1  Purpose

nag_dgbmv (f16pbc) performs matrix-vector multiplication for a real band matrix.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf16.h>
void  nag_dgbmv (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_TransType trans, Integer m, Integer n, Integer kl, Integer ku, double alpha, const double ab[], Integer pdab, const double x[], Integer incx, double beta, double y[], Integer incy, NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_dgbmv (f16pbc) performs one of the matrix-vector operations
yαAx+βy,   or  yαATx+βy,  
where A is an m by n real band matrix with kl subdiagonals and ku superdiagonals, x and y are real vectors, and α and β are real scalars.
If m=0 or n=0, no operation is performed.

5  Arguments

1:     order Nag_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:     trans Nag_TransTypeInput
On entry: specifies the operation to be performed.
trans=Nag_NoTrans
yαAx+βy.
trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans
yαATx+βy.
Constraint: trans=Nag_NoTrans, Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans.
3:     m IntegerInput
On entry: m, the number of rows of the matrix A.
Constraint: m0.
4:     n IntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of columns of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
5:     kl IntegerInput
On entry: kl, the number of subdiagonals within the band of A.
Constraint: kl0.
6:     ku IntegerInput
On entry: ku, the number of superdiagonals within the band of A.
Constraint: ku0.
7:     alpha doubleInput
On entry: the scalar α.
8:     ab[dim] const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ab must be at least
  • max1,pdab×n when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max1,m×pdab when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On entry: the m by n band matrix A.
This is stored as a notional two-dimensional array with row elements or column elements stored contiguously. The storage of elements Aij, for row i=1,,m and column j=max1,i-kl,,minn,i+ku, depends on the order argument as follows:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor, Aij is stored as ab[j-1×pdab+ku+i-j];
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor, Aij is stored as ab[i-1×pdab+kl+j-i].
9:     pdab IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix A in the array ab.
Constraint: pdabkl+ku+1.
10:   x[dim] const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least
  • max1,1+n-1incx when trans=Nag_NoTrans;
  • max1,1+m-1incx when trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans.
On entry: the incremented array x must contain the vector x.
11:   incx IntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of x.
Constraint: incx0.
12:   beta doubleInput
On entry: the scalar β.
13:   y[dim] doubleInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array y must be at least
  • max1,1+m-1incy when trans=Nag_NoTrans;
  • max1,1+n-1incy when trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans.
On entry: the incremented array y must contain the vector x.
If beta=0, y need not be set.
On exit: the updated vector y.
14:   incy IntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of y between successive elements of y.
Constraint: incy0.
15:   fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

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

A vector y, of length 6, is updated using y2y+Ax , where A is a 6 by 4 banded matrix with two subdiagonals and one superdiagonal, and x is a vector of length 4.
