Arguments

Mode Parameters

  FORM    CHARACTER*1
          Specifies the form in which the matrix A is provided, as
          follows:
          = 'S' :  standard form, the matrix A is given;
          = 'F' :  the implicit, function form f(A) is provided.
          If FORM = 'F', then the routine F is called to compute the
          matrix A'*A.

  STOR    CHARACTER*1
          Specifies the storage scheme for the symmetric
          matrix A'*A, as follows:
          = 'F' :  full storage is used;
          = 'P' :  packed storage is used.

  UPLO    CHARACTER*1
          Specifies which part of the matrix A'*A is stored, as
          follows:
          = 'U' :  the upper triagular part is stored;
          = 'L' :  the lower triagular part is stored.

Function Parameters
  F       EXTERNAL
          If FORM = 'F', then F is a subroutine which calculates the
          value of f(A) = A'*A, for given A.
          If FORM = 'S', then F is not called.

          F must have the following interface:

          SUBROUTINE F( STOR, UPLO, N, IPAR, LIPAR, DPAR, LDPAR, A,
         $              LDA, ATA, LDATA, DWORK, LDWORK, INFO )

                  INFO must be zero if the subroutine finished
                  successfully.

          Parameters marked with "(input)" must not be changed.

          If FORM = 'S', the leading M-by-N part of this array
          must contain the matrix A.
          If FORM = 'F', the leading NR-by-NC part of this array
          must contain an appropriate representation of matrix A,
          where NR is the number of rows.

          contain the right hand side matrix B.
          On exit, if INFO = 0 and M (or NR) is nonzero, the leading
          N-by-NRHS part of this array contains the solution X of
          the set of systems of linear equations A'*A*X = B or
          f(A)*X = B. If M (or NR) is zero, then B is unchanged.

          triangular Cholesky factor of the matrix A'*A, depending
          on UPLO = 'U', or UPLO = 'L', respectively, stored either
          as a two-dimensional, or one-dimensional array, depending
          on STOR.

          The length of the array DWORK.

Error Indicator
  INFO    INTEGER
          = 0:  successful exit;
          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal
                value;
          > 0:  if INFO = i, then the (i,i) element of the
                triangular factor of the matrix A'*A is exactly
                zero (the matrix A'*A is exactly singular);
                if INFO = j > n, then F returned with INFO = j-n.

Method
  The matrix A'*A is built either directly (if FORM = 'S'), or
  implicitly, by calling the routine F. Then, A'*A is Cholesky
  factored and its factor is used to solve the set of systems of
  linear equations, A'*A*X = B.

Numerical Aspects
  For speed, this routine does not check for near singularity of the
  matrix A'*A. If the matrix A is nearly rank deficient, then the
  computed X could be inaccurate. Estimates of the reciprocal
  condition numbers of the matrices A and A'*A can be obtained
  using LAPACK routines DGECON and DPOCON (DPPCON), respectively.

  The approximate number of floating point operations is
     (M+3)*N**2/2 + N**3/6 + NRHS*N**2, if FORM = 'S',
     f + N**3/6 + NRHS*N**2,            if FORM = 'F',
  where M is the number of rows of A, and f is the number of
  floating point operations required by the subroutine F.
