%% R8PBU_CG uses the conjugate gradient method on a R8PBU system.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The R8PBU storage format is for a symmetric positive definite band matrix.
%
%    To save storage, only the diagonal and upper triangle of A is stored,
%    in a compact diagonal format that preserves columns.
%
%    The diagonal is stored in row MU+1 of the array.
%    The first superdiagonal in row MU, columns 2 through N.
%    The second superdiagonal in row MU-1, columns 3 through N.
%    The MU-th superdiagonal in row 1, columns MU+1 through N.
%
%    The matrix A must be a positive definite symmetric band matrix.
%
%    The method is designed to reach the solution after N computational
%    steps.  However, roundoff may introduce unacceptably large errors for
%    some problems.  In such a case, calling the routine again, using
%    the computed solution as the new starting estimate, should improve
%    the results.
