PURPOSE
       DSTEVX computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a
       real  symmetric tridiagonal matrix A.  Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can
       be selected by specifying either a  range  of  values  or  a  range  of
       indices for the desired eigenvalues.


ARGUMENTS
       JOBZ    (input) CHARACTER*1
               = 'N':  Compute eigenvalues only;
               = 'V':  Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

       RANGE   (input) CHARACTER*1
               = 'A': all eigenvalues will be found.
               =  'V':  all eigenvalues in the half-open interval (VL,VU] will
               be found.  = 'I': the IL-th through IU-th eigenvalues  will  be
               found.

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

       D       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
               On  entry, the n diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.
               On exit, D may be multiplied by a  constant  factor  chosen  to
               avoid over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.

       E       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (max(1,N-1))
               On  entry,  the  (n-1)  subdiagonal elements of the tridiagonal
               matrix A in elements 1 to N-1 of E.  On exit, E may  be  multi-
               plied  by  a  constant factor chosen to avoid over/underflow in
               computing the eigenvalues.

       VL      (input) DOUBLE PRECISION
               VU      (input) DOUBLE PRECISION If RANGE='V',  the  lower  and
               upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues. VL
               < VU.  Not referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'I'.

       IL      (input) INTEGER
               IU      (input) INTEGER If RANGE='I', the indices (in ascending
               order)  of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned.
               1 <= IL <= IU <= N, if N > 0; IL = 1 and IU = 0 if N = 0.   Not
               referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'V'.

       ABSTOL  (input) DOUBLE PRECISION
               The  absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues.  An approxi-
               mate eigenvalue is accepted as converged when it is  determined
               to lie in an interval [a,b] of width less than or equal to

               ABSTOL + EPS *   max( |a|,|b| ) ,

               where  EPS is the machine precision.  If ABSTOL is less than or
               equal to zero, then  EPS*|T|  will be used in its place,  where
               |T| is the 1-norm of the tridiagonal matrix.

               Eigenvalues will be computed most accurately when ABSTOL is set
               to twice the underflow threshold 2*DLAMCH('S'), not  zero.   If
               this  routine  returns with INFO>0, indicating that some eigen-
               vectors did not converge, try setting ABSTOL to  2*DLAMCH('S').

               with Guaranteed High Relative Accuracy," by Demmel  and  Kahan,
               LAPACK Working Note #3.

       M       (output) INTEGER
               The  total number of eigenvalues found.  0 <= M <= N.  If RANGE
               = 'A', M = N, and if RANGE = 'I', M = IU-IL+1.

       W       (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
               The first  M  elements  contain  the  selected  eigenvalues  in
               ascending order.

       Z       (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDZ, max(1,M) )
               If  JOBZ = 'V', then if INFO = 0, the first M columns of Z con-
               tain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A corresponding
               to  the selected eigenvalues, with the i-th column of Z holding
               the eigenvector associated with W(i).  If an eigenvector  fails
               to converge (INFO > 0), then that column of Z contains the lat-
               est approximation to the eigenvector,  and  the  index  of  the
               eigenvector is returned in IFAIL.  If JOBZ = 'N', then Z is not
               referenced.  Note: the user must ensure that at least  max(1,M)
               columns  are supplied in the array Z; if RANGE = 'V', the exact
               value of M is not known in advance and an upper bound  must  be
               used.

       LDZ     (input) INTEGER
               The  leading dimension of the array Z.  LDZ >= 1, and if JOBZ =
               'V', LDZ >= max(1,N).

       WORK    (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (5*N)

       IWORK   (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (5*N)

       IFAIL   (output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
               If JOBZ = 'V', then if INFO = 0, the first M elements of  IFAIL
               are  zero.  If INFO > 0, then IFAIL contains the indices of the
               eigenvectors that failed to converge.   If  JOBZ  =  'N',  then
               IFAIL is not referenced.

       INFO    (output) INTEGER
               = 0:  successful exit
               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
               >  0:   if  INFO  =  i, then i eigenvectors failed to converge.
               Their indices are stored in array IFAIL.
