Purpose

DLANEG computes the Sturm count, the number of negative pivots encountered while factoring tridiagonal T - sigma I = L D L^T. This implementation works directly on the factors without forming the tridiagonal matrix T. The Sturm count is also the number of eigenvalues of T less than sigma.
This routine is called from DLARRB.
The current routine does not use the PIVMIN parameter but rather requires IEEE-754 propagation of Infinities and NaNs. This routine also has no input range restrictions but does require default exception handling such that x/0 produces Inf when x is non-zero, and Inf/Inf produces NaN. For more information, see: Marques, Riedy, and Voemel, "Benefits of IEEE-754 Features in Modern Symmetric Tridiagonal Eigensolvers," SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, v28, n5, 2006.

Arguments

N (input) INTEGER

The order of the matrix.

D (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)

The N diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D.

LLD (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N-1)

The (N-1) elements L(i)*L(i)*D(i).

SIGMA (input) DOUBLE PRECISION

Shift amount in T - sigma I = L D L^T.

PIVMIN (input) DOUBLE PRECISION

The minimum pivot in the Sturm sequence. May be used when zero pivots are encountered on non-IEEE-754 architectures.

R (input) INTEGER

The twist index for the twisted factorization that is used for the negcount.
