## Input Parameters

- A - the matrix

- reuse - indicates if the `C` matrix was obtained from a previous call to this routine

## Output Parameter

- C - matrix with inverted block diagonal of `A`

## Note

For efficiency the matrix `A` should have all the nonzero entries clustered in smallish blocks along the diagonal.
