1
Purpose

f16ubf calculates the value of the 1-norm, the -norm, the Frobenius norm or the maximum absolute value of the elements of a complex m by n band matrix stored in banded packed form.
It can also be used to compute the value of the 2-norm of a row n-vector or a column m-vector.

Integer, Intent (In):: inorm, m, n, kl, ku, ldab
Complex (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In):: ab(ldab,*)
C Header Interface

Description

Given a complex m by n band matrix, A, f16ubf calculates one of the values given by
A1=maxji=1maij (the 1-norm of A),
A=maxij= 1naij (the -norm of A),
AF=i=1mj=1n aij21/2 (the Frobenius norm of A),  or
maxi,jaij (the maximum absolute element value of A).
If m or n is 1 then additionally f16ubf can calculate the value A2=ai2 (the 2-norm of A).

Arguments

1:     inorm – IntegerInput
On entry: specifies the value to be returned. The integer codes shown below can be replaced by the equivalent named constants of the form NAG_?_NORM. These named constants are available via the nag_library module and are also used in the example program for clarity.
inorm=171 (NAG_ONE_NORM)
The 1-norm.
inorm=173 (NAG_TWO_NORM)
The 2-norm of a row or column vector.
inorm=174 (NAG_FROBENIUS_NORM)
The Frobenius (or Euclidean) norm.
inorm=175 (NAG_INF_NORM)
The -norm.
inorm=177 (NAG_MAX_NORM)
The value maxi,jaij (not a norm).
Constraints:
  • inorm=171, 173, 174, 175 or 177;
  • if inorm=173, m=1 or n=1.
2:     m – IntegerInput
On entry: m, the number of rows of the matrix A. If m0 on input, f16ubf returns 0.
3:     n – IntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of columns of the matrix A. If n0 on input, f16ubf returns 0.
4:     kl – IntegerInput
On entry: kl, the number of subdiagonals within the band of A. If kl0 on input, f16ubf returns 0.
5:     ku – IntegerInput
On entry: ku, the number of superdiagonals within the band of A. If ku0 on input, f16ubf returns 0.
6:     abldab* – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the second dimension of the array ab must be at least max1,n.
On entry: the m by n band matrix A.
The matrix is stored in rows 1 to kl+ku+1, more precisely, the element Aij must be stored in
abku+1+i-jj  for ​max1,j-kuiminm,j+kl. 
7:     ldab – IntegerInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array ab as declared in the (sub)program from which f16ubf is called.
Constraint: ldabkl+ku+1.

Error Indicators and Warnings

If any constraint on an input parameter is violated, an error message is printed and program execution is terminated.

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

f16ubf is not threaded in any implementation.

9
Further Comments

None.

Example

Reads in a 6 by 4 banded complex matrix A with two subdiagonals and one superdiagonal, and prints the four norms of A.
