PURPOSE
  ZPBTF2 - compute the Cholesky factorization of a complex Hermitian positive
  definite band matrix A

SYNTAX
  SUBROUTINE ZPBTF2( UPLO, N, KD, AB, LDAB, INFO )

      CHARACTER	     UPLO

      INTEGER	     INFO, KD, LDAB, N

      COMPLEX*16     AB( LDAB, * )

DESCRIPTION
  ZPBTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization of a complex Hermitian positive
  definite band matrix A.  The factorization has the form
     A = U' * U ,  if UPLO = 'U', or
     A = L  * L',  if UPLO = 'L',
  where U is an upper triangular matrix, U' is the conjugate transpose of U,
  and L is lower triangular.

  This is the unblocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 2 BLAS.

ARGUMENTS
  UPLO	  (input) CHARACTER*1
	  Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the
	  Hermitian matrix A is stored:
	  = 'U':  Upper triangular
	  = 'L':  Lower triangular

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

  KD	  (input) INTEGER
	  The number of super-diagonals of the matrix A if UPLO = 'U', or the
	  number of sub-diagonals if UPLO = 'L'.  KD >= 0.

  AB	  (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAB,N)
	  On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the Hermitian band matrix
	  A, stored in the first KD+1 rows of the array.  The j-th column of
	  A is stored in the j-th column of the array AB as follows: if UPLO
	  = 'U', AB(kd+1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-kd)<=i<=j; if UPLO =
	  'L', AB(1+i-j,j)    = A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+kd).

	  On exit, if INFO = 0, the triangular factor U or L from the
	  Cholesky factorization A = U'*U or A = L*L' of the band matrix A,
	  in the same storage format as A.

  LDAB	  (input) INTEGER
	  The leading dimension of the array AB.  LDAB >= KD+1.

  INFO	  (output) INTEGER
	  = 0: successful exit
	  < 0: if INFO = -k, the k-th argument had an illegal value
	  > 0: if INFO = k, the leading minor of order k is not positive
	  definite, and the factorization could not be completed.

FURTHER DETAILS
  The band storage scheme is illustrated by the following example, when N =
  6, KD = 2, and UPLO = 'U':

  On entry:			  On exit:

      *	   *   a13  a24	 a35  a46      *    *	u13  u24  u35  u46
      *	  a12  a23  a34	 a45  a56      *   u12	u23  u34  u45  u56
     a11  a22  a33  a44	 a55  a66     u11  u22	u33  u44  u55  u66

  Similarly, if UPLO = 'L' the format of A is as follows:

  On entry:			  On exit:

     a11  a22  a33  a44	 a55  a66     l11  l22	l33  l44  l55  l66
     a21  a32  a43  a54	 a65   *      l21  l32	l43  l54  l65	*
     a31  a42  a53  a64	  *    *      l31  l42	l53  l64   *	*

  Array elements marked * are not used by the routine.
