       tion

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE SGERFS( TRANS, N, NRHS, A, LDA, AF, LDAF, IPIV, B, LDB, X, LDX, FERR, BERR, WORK, IWORK, INFO )

	   CHARACTER	  TRANS

	   INTEGER	  INFO, LDA, LDAF, LDB, LDX, N, NRHS

PURPOSE
       SGERFS improves the computed solution to a system of linear equations and provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the  solu-
       tion.

ARGUMENTS
       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 = Transpose)

       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 matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

       A       (input) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
	       The original N-by-N matrix A.

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

       AF      (input) REAL array, dimension (LDAF,N)
	       The factors L and U from the factorization A = P*L*U as computed by SGETRF.

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

       IPIV    (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
	       The pivot indices from SGETRF; for 1<=i<=N, row i of the matrix was interchanged with row IPIV(i).

       B       (input) REAL 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/output) REAL array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
	       On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by SGETRS.	On exit, the improved 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) REAL array, dimension (3*N)

       IWORK   (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)

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

PARAMETERS
       ITMAX is the maximum number of steps of iterative refinement.
