PURPOSE

  CHPRFS improves the computed solution to a system of linear equations when
  the coefficient matrix is Hermitian indefinite and packed, and provides
  error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution.

ARGUMENTS

  UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
          = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
          = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

  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
          matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

  AP      (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
          The upper or lower triangle of the Hermitian matrix A, packed
          columnwise in a linear array.  The j-th column of A is stored in
          the array AP as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j)
          for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for
          j<=i<=n.

  AFP     (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
          The factored form of the matrix A.  AFP contains the block diagonal
          matrix D and the multipliers used to obtain the factor U or L from
          the factorization A = U*D*U**H or A = L*D*L**H as computed by
          CHPTRF, stored as a packed triangular matrix.

  IPIV    (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
          Details of the interchanges and the block structure of D as
          determined by CHPTRF.

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

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

  FERR    (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
          The estimated 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).  The estimate is
          as reliable as the estimate for RCOND, and is almost always a
          slight overestimate of the true error.

  BERR    (output) REAL 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 array, dimension (2*N)

  RWORK   (workspace) REAL 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.
