1  Purpose

nag_dsyr (f16ppc) performs a rank-1 update on a real symmetric matrix.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf16.h>
void  nag_dsyr (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, double alpha, const double x[], Integer incx, double beta, double a[], Integer pda, NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_dsyr (f16ppc) performs the symmetric rank-1 update operation
AαxxT+βA,
where A is an n by n real symmetric matrix, x is an n-element real vector, while α and β are real scalars.

5  Arguments

1:     orderNag_OrderTypeInput
On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by order=Nag_RowMajor. See Section 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     uploNag_UploTypeInput
On entry: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of A is stored.
uplo=Nag_Upper
The upper triangular part of A is stored.
uplo=Nag_Lower
The lower triangular part of A is stored.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
3:     nIntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
4:     alphadoubleInput
On entry: the scalar α.
5:     x[dim]const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least max1,1+n-1incx.
On entry: the vector x.
6:     incxIntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of x.
Constraint: incx0.
7:     betadoubleInput
On entry: the scalar β.
8:     a[dim]doubleInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least max1,pda×n.
On entry: the n by n symmetric matrix A.
If order=Nag_ColMajor, Aij is stored in a[j-1×pda+i-1].
If order=Nag_RowMajor, Aij is stored in a[i-1×pda+j-1].
If uplo=Nag_Upper, the upper triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, the lower triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
On exit: the updated matrix A.
9:     pdaIntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix A in the array a.
Constraint: pdamax1,n.
10:   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, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
NE_INT_2
On entry, pda=value, n=value.
Constraint: pdamax1,n.

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

Not applicable.

9  Further Comments

None.

10  Example

Perform rank-1 update of real symmetric matrix A using vector x:
A A - x xT ,
where A is the 4 by 4 matrix given by
A = 4.30 4.00 0.40 -0.28 4.00 -4.87 0.31 0.07 0.40 0.31 -8.02 -5.95 -0.28 0.07 -5.95 0.12
and
x = 2.0,2.0,0.2,-0.14T .
