1  Purpose

nag_zwaxpby (f16ghc) computes the sum of two scaled vectors, preserving input, for complex scalars and vectors.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf16.h>
void  nag_zwaxpby (Integer n, Complex alpha, const Complex x[], Integer incx, Complex beta, const Complex y[], Integer incy, Complex w[], Integer incw, NagError *fail)

3  Description

5  Arguments

1:     nIntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of elements in x, y and w.
Constraint: n0.
2:     alphaComplexInput
On entry: the scalar α.
3:     x[dim]const ComplexInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least max1,1+n-1×incx.
On entry: the n-element vector x.
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-2], for i=1,2,,n.
Intermediate elements of x are not referenced.
4:     incxIntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of x.
Constraint: incx0.
5:     betaComplexInput
On entry: the scalar β.
6:     y[dim]const ComplexInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array y must be at least max1,1+n-1×incy.
On entry: the n-element vector y.
If incy>0, yi must be stored in y[1+i-1×incy-1], for i=1,2,,n.
If incy<0, yi must be stored in y[1-n-i×incy-1], for i=1,2,,n.
Intermediate elements of y are not referenced.
7:     incyIntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of y between successive elements of y.
Constraint: incy0.
8:     w[dim]ComplexOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array w must be at least max1,1+n-1×incw.
On exit: the n-element vector w.
If incw>0, wi is in w[1+i-1×incw-1] , for i=1,2,,n.
If incw<0, wi is in w[1+n-i×incw-1] , for i=1,2,,n.
Intermediate elements of w are not referenced.
9:     incwIntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of w between successive elements of w.
Constraint: incw0.
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, incw=value.
Constraint: incw0.
On entry, incx=value.
Constraint: incx0.
On entry, incy=value.
Constraint: incy0.
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.

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.
