ARGUMENTS

UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
    = 'U': Upper triangle of A is stored;
    = 'L': Lower triangle of A is stored.

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) REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
    The upper or lower triangle of the symmetric 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)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.

AFP     (input) REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
    The factored form of the matrix A. AFP contains the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used to obtain the factor U or L from the factorization A = U*D*U**T or A = L*D*L**T as computed by SSPTRF, stored as a packed triangular matrix.

IPIV    (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
    Details of the interchanges and the block structure of D as determined by SSPTRF.

B       (input) REAL 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/output) REAL array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
    On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by SSPTRS. On exit, the improved solution matrix X.

LDX     (input) INTEGER
    The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >= max(1,N).

FERR    (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
    The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X). If XTRUE is the true solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j) is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the largest element in X(j). The estimate is as reliable as the estimate for RCOND, and is almost always a slight overestimate of the true error.

BERR    (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
    The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element of A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).

WORK    (workspace) REAL 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

PARAMETERS
ITMAX is the maximum number of steps of iterative refinement.
