ZLARZT(3f)

NAME
ZLARZT - the triangular factor T of a complex block reflector H of order > n, which is defined as a product of k elementary reflectors

SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE ZLARZT(
    DIRECT, STOREV, N, K, V, LDV, TAU, T, LDT )

CHARACTER
    DIRECT, STOREV

INTEGER
    K, LDT, LDV, N

COMPLEX*16
    T( LDT, * ), TAU( * ), V( LDV, * )

PURPOSE
ZLARZT forms the triangular factor T of a complex block reflector H of order > n, which is defined as a product of k elementary reflectors. If DIRECT = 'F', H = H(1) H(2) . . . H(k) and T is upper triangular; If DIRECT = 'B', H = H(k) . . . H(2) H(1) and T is lower triangular. If STOREV = 'C', the vector which defines the elementary reflector H(i) is stored in the i-th column of the array V, and
   H = I - V * T * V'
If STOREV = 'R', the vector which defines the elementary reflector H(i) is stored in the i-th row of the array V, and
   H = I - V' * T * V
Currently, only STOREV = 'R' and DIRECT = 'B' are supported.

ARGUMENTS

DIRECT  (input) CHARACTER*1
    Specifies the order in which the elementary reflectors are multiplied to form the block reflector:
    = 'F': H = H(1) H(2) . . . H(k) (Forward, not supported yet)
    = 'B': H = H(k) . . . H(2) H(1) (Backward)

STOREV  (input) CHARACTER*1
    Specifies how the vectors which define the elementary reflectors are stored (see also Further Details):
    = 'R': rowwise

N       (input) INTEGER
    The order of the block reflector H. N >= 0.

K       (input) INTEGER
    The order of the triangular factor T (= the number of elementary reflectors). K >= 1.

V       (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension
    (LDV,K) if STOREV = 'C' (LDV,N) if STOREV = 'R' The matrix V. See further details.

LDV     (input) INTEGER
    The leading dimension of the array V. If STOREV = 'C', LDV >= max(1,N); if STOREV = 'R', LDV >= K.

TAU     (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (K)
    TAU(i) must contain the scalar factor of the elementary reflector H(i).

T       (output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDT,K)
    The k by k triangular factor T of the block reflector. If DIRECT = 'F', T is upper triangular; if DIRECT = 'B', T is lower triangular. The rest of the array is not used.

LDT     (input) INTEGER
    The leading dimension of the array T. LDT >= K.

FURTHER DETAILS
Based on contributions by
  A. Petitet, Computer Science Dept., Univ. of Tenn., Knoxville, USA The shape of the matrix V and the storage of the vectors which define the H(i) is best illustrated by the following example with n = 5 and k = 3. The elements equal to 1 are not stored; the corresponding array elements are modified but restored on exit. The rest of the array is not used.
