1  Purpose

nag_dspmv (f16pec) performs matrix-vector multiplication for a real symmetric matrix stored in packed form.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf16.h>
void  nag_dspmv (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, double alpha, const double ap[], const double x[], Integer incx, double beta, double y[], Integer incy, NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_dspmv (f16pec) performs the matrix-vector operation
yαAx + βy ,  
where A is an n by n real symmetric matrix stored in packed form, x and y are n-element real vectors, and α and β are real scalars.

5  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 2.3.1.3 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 the upper or lower triangular part of A is stored.
uplo=Nag_Upper
The upper triangular part of A is stored.
uplo=Nag_Lower
The lower triangular part of A is stored.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
3:     n IntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
4:     alpha doubleInput
On entry: the scalar α.
5:     ap[dim] const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ap must be at least max1, n × n+1 / 2 .
On entry: the n by n symmetric matrix A, packed by rows or columns.
The storage of elements Aij depends on the order and uplo arguments as follows:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor and uplo=Nag_Upper,
              Aij is stored in ap[j-1×j/2+i-1], for ij;
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor and uplo=Nag_Lower,
              Aij is stored in ap[2n-j×j-1/2+i-1], for ij;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor and uplo=Nag_Upper,
              Aij is stored in ap[2n-i×i-1/2+j-1], for ij;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor and uplo=Nag_Lower,
              Aij is stored in ap[i-1×i/2+j-1], for ij.
6:     x[dim] const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least max1,1+n-1incx.
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.
7:     incx IntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of x.
Constraint: incx0.
8:     beta doubleInput
On entry: the scalar β.
9:     y[dim] doubleInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array y must be at least max1,1+n-1incy.
On entry: the vector y. See x for details of storage.
If beta=0, y need not be set.
On exit: the updated vector y.
10:   incy IntegerInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of y between successive elements of y.
Constraint: incy0.
11:   fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 2.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

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

nag_dspmv (f16pec) is not threaded in any implementation.

9  Further Comments

None.
