NAME

       SPTSV  -  compute  the  solution to a real system of linear equations A*X = B, where A is an N-by-N symmetric positive definite tridiagonal
       matrix, and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices

SYNOPSIS

       SUBROUTINE SPTSV( N, NRHS, D, E, B, LDB, INFO )

	   INTEGER	 INFO, LDB, N, NRHS

	   REAL 	 B( LDB, * ), D( * ), E( * )

PURPOSE

       SPTSV computes the solution to a real system of linear equations A*X = B, where A is an	N-by-N	symmetric  positive  definite  tridiagonal
       matrix,	and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.  A is factored as A = L*D*L**T, and the factored form of A is then used to solve the system of
       equations.

ARGUMENTS

       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 matrix B.  NRHS >= 0.

       D       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N)
	       On entry, the n diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.  On exit, the n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D from  the
	       factorization A = L*D*L**T.

       E       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
	       On entry, the (n-1) subdiagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.  On exit, the (n-1) subdiagonal elements of the unit bidiago-
	       nal factor L from the L*D*L**T factorization of A.  (E can also be regarded as the superdiagonal of the unit  bidiagonal  factor  U
	       from the U**T*D*U factorization of A.)

       B       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
	       On entry, the N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B.  On exit, if INFO = 0, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.

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

       INFO    (output) INTEGER
	       = 0:  successful exit
	       < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
	       >  0:   if INFO = i, the leading minor of order i is not positive definite, and the solution has not been computed.  The factoriza-
	       tion has not been completed unless i = N.
