SLANSP(3) LAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection SLANSP(3) NAME SLANSP SYNOPSIS REAL FUNCTION SLANSP (NORM, UPLO, N, AP, WORK) PURPOSE SLANSP returns the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm, or the infinity norm, or the element of largest absolute value of a real symmetric matrix A, supplied in packed form. Returns: SLANSP SLANSP = ( max(abs(A(i,j))), NORM = 'M' or 'm' ( ( norm1(A), NORM = '1', 'O' or 'o' ( ( normI(A), NORM = 'I' or 'i' ( ( normF(A), NORM = 'F', 'f', 'E' or 'e' where norm1 denotes the one norm of a matrix (maximum column sum), normI denotes the infinity norm of a matrix (maximum row sum) and normF denotes the Frobenius norm of a matrix (square root of sum of squares). Note that max(abs(A(i,j))) is not a consistent matrix norm. ARGUMENTS NORM (input) NORM is CHARACTER*1 Specifies the value to be returned in SLANSP as described above. UPLO (input) UPLO is CHARACTER*1 Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix A is supplied. = 'U': Upper triangular part of A is supplied = 'L': Lower triangular part of A is supplied N (input) N is INTEGER The order of the matrix A. N >= 0. When N = 0, SLANSP is set to zero. AP (input) AP is REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2) The upper or lower triangle of the symmetric matrix A, packed columnwise in a linear array. The j-th column of A is stored in the array AP as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n. WORK (output) WORK is REAL array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK)), where LWORK >= N when NORM = 'I' or '1' or 'O'; otherwise, WORK is not referenced. LAPACK routine 31 October 2017 SLANSP(3)
