NAME
       CTBRFS  - provide error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution to a system of linear equations with a triangular band coeffi-
       cient matrix

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE CTBRFS( UPLO, TRANS, DIAG, N, KD, NRHS, AB, LDAB, B, LDB, X, LDX, FERR, BERR, WORK, RWORK, INFO )

	   CHARACTER	  DIAG, TRANS, UPLO

	   INTEGER	  INFO, KD, LDAB, LDB, LDX, N, NRHS

	   REAL 	  BERR( * ), FERR( * ), RWORK( * )

	   COMPLEX	  AB( LDAB, * ), B( LDB, * ), WORK( * ), X( LDX, * )

PURPOSE
       CTBRFS provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution to a system of linear equations with a triangular  band  coeffi-
       cient matrix.  The solution matrix X must be computed by CTBTRS or some other means before entering this routine.  CTBRFS does not do iter-
       ative refinement because doing so cannot improve the backward error.

ARGUMENTS
       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
	       = 'U':  A is upper triangular;
	       = 'L':  A is lower triangular.

       TRANS   (input) CHARACTER*1
	       Specifies the form of the system of equations:
	       = 'N':  A * X = B     (No transpose)
	       = 'T':  A**T * X = B  (Transpose)
	       = 'C':  A**H * X = B  (Conjugate transpose)

       DIAG    (input) CHARACTER*1
	       = 'N':  A is non-unit triangular;
	       = 'U':  A is unit triangular.

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

       KD      (input) INTEGER
	       The number of superdiagonals or subdiagonals of the triangular band matrix A.  KD >= 0.

       NRHS    (input) INTEGER
	       The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

       AB      (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDAB,N)
	       The upper or lower triangular band matrix A, stored in the first kd+1 rows of the array. The j-th column of A is stored in the j-th
	       column  of  the	array AB as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AB(kd+1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-kd)<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AB(1+i-j,j)	 =
	       A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+kd).  If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are not referenced and are assumed to be 1.

       LDAB    (input) INTEGER
	       The leading dimension of the array AB.  LDAB >= KD+1.

       B       (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
	       The right hand side matrix B.

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

       X       (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
	       The solution matrix X.

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

       FERR    (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
	       The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).  If XTRUE is  the  true
	       solution  corresponding	to  X(j),  FERR(j)  is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest element in (X(j) - XTRUE)
	       divided by the magnitude of the largest element in X(j).  The estimate is as reliable as the estimate  for  RCOND,  and	is  almost
	       always a slight overestimate of the true error.

       BERR    (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
	       The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element of A or B
	       that makes X(j) an exact solution).

       WORK    (workspace) COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N)

       RWORK   (workspace) REAL array, dimension (N)

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