# NAG Library Function Documentnag_dwaxpby (f16ehc)

## 1  Purpose

nag_dwaxpby (f16ehc) performs scaled vector accumulation, for real vectors and scalars.

## 2  Specification

 #include #include
 void nag_dwaxpby (Integer n, double alpha, const double x[], Integer incx, double beta, const double y[], Integer incy, double w[], Integer incw, NagError *fail)

## 3  Description

nag_dwaxpby (f16ehc) performs the operation
 $w ← αx+βy,$
where $x$ and $y$ are $n$-element real vectors, and $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are real scalars.

## 5  Arguments

1:     nIntegerInput
On entry: $n$, the number of elements in $x$, $y$ and $w$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{n}}\ge 0$.
On entry: the scalar $\alpha$.
3:     x[$\mathit{dim}$]const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,1+\left({\mathbf{n}}-1\right)×\left|{\mathbf{incx}}\right|\right)$.
On entry: the vector $x$. Element ${x}_{\mathit{i}}$ is stored in ${\mathbf{x}}\left[\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)×\left|{\mathbf{incx}}\right|\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,n$.
4:     incxIntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of $x$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{incx}}\ne 0$.
On entry: the scalar $\beta$.
6:     y[$\mathit{dim}$]const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array y must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,1+\left({\mathbf{n}}-1\right)×\left|{\mathbf{incy}}\right|\right)$.
On entry: the vector $y$. Element ${y}_{\mathit{i}}$ is stored in ${\mathbf{y}}\left[\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)×\left|{\mathbf{incy}}\right|\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,n$.
7:     incyIntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of y between successive elements of $y$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{incy}}\ne 0$.
8:     w[$\mathit{dim}$]doubleOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array w must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,1+\left({\mathbf{n}}-1\right)×\left|{\mathbf{incw}}\right|\right)$.
On exit: $w$, the result of the scaled-vector addition. Element ${w}_{\mathit{i}}$ is stored in ${\mathbf{w}}\left[\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)×\left|{\mathbf{incw}}\right|\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,n$.
9:     incwIntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of w between successive elements of $w$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{incw}}\ne 0$.
10:   failNagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

## 6  Error Indicators and Warnings

On entry, argument $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ had an illegal value.
NE_INT
On entry, ${\mathbf{incw}}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{incw}}\ne 0$.
On entry, ${\mathbf{incx}}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{incx}}\ne 0$.
On entry, ${\mathbf{incy}}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{incy}}\ne 0$.
On entry, ${\mathbf{n}}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{n}}\ge 0$.
