/* Updates/downdates the LDL' factorization (symbolic, then numeric), by
 * computing a new factorization of
 *
 *  	Lnew * Dnew * Lnew' = Lold * Dold * Lold' +/- C*C'
 *
 * C must be sorted.  It can be either packed or unpacked.  As in all CHOLMOD
 * routines, the columns of L are sorted on input, and also on output.
 *
 * If the factor is not an unpacked LDL' or dynamic LDL', it is converted
 * to an LDL' dynamic factor.  An unpacked LDL' factor may be updated, but if
 * any one column runs out of space, the factor is converted to an LDL'
 * dynamic one.  If the initial conversion fails, the factor is returned
 * unchanged.
 *
 * If memory runs out during the update, the factor is returned as a simplicial
 * symbolic factor.  That is, everything is freed except for the fill-reducing
 * ordering and its corresponding column counts (typically computed by
 * cholmod_analyze).
 *
 * Note that the fill-reducing permutation L->Perm is NOT used.  The row
 * indices of C refer to the rows of L, not A.  If your original system is
 * LDL' = PAP' (where P = L->Perm), and you want to compute the LDL'
 * factorization of A+CC', then you must permute C first.  That is:
 *
 *	PAP' = LDL'
 *	P(A+CC')P' = PAP'+PCC'P' = LDL' + (PC)(PC)' = LDL' + Cnew*Cnew'
 *	where Cnew = P*C.
 *
 * You can use the cholmod_submatrix routine in the MatrixOps module
 * to permute C, with:
 *
 * Cnew = cholmod_submatrix (C, L->Perm, L->n, NULL, -1, TRUE, TRUE, Common) ;
 *
 * Note that the sorted input parameter to cholmod_submatrix must be TRUE,
 * because cholmod_updown requires C with sorted columns.
 *
 * The system Lx=b can also be updated/downdated.  The old system was Lold*x=b.
 * The new system is Lnew*xnew = b + deltab.  The old solution x is overwritten
 * with xnew.  Note that as in the update/downdate of L itself, the fill-
 * reducing permutation L->Perm is not used.  x and b are in the permuted
 * ordering, not your original ordering.  x and b are n-by-1; this routine
 * does not handle multiple right-hand-sides.
 *
 * workspace: Flag (nrow), Head (nrow+1), W (maxrank*nrow), Iwork (nrow),
 * where maxrank is 2, 4, or 8.
 *
 * Only real matrices are supported.  A symbolic L is converted into a
 * numeric identity matrix.

/* Update/downdate LDL' +/- C*C', and update/downdate selected portions of the
 * solution to Lx=b.
 *
 * The original system is L*x = b.  The new system is Lnew*xnew = b + deltab.
 * deltab(i) can be nonzero only if column i of L is modified by the update/
 * downdate.  If column i is not modified, the deltab(i) is not accessed.
 *
 * The solution to Lx=b is not modified if either X or DeltaB are NULL.
 *
 * Rowmark and colmark:
 * --------------------
 *
 * rowmark and colmark affect which portions of L take part in the update/
 * downdate of the solution to Lx=b.  They do not affect how L itself is
 * updated/downdated.  They are both ignored if X or DeltaB are NULL.
 *
 * If not NULL, rowmark is an integer array of size n where L is n-by-n.
 * rowmark [j] defines the part of column j of L that takes part in the update/
 * downdate of the forward solve, Lx=b.  Specifically, if i = rowmark [j],
 * then L(j:i-1,j) is used, and L(i:end,j) is ignored.
 *
 * If not NULL, colmark is an integer array of size C->ncol.  colmark [ccol]
 * for a column C(:,ccol) redefines those parts of L that take part in the
 * update/downdate of Lx=b.  Each column of C affects a set of columns of L.
 * If column ccol of C affects column j of L, then the new rowmark [j] of
 * column j of L is defined as colmark [ccol].  In a multiple-rank update/
 * downdate, if two or more columns of C affect column j, its new rowmark [j]
 * is the colmark of the least-numbered column of C.  colmark is ignored if
 * it is NULL, in which case rowmark is not modified.  If colmark [ccol] is
 * EMPTY (-1), then rowmark is not modified for that particular column of C.
 * colmark is ignored if it is NULL, or rowmark, X, or DeltaB are NULL.
 *
 * The algorithm for modifying the solution to Lx=b when rowmark and colmark
 * are NULL is as follows:
 *
 *	for each column j of L that is modified:
 *	    deltab (j:end) += L (j:end,j) * x(j)
 *	modify L
 *	for each column j of L that is modified:
 *	    x (j) = deltab (j)
 *	    deltab (j) = 0
 *	    deltab (j+1:end) -= L (j+1:end,j) * x(j)
 *
 * If rowmark is non-NULL but colmark is NULL:
 *
 *	for each column j of L that is modified:
 *	    deltab (j:rowmark(j)-1) += L (j:rowmark(j)-1,j) * x(j)
 *	modify L
 *	for each column j of L that is modified:
 *	    x (j) = deltab (j)
 *	    deltab (j) = 0
 *	    deltab (j+1:rowmark(j)-1) -= L (j+1:rowmark(j)-1,j) * x(j)
 *
 * If both rowmark and colmark are non-NULL:
 *
 *	for each column j of L that is modified:
 *	    deltab (j:rowmark(j)-1) += L (j:rowmark(j)-1,j) * x(j)
 *	modify L
 *	for each column j of L that is modified:
 *	    modify rowmark (j) according to colmark
 *	for each column j of L that is modified:
 *	    x (j) = deltab (j)
 *	    deltab (j) = 0
 *	    deltab (j+1:rowmark(j)-1) -= L (j+1:rowmark(j)-1,j) * x(j)
 *
 * Note that if the rank of C exceeds k = Common->maxrank (which is 2, 4, or 8),
 * then the update/downdate is done as a series of rank-k updates.  In this
 * case, the above algorithm is repeated for each block of k columns of C.
 *
 * Unless it leads to no changes in rowmark, colmark should be used only if
 * C->ncol <= Common->maxrank, because the update/downdate is done with maxrank
 * columns at a time.  Otherwise, the results are undefined.
 *
 * This routine is an "expert" routine.  It is meant for use in LPDASA only.
