%% CPPFA factors a complex hermitian positive definite packed matrix.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The following program segment will pack the upper triangle of a 
%    hermitian matrix.
%
%      k = 0
%      do j = 1, n
%        do i = 1, j
%          k = k + 1
%          ap(k) = a(i,j)
%        end do

%  
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, complex AP(N*(N+1)/2); the packed form 
%    of a hermitian matrix A.  The columns of the upper triangle are 
%    stored sequentially in a one-dimensional array.  
%
%    Input, integer N, the order of the matrix.    
%
%    Output, complex AP(N*(N+1)/2);  an 
%    upper triangular matrix R, stored in packed form, so that
%      A = hermitian(R) * R.
%
%    Output, integer INFO.
%    0, for normal return.
%    K, if the leading minor of order K is not positive definite.
