LFDQS
Computes the determinant of a real symmetric positive definite matrix given the RTR Cholesky factorization of the matrix in band symmetric storage mode.
Required Arguments
FACTNCODA + 1 by N array containing the RT R factorization of the positive definite band matrix, A, in band symmetric storage mode as output from subroutine LFCQS/DLFCQS or LFTQS/DLFTQS. (Input)
NCODA — Number of upper codiagonals of A. (Input)
DET1 — Scalar containing the mantissa of the determinant. (Output)
The value DET1 is normalized so that 1.0  ǀDET1ǀ < 10.0 or DET1 = 0.0.
DET2 — Scalar containing the exponent of the determinant. (Output)
The determinant is returned in the form det(A) = DET1 * 10DET2.
Optional Arguments
N — Number of equations. (Input)
Default: N = size (FACT,2).
LDFACT — Leading dimension of FACT exactly as specified in the dimension statement of the calling program. (Input)
Default: LDFACT = size (FACT,1).

Description
Routine LFDQS computes the determinant of a real symmetric positive-definite band coefficient matrix. To compute the determinant, the coefficient matrix must first undergo an RT R factorization. This may be done by calling either IMSL routine LFCQS or LFTQS. The formula
det A = det RT det R = (det R)2 is used to compute the determinant. Since the determinant of a triangular matrix is the product of the diagonal elements,
LFDQS is based on the LINPACK routine SPBDI; see Dongarra et al. (1979).
Example
The determinant is computed for a real positive definite 4 × 4 matrix with 2 codiagonals.
