CSIFA(3F)

NAME
     CSIFA   - CSIFA factors a complex symmetric matrix by elimination with
     symmetric pivoting.

     To solve  A*X = B , follow CSIFA by CSISL.  To compute  INVERSE(A)*C ,
     follow CSIFA by CSISL.  To compute  DETERMINANT(A) , follow CSIFA by
     CSIDI.  To compute  INVERSE(A) , follow CSIFA by CSIDI.


SYNOPSYS
      SUBROUTINE CSIFA(A,LDA,N,KPVT,INFO)

DESCRIPTION
     On Entry

     A COMPLEX(LDA,N)
        the symmetric matrix to be factored.
        Only the diagonal and upper triangle are used.

     LDA INTEGER
        the leading dimension of the array  A .

     N INTEGER
        the order of the matrix  A .  On Return

     A a block diagonal matrix and the multipliers which
        were used to obtain it.
        The factorization can be written  A = U*D*TRANS(U)
        where  U  is a product of permutation and unit
        upper triangular matrices , TRANS(U) is the
        transpose of  U , and  D  is block diagonal
        with 1 by 1 and 2 by 2 blocks.  KVPT    INTEGER(N)
        an integer vector of pivot indices.

     INFO INTEGER
        = 0  normal value.
        = K  if the K-th pivot block is singular.  This is
        not an error condition for this subroutine,
        but it does indicate that CSISL or CSIDI may
        divide by zero if called.  LINPACK.  This version dated 08/14/78 .
