NAME
       CGEQRF - compute a QR factorization of a complex M-by-N matrix A

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE CGEQRF( M, N, A, LDA, TAU, WORK, LWORK, INFO )

	   INTEGER	  INFO, LDA, LWORK, M, N

	   COMPLEX	  A( LDA, * ), TAU( * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE
       CGEQRF computes a QR factorization of a complex M-by-N matrix A: A = Q * R.

ARGUMENTS
       M       (input) INTEGER
	       The number of rows of the matrix A.  M >= 0.

       N       (input) INTEGER
	       The number of columns of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

       A       (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
	       On entry, the M-by-N matrix A.  On exit, the elements on and above the diagonal of the array contain the min(M,N)-by-N upper trape-
	       zoidal matrix R (R is upper triangular if m >= n); the elements below the diagonal, with  the  array  TAU,  represent  the  unitary
	       matrix Q as a product of min(m,n) elementary reflectors (see Further Details).

       LDA     (input) INTEGER
	       The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,M).

       TAU     (output) COMPLEX array, dimension (min(M,N))
	       The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors (see Further Details).

       WORK    (workspace/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LWORK)
	       On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.

       LWORK   (input) INTEGER
	       The dimension of the array WORK.  LWORK >= max(1,N).  For optimum performance LWORK >= N*NB, where NB is the optimal blocksize.

	       If  LWORK  =  -1,  then	a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the WORK array, returns this
	       value as the first entry of the WORK array, and no error message related to LWORK is issued by XERBLA.

       INFO    (output) INTEGER
	       = 0:  successful exit
	       < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value

FURTHER DETAILS
       The matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors

	  Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(k), where k = min(m,n).

       Each H(i) has the form

	  H(i) = I - tau * v * v'

       where tau is a complex scalar, and v is a complex vector with v(1:i-1) = 0 and v(i) = 1; v(i+1:m) is stored on exit in A(i+1:m,i), and  tau
       in TAU(i).
