by a call to
f08uef to solve the generalized eigenproblem
, where
and
are banded and
is positive definite.
The complex analogue of this routine is
f08utf.
