1  Purpose

nag_iamax_val (f16dqc) computes, with respect to absolute value, the largest component of an integer vector, along with the index of that component.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf16.h>
void  nag_iamax_val (Integer n, const Integer x[], Integer incx, Integer *k, Integer *i, NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_iamax_val (f16dqc) computes, with respect to absolute value, the largest component, i, of an n-element integer vector x, and determines the smallest index, k, such that
i=xk=maxjxj.

5  Arguments

1:     n IntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of elements in x.
Constraint: n0.
2:     x[dim] const IntegerInput
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], for i=1,2,,n.
Intermediate elements of x are not referenced. If n=0, x is not referenced and may be NULL.
3:     incx IntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of x.
Constraint: incx0.
4:     k Integer *Output
On exit: k, the index, from the set 0,incx,,n-1×incx , of the largest component of x with respect to absolute value. If n=0 on input then k is returned as -1.
5:     i Integer *Output
On exit: i, the largest component of x with respect to absolute value. If n=0 on input then i is returned as 0.
6:     fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.2.1.2 in the Essential Introduction for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
NE_INT
On entry, incx=value.
Constraint: incx0.
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An unexpected error has been triggered by this function. Please contact NAG.
See Section 3.6.6 in the Essential Introduction for further information.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 3.6.5 in the Essential Introduction for further information.

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
