SLARFB applies a block reflector or its transpose to a general rectangular matrix.

SLARFB applies a block reflector or its transpose to a general rectangular matrix.  

Purpose:

 SLARFB applies a real block reflector H or its transpose H**T to a
 real m by n matrix C, from either the left or the right.

Parameters

SIDE

          SIDE is CHARACTER*1
          = 'L': apply H or H**T from the Left
          = 'R': apply H or H**T from the Right

TRANS

          TRANS is CHARACTER*1
          = 'N': apply H (No transpose)
          = 'T': apply H**T (Transpose)

DIRECT

          DIRECT is CHARACTER*1
          Indicates how H is formed from a product of elementary
          reflectors
          = 'F': H = H(1) H(2) . . . H(k) (Forward)
          = 'B': H = H(k) . . . H(2) H(1) (Backward)

STOREV

          STOREV is CHARACTER*1
          Indicates how the vectors which define the elementary
          reflectors are stored:
          = 'C': Columnwise
          = 'R': Rowwise

M

          M is INTEGER
          The number of rows of the matrix C.

N

          N is INTEGER
          The number of columns of the matrix C.

K

          K is INTEGER
          The order of the matrix T (= the number of elementary
          reflectors whose product defines the block reflector).
          If SIDE = 'L', M >= K >= 0;
          if SIDE = 'R', N >= K >= 0.

V

          V is REAL array, dimension
                                (LDV,K) if STOREV = 'C'
                                (LDV,M) if STOREV = 'R' and SIDE = 'L'
                                (LDV,N) if STOREV = 'R' and SIDE = 'R'
          The matrix V. See Further Details.

LDV

          LDV is INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array V.
          If STOREV = 'C' and SIDE = 'L', LDV >= max(1,M);
          if STOREV = 'C' and SIDE = 'R', LDV >= max(1,N);
          if STOREV = 'R', LDV >= K.

T

          T is REAL array, dimension (LDT,K)
          The triangular k by k matrix T in the representation of the
          block reflector.

LDT

          LDT is INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array T. LDT >= K.

C

          C is REAL array, dimension (LDC,N)
          On entry, the m by n matrix C.
          On exit, C is overwritten by H*C or H**T*C or C*H or C*H**T.

LDC

          LDC is INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array C. LDC >= max(1,M).

WORK

          WORK is REAL array, dimension (LDWORK,K)

LDWORK

          LDWORK is INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array WORK.
          If SIDE = 'L', LDWORK >= max(1,N);
          if SIDE = 'R', LDWORK >= max(1,M).

Further Details:

  The shape of the matrix V and the storage of the vectors which define
  the H(i) is best illustrated by the following example with n = 5 and
  k = 3. The elements equal to 1 are not stored; the corresponding
  array elements are modified but restored on exit. The rest of the
  array is not used.

  DIRECT = 'F' and STOREV = 'C':         DIRECT = 'F' and STOREV = 'R':

               V = (  1       )                 V = (  1 v1 v1 v1 v1 )
                   ( v1  1    )                     (     1 v2 v2 v2 )
                   ( v1 v2  1 )                     (        1 v3 v3 )
                   ( v1 v2 v3 )
                   ( v1 v2 v3 )

  DIRECT = 'B' and STOREV = 'C':         DIRECT = 'B' and STOREV = 'R':

               V = ( v1 v2 v3 )                 V = ( v1 v1  1       )
                   ( v1 v2 v3 )                     ( v2 v2 v2  1    )
                   (  1 v2 v3 )                     ( v3 v3 v3 v3  1 )
                   (     1 v3 )
                   (        1 )
