REAL
    E( * )

COMPLEX

PURPOSE
CLATRD reduces NB rows and columns of a complex Hermitian matrix A to Hermitian tridiagonal form by a unitary similarity transformation Q' * A * Q, and returns the matrices V and W which are needed to apply the transformation to the unreduced part of A. If UPLO = 'U', CLATRD reduces the last NB rows and columns of a matrix, of which the upper triangle is supplied;
if UPLO = 'L', CLATRD reduces the first NB rows and columns of a matrix, of which the lower triangle is supplied.
This is an auxiliary routine called by CHETRD.

ARGUMENTS

UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
    Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the Hermitian matrix A is stored:
    = 'U': Upper triangular
    = 'L': Lower triangular

N       (input) INTEGER
    The order of the matrix A.

NB      (input) INTEGER
    The number of rows and columns to be reduced.

A       (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
    On entry, the Hermitian matrix A. If UPLO = 'U', the leading n-by-n upper triangular part of A contains the upper triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not referenced. If UPLO = 'L', the leading n-by-n lower triangular part of A contains the lower triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced. On exit: if UPLO = 'U', the last NB columns have been reduced to tridiagonal form, with the diagonal elements overwriting the diagonal elements of A; the elements above the diagonal with the array TAU, represent the unitary matrix Q as a product of elementary reflectors; if UPLO = 'L', the first NB columns have been reduced to tridiagonal form, with the diagonal elements overwriting the diagonal elements of A; the elements below the diagonal with the array TAU, represent the unitary matrix Q as a product of elementary reflectors. See Further Details. LDA (input) INTEGER The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N).

E       (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
    If UPLO = 'U', E(n-nb:n-1) contains the superdiagonal elements of the last NB columns of the reduced matrix; if UPLO = 'L', E(1:nb) contains the subdiagonal elements of the first NB columns of the reduced matrix.

TAU     (output) COMPLEX array, dimension (N-1)
    The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors, stored in TAU(n-nb:n-1) if UPLO = 'U', and in TAU(1:nb) if UPLO = 'L'. See Further Details. W (output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDW,NB) The n-by-nb matrix W required to update the unreduced part of A.

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

FURTHER DETAILS
If UPLO = 'U', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors
   Q = H(n) H(n-1) . . . H(n-nb+1).
Each H(i) has the form
   H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
where tau is a complex scalar, and v is a complex vector with v(i:n) = 0 and v(i-1) = 1; v(1:i-1) is stored on exit in A(1:i-1,i), and tau in TAU(i-1).
If UPLO = 'L', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors
   Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(nb).
Each H(i) has the form
   H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
where tau is a complex scalar, and v is a complex vector with v(1:i) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+1:n) is stored on exit in A(i+1:n,i), and tau in TAU(i).
The elements of the vectors v together form the n-by-nb matrix V which is needed, with W, to apply the transformation to the unreduced part of the matrix, using a Hermitian rank-2k update of the form: A := A - V*W' - W*V'.
The contents of A on exit are illustrated by the following examples with n = 5 and nb = 2:
if UPLO = 'U': if UPLO = 'L':
  ( a a a v4 v5 ) ( d )
  ( a a v4 v5 ) ( 1 d )
  ( a 1 v5 ) ( v1 1 a )
  ( d 1 ) ( v1 v2 a a )
  ( d ) ( v1 v2 a a a ) where d denotes a diagonal element of the reduced matrix, a denotes an element of the original matrix that is unchanged, and vi denotes an element of the vector defining H(i).
