# NAG Library Routine Document

## 1Purpose

f06ugf returns, via the function name, the value of the $1$-norm, the $\infty$-norm, the Frobenius norm, or the maximum absolute value of the elements of a complex $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix, stored in packed form.

## 5Arguments

1:     $\mathbf{norm}$ – Character(1)Input
On entry: specifies the value to be returned.
${\mathbf{norm}}=\text{'1'}$ or $\text{'O'}$
The $1$-norm.
${\mathbf{norm}}=\text{'I'}$
The $\infty$-norm (= the $1$-norm for a symmetric matrix).
${\mathbf{norm}}=\text{'F'}$ or $\text{'E'}$
The Frobenius (or Euclidean) norm.
${\mathbf{norm}}=\text{'M'}$
The value ${\mathrm{max}}_{i,j}\left|{a}_{ij}\right|$ (not a norm).
Constraint: ${\mathbf{norm}}=\text{'1'}$, $\text{'O'}$, $\text{'I'}$, $\text{'F'}$, $\text{'E'}$ or $\text{'M'}$.
2:     $\mathbf{uplo}$ – Character(1)Input
On entry: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.
${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$
The upper triangular part of $A$ is stored.
${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'L'}$
The lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$ or $\text{'L'}$.
3:     $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput
On entry: $n$, the order of the matrix $A$.
When ${\mathbf{n}}=0$, f06ugf returns zero.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{n}}\ge 0$.
4:     $\mathbf{ap}\left(*\right)$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the dimension of the array ap must be at least ${\mathbf{n}}×\left({\mathbf{n}}+1\right)/2$.
On entry: the $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix $A$, packed by columns.
More precisely,
• if ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$, the upper triangle of $A$ must be stored with element ${A}_{ij}$ in ${\mathbf{ap}}\left(i+j\left(j-1\right)/2\right)$ for $i\le j$;
• if ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'L'}$, the lower triangle of $A$ must be stored with element ${A}_{ij}$ in ${\mathbf{ap}}\left(i+\left(2n-j\right)\left(j-1\right)/2\right)$ for $i\ge j$.
5:     $\mathbf{work}\left(*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
Note: the dimension of the array work must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$ if ${\mathbf{norm}}=\text{'1'}$, $\text{'O'}$ or $\text{'I'}$, and at least $1$ otherwise.

None.

Not applicable.

## 8Parallelism and Performance

f06ugf is not threaded in any implementation.
