PURPOSE
     ZPTRFS improves the computed solution to a system of linear equations
     when the coefficient matrix is Hermitian positive definite and
     tridiagonal, and provides error bounds and backward error estimates for
     the solution.


ARGUMENTS
     UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
             Specifies whether the superdiagonal or the subdiagonal of the
             tridiagonal matrix A is stored and the form of the factorization:
             = 'U':  E is the superdiagonal of A, and A = U**H*D*U;
             = 'L':  E is the subdiagonal of A, and A = L*D*L**H.  (The two
             forms are equivalent if A is real.)

     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 matrix B.  NRHS >= 0.

     D       (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
             The n real diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.

     E       (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N-1)
             The (n-1) off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A (see
             UPLO).

     DF      (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
             The n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D from the
             factorization computed by ZPTTRF.
     EF      (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N-1)
             The (n-1) off-diagonal elements of the unit bidiagonal factor U
             or L from the factorization computed by ZPTTRF (see UPLO).

     B       (input) COMPLEX*16 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) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
             On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by ZPTTRS.  On exit,
             the improved solution matrix X.

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

     FERR    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
             The 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).

     BERR    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION 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*16 array, dimension (N)

     RWORK   (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION 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.
