 NAME
      SSPTRD - reduce a real symmetric matrix A stored in packed
      form to symmetric tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal simi-
      larity transformation

 SYNOPSIS
      SUBROUTINE SSPTRD( UPLO, N, AP, D, E, TAU, INFO )

          CHARACTER      UPLO

          INTEGER        INFO, N

          REAL           AP( * ), D( * ), E( * ), TAU( * )

 PURPOSE
      SSPTRD reduces a real symmetric matrix A stored in packed
      form to symmetric tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal simi-
      larity transformation: Q**T * A * Q = T.

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

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

      AP      (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
              On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the sym-
              metric matrix A, packed columnwise in a linear
              array.  The j-th column of A is stored in the array
              AP as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) =
              A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-
              1)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.  On exit, if
              UPLO = 'U', the diagonal and first superdiagonal of
              A are overwritten by the corresponding elements of
              the tridiagonal matrix T, and the elements above the
              first superdiagonal, with the array TAU, represent
              the orthogonal matrix Q as a product of elementary
              reflectors; if UPLO = 'L', the diagonal and first
              subdiagonal of A are over- written by the
              corresponding elements of the tridiagonal matrix T,
              and the elements below the first subdiagonal, with
              the array TAU, represent the orthogonal matrix Q as
              a product of elementary reflectors. See Further
              Details.  D       (output) REAL array, dimension (N)
              The diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T:
              D(i) = A(i,i).

      E       (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
              The off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix

              T: E(i) = A(i,i+1) if UPLO = 'U', E(i) = A(i+1,i) if
              UPLO = 'L'.

      TAU     (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
              The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors (see
              Further Details).

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

 FURTHER DETAILS
      If UPLO = 'U', the matrix Q is represented as a product of
      elementary reflectors

         Q = H(n-1) . . . H(2) H(1).

      Each H(i) has the form

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

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

      If UPLO = 'L', the matrix Q is represented as a product of
      elementary reflectors

         Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(n-1).

      Each H(i) has the form

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

      where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
      v(1:i) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+2:n) is stored on exit in AP,
      overwriting A(i+2:n,i), and tau is stored in TAU(i).
