//                     C  =  L * D * L-TRANSPOSE 
//  WITH L UNIT LOWER TRIANGULAR AND D DIAGONAL, FOR GIVEN MATRIX C OF 
//  ORDER  N R O W , IN CASE  C  IS (SYMMETRIC) POSITIVE SEMIDEFINITE 
//  AND  B A N D E D , HAVING  N B A N D S  DIAGONALS AT AND BELOW THE

// ******  I N P U T  ****** 
//  NROW.....IS THE ORDER OF THE MATRIX  C . 
//  NBANDS.....INDICATES ITS BANDWIDTH, I.E., 
//          C(I,J) = 0 FOR ABS(I-J) .GT. NBANDS . 
//  W.....WORKARRAY OF SIZE (NBANDS,NROW)  CONTAINING THE  NBANDS  DIAGO-
//        NALS IN ITS ROWS, WITH THE MAIN DIAGONAL IN ROW  1 . PRECISELY, 
//        W(I,J)  CONTAINS  C(I+J-1,J), I=1,...,NBANDS, J=1,...,NROW. 
//          FOR EXAMPLE, THE INTERESTING ENTRIES OF A SEVEN DIAGONAL SYM-
//        METRIC MATRIX  C  OF ORDER  9  WOULD BE STORED IN  W  AS 
//                       11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99

//        ALL OTHER ENTRIES OF  W  NOT IDENTIFIED IN THIS WAY WITH AN EN-

//  W.....CONTAINS THE CHOLESKY FACTORIZATION  C = L*D*L-TRANSP, WITH 
//        W(1,I) CONTAINING  1/D(I,I)

//   GAUSS ELIMINATION, ADAPTED TO THE SYMMETRY AND BANDEDNESS OF  C , IS
//   USED . 
//     NEAR ZERO PIVOTS ARE HANDLED IN A SPECIAL WAY. THE DIAGONAL ELE- 
//  MENT C(N,N) = W(1,N) IS SAVED INITIALLY IN  DIAG(N), ALL N. AT THE N- 
//  TH ELIMINATION STEP, THE CURRENT PIVOT ELEMENT, VIZ.  W(1,N), IS COM- 
//  PARED WITH ITS ORIGINAL VALUE, DIAG(N). IF, AS THE RESULT OF PRIOR 
//  ELIMINATION STEPS, THIS ELEMENT HAS BEEN REDUCED BY ABOUT A WORD 
//  LENGTH, (I.E., IF W(1,N)+DIAG(N) .LE. DIAG(N)), THEN THE PIVOT IS DE- 
//  CLARED TO BE ZERO, AND THE ENTIRE N-TH ROW IS DECLARED TO BE LINEARLY 
//  DEPENDENT ON THE PRECEDING ROWS. THIS HAS THE EFFECT OF PRODUCING 
//   X(N) = 0  WHEN SOLVING  C*X = B  FOR  X, REGARDLESS OF  B. JUSTIFIC- 
//  ATION FOR THIS IS AS FOLLOWS. IN CONTEMPLATED APPLICATIONS OF THIS 
//  PROGRAM, THE GIVEN EQUATIONS ARE THE NORMAL EQUATIONS FOR SOME LEAST- 
//  SQUARES APPROXIMATION PROBLEM, DIAG(N) = C(N,N) GIVES THE NORM-SQUARE 
//  OF THE N-TH BASIS FUNCTION, AND, AT THIS POINT,  W(1,N)  CONTAINS THE 
//  NORM-SQUARE OF THE ERROR IN THE LEAST-SQUARES APPROXIMATION TO THE N- 
//  TH BASIS FUNCTION BY LINEAR COMBINATIONS OF THE FIRST N-1 . HAVING 
//  W(1,N)+DIAG(N) .LE. DIAG(N) SIGNIFIES THAT THE N-TH FUNCTION IS LIN-  
//  EARLY DEPENDENT TO MACHINE ACCURACY ON THE FIRST N-1 FUNCTIONS, THERE 
//  FORE CAN SAFELY BE LEFT OUT FROM THE BASIS OF APPROXIMATING FUNCTIONS 
//     THE SOLUTION OF A LINEAR SYSTEM 
//                       C*X = B 
//   IS EFFECTED BY THE SUCCESSION OF THE FOLLOWING  T W O  CALLS: 
//     CALL B1HFAC ( W, NBANDS, NROW, DIAG )       , TO GET FACTORIZATION 
//     CALL B1HSLV ( W, NBANDS, NROW, B, X )            , TO SOLVE FOR X.
