Purpose

nag_zgemv (f16sac) performs matrix-vector multiplication for a complex general matrix.

Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf16.h>
void  nag_zgemv (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_TransType trans, Integer m, Integer n, Complex alpha, const Complex a[], Integer pda, const Complex x[], Integer incx, Complex beta, Complex y[], Integer incy, NagError *fail)

Description

nag_zgemv (f16sac) performs one of the matrix-vector operations
yαAx+βy,  yαATx+βy  or  yαAHx+βy  
where A is an m by n complex matrix, x and y are complex vectors, and α and β are complex scalars.
If m=0 or n=0, no operation is performed.

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:     trans Nag_TransTypeInput
On entry: specifies the operation to be performed.
trans=Nag_NoTrans
yαAx+βy.
trans=Nag_Trans
yαATx+βy.
trans=Nag_ConjTrans
yαAHx+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:     alpha ComplexInput
On entry: the scalar α.
6:     a[dim] const ComplexInput
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.
7:     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.
8:     x[dim] const ComplexInput
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 vector x.
If trans=Nag_NoTrans, then x is an n-element vector.
  • 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. If n=0, x is not referenced and may be NULL.
Otherwise, x is an m-element vector.
  • 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.
9:     incx IntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of x.
Constraint: incx0.
10:   beta ComplexInput
On entry: the scalar β.
11:   y[dim] ComplexInput/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 vector y. See x for details of storage.
If beta=0, y need not be set.
On exit: the updated vector y.
12:   incy IntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of y between successive elements of y.
Constraint: incy0.
13:   fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

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_zgemv (f16sac) is not threaded in any implementation.
