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:     uplo Nag_UploTypeInput
On entry: specifies whether A is upper or lower triangular.
uplo=Nag_Upper
A is upper triangular.
uplo=Nag_Lower
A is lower triangular.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
3:     trans Nag_TransTypeInput
On entry: specifies the operation to be performed.
trans=Nag_NoTrans
xαAx.
trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans
xαATx.
Constraint: trans=Nag_NoTrans, Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans.
4:     diag Nag_DiagTypeInput
On entry: specifies whether A has nonunit or unit diagonal elements.
diag=Nag_NonUnitDiag
The diagonal elements are stored explicitly.
diag=Nag_UnitDiag
The diagonal elements are assumed to be 1 and are not referenced.
Constraint: diag=Nag_NonUnitDiag or Nag_UnitDiag.
5:     n IntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
6:     k IntegerInput
On entry: k, the number of subdiagonals or superdiagonals of the matrix A.
Constraint: k0.
7:     alpha doubleInput
On entry: the scalar α.
8:     ab[dim] const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ab must be at least max1,pdab×n.
On entry: the n by n triangular band matrix A.
This is stored as a notional two-dimensional array with row elements or column elements stored contiguously. The storage of elements of Aij, depends on the order and uplo arguments as follows:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor and uplo=Nag_Upper,
              Aij is stored in ab[k+i-j+j-1×pdab], for j=1,,n and i=max1,j-k,,j;
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor and uplo=Nag_Lower,
              Aij is stored in ab[i-j+j-1×pdab], for j=1,,n and i=j,,minn,j+k;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor and uplo=Nag_Upper,
              Aij is stored in ab[j-i+i-1×pdab], for i=1,,n and j=i,,minn,i+k;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor and uplo=Nag_Lower,
              Aij is stored in ab[k+j-i+i-1×pdab], for i=1,,n and j=max1,i-k,,i.
If diag=Nag_UnitDiag, the diagonal elements of AB are assumed to be 1, and are not referenced.
9:     pdab IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix A in the array ab.
Constraint: pdabk+1.
10:   x[dim] doubleInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least max1,1+n-1incx.
On entry: the right-hand side vector b.
On exit: the solution vector x.
11:   incx IntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of x.
Constraint: incx0.
12:   fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).
