NAME
     SSTEVR - compute selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a
     real symmetric tridiagonal matrix T

SYNOPSIS
     SUBROUTINE SSTEVR( JOBZ, RANGE, N, D, E, VL, VU, IL, IU, ABSTOL, M, W, Z,
                        LDZ, ISUPPZ, WORK, LWORK, IWORK, LIWORK, INFO )

         CHARACTER      JOBZ, RANGE

         INTEGER        IL, INFO, IU, LDZ, LIWORK, LWORK, M, N

         REAL           ABSTOL, VL, VU

         INTEGER        ISUPPZ( * ), IWORK( * )

         REAL           D( * ), E( * ), W( * ), WORK( * ), Z( LDZ, * )

IMPLEMENTATION
     These routines are part of the SCSL Scientific Library and can be loaded
     using either the -lscs or the -lscs_mp option.  The -lscs_mp option
     directs the linker to use the multi-processor version of the library.

     When linking to SCSL with -lscs or -lscs_mp, the default integer size is
     4 bytes (32 bits). Another version of SCSL is available in which integers
     are 8 bytes (64 bits).  This version allows the user access to larger
     memory sizes and helps when porting legacy Cray codes.  It can be loaded
     by using the -lscs_i8 option or the -lscs_i8_mp option. A program may use
     only one of the two versions; 4-byte integer and 8-byte integer library
     calls cannot be mixed.

PURPOSE
     SSTEVR computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a
     real symmetric tridiagonal matrix T. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be
     selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for
     the desired eigenvalues.

     Whenever possible, SSTEVR calls SSTEGR to compute the
     eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations.  SSTEGR computes
     eigenvalues by the dqds algorithm, while orthogonal eigenvectors are
     computed from various "good" L D L^T representations (also known as
     Relatively Robust Representations). Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization is
     avoided as far as possible. More specifically, the various steps of the
     algorithm are as follows. For the i-th unreduced block of T,
        (a) Compute T - sigma_i = L_i D_i L_i^T, such that L_i D_i L_i^T
             is a relatively robust representation,
        (b) Compute the eigenvalues, lambda_j, of L_i D_i L_i^T to high
            relative accuracy by the dqds algorithm,
        (c) If there is a cluster of close eigenvalues, "choose" sigma_i
            close to the cluster, and go to step (a),
        (d) Given the approximate eigenvalue lambda_j of L_i D_i L_i^T,
            compute the corresponding eigenvector by forming a
            rank-revealing twisted factorization.
     The desired accuracy of the output can be specified by the input
     parameter ABSTOL.

     tridiagonal eigenvalue/eigenvector problem", by Inderjit Dhillon,

     Note 1 : SSTEVR calls SSTEGR when the full spectrum is requested on
     machines which conform to the ieee-754 floating point standard.  SSTEVR
     calls SSTEBZ and SSTEIN on non-ieee machines and
     when partial spectrum requests are made.

     Normal execution of SSTEGR may create NaNs and infinities and hence may
     abort due to a floating point exception in environments which do not
     handle NaNs and infinities in the ieee standard default manner.


ARGUMENTS
     JOBZ    (input) CHARACTER*1
             = 'N':  Compute eigenvalues only;
             = 'V':  Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

     RANGE   (input) CHARACTER*1
             = 'A': all eigenvalues will be found.
             = 'V': all eigenvalues in the half-open interval (VL,VU] will be
             found.  = 'I': the IL-th through IU-th eigenvalues will be found.

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

     D       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N)
             On entry, the n diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.
             On exit, D may be multiplied by a constant factor chosen to avoid
             over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.

     E       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N)
             On entry, the (n-1) subdiagonal elements of the tridiagonal
             matrix A in elements 1 to N-1 of E; E(N) need not be set.  On
             exit, E may be multiplied by a constant factor chosen to avoid
             over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.

     VL      (input) REAL
             VU      (input) REAL If RANGE='V', the lower and upper bounds of
             the interval to be searched for eigenvalues. VL < VU.  Not
             referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'I'.

     IL      (input) INTEGER
             IU      (input) INTEGER If RANGE='I', the indices (in ascending
             order) of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned.  1
             <= IL <= IU <= N, if N > 0; IL = 1 and IU = 0 if N = 0.  Not
             referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'V'.

     ABSTOL  (input) REAL
             The absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues.  An approximate
             eigenvalue is accepted as converged when it is determined to lie
             in an interval [a,b] of width less than or equal to

             ABSTOL + EPS *   max( |a|,|b| ) ,

             where EPS is the machine precision.  If ABSTOL is less than or
             equal to zero, then  EPS*|T|  will be used in its place, where
             |T| is the 1-norm of the tridiagonal matrix obtained by reducing
             A to tridiagonal form.

             See "Computing Small Singular Values of Bidiagonal Matrices with
             Guaranteed High Relative Accuracy," by Demmel and Kahan, LAPACK
             Working Note #3.

             If high relative accuracy is important, set ABSTOL to SLAMCH(
             'Safe minimum' ).  Doing so will guarantee that eigenvalues are
             computed to high relative accuracy when possible in future
             releases.  The current code does not make any guarantees about
             high relative accuracy, but future releases will. See J. Barlow
             and J. Demmel, "Computing Accurate Eigensystems of Scaled
             Diagonally Dominant Matrices", LAPACK Working Note #7, for a
             discussion of which matrices define their eigenvalues to high
             relative accuracy.

     M       (output) INTEGER
             The total number of eigenvalues found.  0 <= M <= N.  If RANGE =
             'A', M = N, and if RANGE = 'I', M = IU-IL+1.

     W       (output) REAL array, dimension (N)
             The first M elements contain the selected eigenvalues in
             ascending order.

     Z       (output) REAL array, dimension (LDZ, max(1,M) )
             If JOBZ = 'V', then if INFO = 0, the first M columns of Z contain
             the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A corresponding to the
             selected eigenvalues, with the i-th column of Z holding the
             eigenvector associated with W(i).  Note: the user must ensure
             that at least max(1,M) columns are supplied in the array Z; if
             RANGE = 'V', the exact value of M is not known in advance and an
             upper bound must be used.

     LDZ     (input) INTEGER
             The leading dimension of the array Z.  LDZ >= 1, and if JOBZ =
             'V', LDZ >= max(1,N).

     ISUPPZ  (output) INTEGER array, dimension ( 2*max(1,M) )
             The support of the eigenvectors in Z, i.e., the indices
             indicating the nonzero elements in Z. The i-th eigenvector is
             nonzero only in elements ISUPPZ( 2*i-1 ) through ISUPPZ( 2*i ).

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

     LWORK   (input) INTEGER
             The dimension of the array WORK.  LWORK >= 20*N.

             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.

     IWORK   (workspace/output) INTEGER array, dimension (LIWORK)
             On exit, if INFO = 0, IWORK(1) returns the optimal (and minimal)
             LIWORK.

     LIWORK  (input) INTEGER
             The dimension of the array IWORK.  LIWORK >= 10*N.

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

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