SYNOPSIS

       SUBROUTINE PCLARFC( SIDE, M, N, V, IV, JV, DESCV, INCV, TAU, C, IC, JC, DESCC, WORK )

	   CHARACTER	   SIDE

	   INTEGER	   IC, INCV, IV, JC, JV, M, N

	   INTEGER	   DESCC( * ), DESCV( * )

	   COMPLEX	   C( * ), TAU( * ), V( * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE

       PCLARFC	applies  a complex elementary reflector Q**H to a complex M-by-N distributed matrix sub( C ) = C(IC:IC+M-1,JC:JC+N-1), from either
       the left or the right. Q is represented in the form

	     Q = I - tau * v * v'

       where tau is a complex scalar and v is a complex vector.

       If tau = 0, then Q is taken to be the unit matrix.

       Notes
       =====

       Each global data object is described by an associated description vector.  This vector stores the information  required	to  establish  the
       mapping between an object element and its corresponding process and memory location.

       Let  A  be a generic term for any 2D block cyclicly distributed array.  Such a global array has an associated description vector DESCA.	In
       the following comments, the character _ should be read as "of the global array".

       NOTATION        STORED IN      EXPLANATION
       --------------- -------------- -------------------------------------- DTYPE_A(global) DESCA( DTYPE_ )The descriptor type.  In this case,
				      DTYPE_A = 1.
       CTXT_A (global) DESCA( CTXT_ ) The BLACS context handle, indicating
				      the BLACS process grid A is distribu-
				      ted over. The context itself is glo-
				      bal, but the handle (the integer
				      value) may vary.
       M_A    (global) DESCA( M_ )    The number of rows in the global
				      array A.
       N_A    (global) DESCA( N_ )    The number of columns in the global
				      array A.
       MB_A   (global) DESCA( MB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
				      the rows of the array.
       NB_A   (global) DESCA( NB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
				      the columns of the array.
       RSRC_A (global) DESCA( RSRC_ ) The process row over which the first
				      row of the array A is distributed.  CSRC_A (global) DESCA( CSRC_ ) The process column over which the
				      first column of the array A is
				      distributed.
       LLD_A  (local)  DESCA( LLD_ )  The leading dimension of the local
				      array.  LLD_A >= MAX(1,LOCr(M_A)).

       Let K be the number of rows or columns of a distributed matrix, and assume that its process grid has dimension p x q.
       LOCr( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process would receive if K were distributed over the p processes of its  process  col-
       umn.
       Similarly,  LOCc(  K  )	denotes the number of elements of K that a process would receive if K were distributed over the q processes of its
       process row.
       The values of LOCr() and LOCc() may be determined via a call to the ScaLAPACK tool function, NUMROC:
	       LOCr( M ) = NUMROC( M, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ),
	       LOCc( N ) = NUMROC( N, NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ).  An upper bound for these quantities may be computed by:
	       LOCr( M ) <= ceil( ceil(M/MB_A)/NPROW )*MB_A
	       LOCc( N ) <= ceil( ceil(N/NB_A)/NPCOL )*NB_A

       Because vectors may be viewed as a subclass of matrices, a distributed vector is considered to be a distributed matrix.

       Restrictions
       ============

       If SIDE = 'Left' and INCV = 1, then the row process having the first entry V(IV,JV) must also have the first row of  sub(  C  ).  Moreover,
       MOD(IV-1,MB_V) must be equal to MOD(IC-1,MB_C), if INCV=M_V, only the last equality must be satisfied.

       If  SIDE  =  'Right' and INCV = M_V then the column process having the first entry V(IV,JV) must also have the first column of sub( C ) and
       MOD(JV-1,NB_V) must be equal to MOD(JC-1,NB_C), if INCV = 1 only the last equality must be satisfied.

ARGUMENTS

       SIDE    (global input) CHARACTER
	       = 'L': form  Q**H * sub( C ),

       M       (global input) INTEGER
	       The number of rows to be operated on i.e the number of rows of the distributed submatrix sub( C ). M >= 0.

       N       (global input) INTEGER

	       mation Q, V(IV:IV+M-1,JV) if SIDE = 'L' and INCV = 1,
	       V(IV,JV:JV+M-1) if SIDE = 'L' and INCV = M_V,
	       V(IV:IV+N-1,JV) if SIDE = 'R' and INCV = 1,
	       V(IV,JV:JV+N-1) if SIDE = 'R' and INCV = M_V,

	       The row index in the global array V indicating the first row of sub( V ).

       JV      (global input) INTEGER

	       NqC0  +	MAX( MAX( 1, MpC0 ), NUMROC( NUMROC( N+ICOFFC,NB_V,0,0,NPCOL ),NB_V,0,0,LCMQ ) ) end if else if INCV = M_V, if SIDE = 'L',
	       LWORK >= MpC0 + MAX( MAX( 1, NqC0 ), NUMROC( NUMROC( M+IROFFC,MB_V,0,0,NPROW ),MB_V,0,0,LCMP ) ) else if SIDE =	'R',  if  IVROW  =
	       ICROW, LWORK >= MpC0 else LWORK >= NqC0 + MAX( 1, MpC0 ) end if end if end if

	       where LCM is the least common multiple of NPROW and NPCOL and LCM = ILCM( NPROW, NPCOL ), LCMP = LCM / NPROW, LCMQ = LCM / NPCOL,

	       IROFFC  =  MOD(	IC-1,  MB_C ), ICOFFC = MOD( JC-1, NB_C ), ICROW = INDXG2P( IC, MB_C, MYROW, RSRC_C, NPROW ), ICCOL = INDXG2P( JC,

	       NPCOL ),

	       ILCM,  INDXG2P  and  NUMROC are ScaLAPACK tool functions; MYROW, MYCOL, NPROW and NPCOL can be determined by calling the subroutine
	       BLACS_GRIDINFO.

	       Alignment requirements ======================

	       The distributed submatrices V(IV:*, JV:*) and C(IC:IC+M-1,JC:JC+N-1) must verify some alignment properties,  namely  the  following
	       expressions should be true:

	       MB_V = NB_V,

	       If INCV = 1, If SIDE = 'Left', ( MB_V.EQ.MB_C .AND. IROFFV.EQ.IROFFC .AND. IVROW.EQ.ICROW ) If SIDE = 'Right', ( MB_V.EQ.NB_A .AND.
	       MB_V.EQ.NB_C .AND.  IROFFV.EQ.ICOFFC  )	else  if  INCV	=  M_V,  If  SIDE  =  'Left',  (  MB_V.EQ.NB_V	.AND.  MB_V.EQ.MB_C  .AND.
	       ICOFFV.EQ.IROFFC ) If SIDE = 'Right', ( NB_V.EQ.NB_C .AND. ICOFFV.EQ.ICOFFC .AND. IVCOL.EQ.ICCOL ) end if
