NAG C Library Function Document

nag_dger (f16pmc)

1
Purpose

nag_dger (f16pmc) performs a rank-1 update on a real general matrix.

2
Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf16.h>
void  nag_dger (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_ConjType conj, Integer m, Integer n, double alpha, const double x[], Integer incx, const double y[], Integer incy, double beta, double a[], Integer pda, NagError *fail)

Description

nag_dger (f16pmc) performs the rank-1 update operation
AαxyT+βA,  
where A is an m by n real matrix, x is an m element real vector, y is an n-element real vector, and α and β are real scalars. If m or n is equal to zero or if β is equal to one and α is equal to zero, this function returns immediately.

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 3.3.1.3 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     conj Nag_ConjTypeInput
On entry: the argument conj is not referenced if x and y are real vectors. It is suggested that you set conj=Nag_NoConj where the elements yi are not conjugated.
Constraint: conj=Nag_NoConj.
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:     alpha doubleInput
On entry: the scalar α.
6:     x[dim] const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least max1,1+n-1incx.
On entry: the n-element vector x.
If incx>0, xi must be stored in x[i-1×incx], for i=1,2,,m.
If incx<0, xi must be stored in x[m-i×incx], for i=1,2,,m.
Intermediate elements of x are not referenced. If m=0, x is not referenced and may be NULL.
7:     incx IntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of x.
Constraint: incx0.
8:     y[dim] const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array y must be at least max1,1+n-1incy.
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. If α=0.0 or n=0, y is not referenced and may be NULL.
9:     incy IntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of y between successive elements of y.
Constraint: incy0.
10:   beta doubleInput
On entry: the scalar β.
11:   a[dim] doubleInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least
  • max1,pda×n when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max1,m×pda when order=Nag_RowMajor.
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].
On entry: the m by n matrix A.
On exit: the updated matrix A.
12:   pda IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.
Constraints:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor, pdamax1,m;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor, pdan.
13:   fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

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_dger (f16pmc) is not threaded in any implementation.

9
Further Comments

The argument conj is not referenced in this case where x and y are real vectors.

Example

Perform rank-1 update of real matrix A using vectors x and y:
A A - x yT ,  
where A is the 3 by 2 matrix given by
A = 3.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 9.0 ,  
x = 2.0,3.0,5.0T   and   y = 0.0,1.0,0.0T .
