1  Purpose

nag_zaxpby (f16gcc) computes the sum of two scaled vectors, for complex scalars and vectors.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf16.h>
void  nag_zaxpby (Integer n, Complex alpha, const Complex x[], Integer incx, Complex beta, Complex y[], Integer incy, NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_zaxpby (f16gcc) performs the operation
y αx+βy,
where x and y are n-element complex vectors, and α and β are complex scalars. If n is equal to zero, or if α is equal to zero and β is equal to 1, this function returns immediately.

5  Arguments

1:     nIntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of elements in x and y.
Constraint: n0.
2:     alphaComplexInput
On entry: the scalar α.
3:     x[dim]const ComplexInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least max1,1+n-1×incx.
On entry: the n-element vector x.
If incx>0, xi must be stored in x[i-1×incx], for i=1,2,,n.
If incx<0, xi must be stored in x[n-i×incx], for i=1,2,,n.
Intermediate elements of x are not referenced.
4:     incxIntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of x.
Constraint: incx0.
5:     betaComplexInput
On entry: the scalar β.
6:     y[dim]ComplexInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array y must be at least max1,1+n-1×incy.
On entry: the n-element vector y.
If incy>0, yi must be stored in y[i-1×incy], for i=1,2,,n.
If incy<0, yi must be stored in y[n-i×incy], for i=1,2,,n.
Intermediate elements of y are not referenced.
On exit: the updated vector y stored in the array elements used to supply the original vector y.
Intermediate elements of y are unchanged.
7:     incyIntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of y between successive elements of y.
Constraint: incy0.
8:     failNagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
NE_INT
On entry, incx=value.
Constraint: incx0.
On entry, incy=value.
Constraint: incy0.
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.

7  Accuracy

The BLAS standard requires accurate implementations which avoid unnecessary over/underflow (see Section 2.7 of Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms Technical (BLAST) Forum (2001)).

8  Parallelism and Performance

nag_zaxpby (f16gcc) is not threaded by NAG in any implementation.
nag_zaxpby (f16gcc) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9  Further Comments

None.
