Notes

No equivalent traditional C interface for this routine exists in the NAG Library.

Given an -element real vector , and real scalars and , dssq returns updated values and such that

dssq is designed for use in the safe computation of the Euclidean norm of a real vector, without unnecessary overflow or destructive underflow. An initial call to dssq (with and ) may be followed by further calls to dssq and finally a call to dnorm() to complete the computation. Multiple calls of dssq may be needed if the elements of the vector cannot all be accessed in a single array .
