NAME

       DLARFT - form the triangular factor T of a real block reflector H of order n, which is defined as a product of k elementary reflectors

SYNOPSIS

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

	   CHARACTER	  DIRECT, STOREV

	   INTEGER	  K, LDT, LDV, N

	   DOUBLE	  PRECISION T( LDT, * ), TAU( * ), V( LDV, * )

PURPOSE

       DLARFT  forms the triangular factor T of a real 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

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)
	       = '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) DOUBLE PRECISION 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) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (K)
	       TAU(i) must contain the scalar factor of the elementary reflector H(i).

       T       (output) DOUBLE PRECISION 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  trian-
	       gular. The rest of the array is not used.

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

FURTHER DETAILS

       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.

       DIRECT = 'F' and STOREV = 'C':	      DIRECT = 'F' and STOREV = 'R':

		    V = (  1	   )		     V = (  1 v1 v1 v1 v1 )
			( v1  1    )			 (     1 v2 v2 v2 )
			( v1 v2  1 )			 (	  1 v3 v3 )
			( v1 v2 v3 )
			( v1 v2 v3 )

       DIRECT = 'B' and STOREV = 'C':	      DIRECT = 'B' and STOREV = 'R':

		    V = ( v1 v2 v3 )		     V = ( v1 v1  1	  )
			( v1 v2 v3 )			 ( v2 v2 v2  1	  )
			(  1 v2 v3 )			 ( v3 v3 v3 v3	1 )
			(     1 v3 )
			(	 1 )
