5 Arguments

1: norm Character(1) Input
On entry: specifies the value to be returned in anorm.
norm='1' or 'O'
The 1-norm A1 of the matrix is computed, that is max1jni=1nAij.
norm='I'
The -norm A of the matrix is computed, that is max1in j=1n Aij.
norm='M'
The value max1i,jnAij (not a norm).
Constraint: norm='1', 'O', 'I' or 'M'.
2: anorm Real (Kind=nag_wp) Output
On exit: the computed quantity relating the matrix.
3: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
4: icolzp* Integer array Input
Note: the dimension of the array icolzp must be at least n+1.
On entry: icolzpi contains the index in A of the start of a new column. See Section 2.1.3 in the F11 Chapter Introduction.
5: irowix* Integer array Input
Note: the dimension of the array irowix must be at least icolzpn+1-1, the number of nonzeros of the sparse matrix A.
On entry: the row index array of sparse matrix A.
6: a* Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
Note: the dimension of the array a must be at least icolzpn+1-1, the number of nonzeros of the sparse matrix A.
On entry: the array of nonzero values in the sparse matrix A.
7: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 4 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is 0. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
On entry, norm=value.
Constraint: norm='1', 'O', 'I' or 'M'.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.

ifail=-399

Not applicable.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f11mlf makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
