nag_zhfrk (f16zqc)

1
Purpose

nag_zhfrk (f16zqc) performs one of the Hermitian rank-k update operations
CαAAH + βC   or   CαAHA + βC ,  
where A is a complex matrix, C is an n by n complex Hermitian matrix stored in Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) format, and α and β are real scalars.

Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf16.h>
void  nag_zhfrk (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_RFP_Store transr, Nag_UploType uplo, Nag_TransType trans, Integer n, Integer k, double alpha, const Complex a[], Integer pda, double beta, Complex cr[], NagError *fail)

Description

nag_zhfrk (f16zqc) performs one of the Hermitian rank-k update operations
CαAAH + βC   or   CαAHA + βC ,  
where A is a complex matrix, C is an n by n complex Hermitian matrix stored in Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) format, and α and β are real scalars. The RFP storage format is described in Section 3.3.3 in the f07 Chapter Introduction.
If n=0 or if β=1.0 and either k=0 or α=0.0 then nag_zhfrk (f16zqc) returns immediately. If β=0.0 and either k=0 or α=0.0 then C is set to the zero matrix.

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:     transr Nag_RFP_StoreInput
On entry: specifies whether the normal RFP representation of C or its conjugate transpose is stored.
transr=Nag_RFP_Normal
The matrix C is stored in normal RFP format.
transr=Nag_RFP_ConjTrans
The conjugate transpose of the RFP representation of the matrix C is stored.
Constraint: transr=Nag_RFP_Normal or Nag_RFP_ConjTrans.
3:     uplo Nag_UploTypeInput
On entry: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of C is stored in RFP format.
uplo=Nag_Upper
The upper triangular part of C is stored in RFP format.
uplo=Nag_Lower
The lower triangular part of C is stored in RFP format.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
4:     trans Nag_TransTypeInput
On entry: specifies the operation to be performed.
trans=Nag_NoTrans
CαAAH+βC.
trans=Nag_ConjTrans
CαAHA+βC.
Constraint: trans=Nag_NoTrans or Nag_ConjTrans.
5:     n IntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix C.
Constraint: n0.
6:     k IntegerInput
On entry: k, the number of columns of A if trans=Nag_NoTrans, or the number of rows of A if trans=Nag_ConjTrans.
Constraint: k0.
7:     alpha doubleInput
On entry: the scalar α.
8:     a[dim] const ComplexInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least
  • max1,pda×k when trans=Nag_NoTrans and order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max1,n×pda when trans=Nag_NoTrans and order=Nag_RowMajor;
  • max1,pda×n when trans=Nag_ConjTrans and order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max1,k×pda when trans=Nag_ConjTrans and order=Nag_RowMajor.
On entry: the matrix A; A is n by k if trans=Nag_NoTrans, or k by n if trans=Nag_ConjTrans. If alpha=0.0, a is not referenced.
9:     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,
    • if trans=Nag_NoTrans, pda max1,n ;
    • if trans=Nag_ConjTrans, pda max1,k ;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor,

10:   beta doubleInput
On entry: the scalar β.
11:   cr[n×n+1/2] ComplexInput/Output
On entry: the upper or lower triangular part (as specified by uplo) of the n by n Hermitian matrix C, stored in RFP format (as specified by transr). The storage format is described in detail in Section 3.3.3 in the f07 Chapter Introduction. If β=0.0, cr need not be set on entry.
On exit: the updated matrix C, that is its upper or lower triangular part stored in RFP format.
12:   fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

Example

This example reads in the lower triangular part of a symmetric matrix C which it converts to RFP format. It also reads in α, β and a 4 by 3 matrix A and then performs the Hermitian rank-3 update CαAAH+βC.
