NAME
       ZHESV  -  the solution to a complex system of linear equations  A * X =
       B,

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE ZHESV( UPLO, N, NRHS, A, LDA, IPIV,  B,  LDB,  WORK,  LWORK,
                         INFO )

           CHARACTER     UPLO

           INTEGER       INFO, LDA, LDB, LWORK, N, NRHS

           INTEGER       IPIV( * )

           COMPLEX*16    A( LDA, * ), B( LDB, * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE
       ZHESV computes the solution to a complex system of linear equations
          A  * X = B, where A is an N-by-N Hermitian matrix and X and B are N-
       by-NRHS matrices.

       The diagonal pivoting method is used to factor A as
          A = U * D * U**H,  if UPLO = 'U', or
          A = L * D * L**H,  if UPLO = 'L',
       where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)  tri-
       angular matrices, and D is Hermitian and block diagonal with 1-by-1 and
       2-by-2 diagonal blocks.  The factored form of A is then used  to  solve
       the system of equations A * X = B.


ARGUMENTS
       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
               = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
               = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

       N       (input) INTEGER
               The  number  of linear equations, i.e., 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.

       A       (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDA,N)
               On  entry,  the Hermitian matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading
               N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the upper triangular
               part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of
               A is not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading  N-by-N  lower
               triangular  part of A contains the lower triangular part of the
               matrix A, and the strictly upper triangular part of  A  is  not
               referenced.

               On  exit, if INFO = 0, the block diagonal matrix D and the mul-
               tipliers used to obtain the factor U or L from  the  factoriza-
               tion A = U*D*U**H or A = L*D*L**H as computed by ZHETRF.

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

       IPIV    (output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
               Details  of  the  interchanges and the block structure of D, as
               determined by ZHETRF.  If IPIV(k) > 0, then rows and columns  k
               and  IPIV(k) were interchanged, and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal
               block.  If UPLO = 'U' and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k-1) <  0,  then  rows
               and   columns   k-1   and   -IPIV(k)   were   interchanged  and
               D(k-1:k,k-1:k) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.  If UPLO =  'L'  and
               IPIV(k) = IPIV(k+1) < 0, then rows and columns k+1 and -IPIV(k)
               were interchanged  and  D(k:k+1,k:k+1)  is  a  2-by-2  diagonal
               block.

       B       (input/output) COMPLEX*16 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).

       WORK    (workspace/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))
               On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.

       LWORK   (input) INTEGER
               The length of WORK.  LWORK >= 1, and for best performance LWORK
               >= max(1,N*NB), where NB is the optimal blocksize for ZHETRF.

               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
               > 0: if INFO = i, D(i,i) is exactly  zero.   The  factorization
               has  been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is exactly
               singular, so the solution could not be computed.
