ZLARFB(3) LAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection ZLARFB(3) NAME ZLARFB SYNOPSIS SUBROUTINE ZLARFB (SIDE, TRANS, DIRECT, STOREV, M, N, K, V, LDV, T, LDT, C, LDC, WORK, LDWORK) PURPOSE ZLARFB applies a complex block reflector H or its transpose H**H to a complex M-by-N matrix C, from either the left or the right. ARGUMENTS SIDE (input) SIDE is CHARACTER*1 = 'L': apply H or H**H from the Left = 'R': apply H or H**H from the Right TRANS (input) TRANS is CHARACTER*1 = 'N': apply H (No transpose) = 'C': apply H**H (Conjugate transpose) DIRECT (input) DIRECT is CHARACTER*1 Indicates how H is formed from a product of elementary reflectors = 'F': H = H(1) H(2) . . . H(k) (Forward) = 'B': H = H(k) . . . H(2) H(1) (Backward) STOREV (input) STOREV is CHARACTER*1 Indicates how the vectors which define the elementary reflectors are stored: = 'C': Columnwise = 'R': Rowwise M (input) M is INTEGER The number of rows of the matrix C. N (input) N is INTEGER The number of columns of the matrix C. K (input) K is INTEGER The order of the matrix T (= the number of elementary reflectors whose product defines the block reflector). V (input) V is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDV,K) if STOREV = 'C' (LDV,M) if STOREV = 'R' and SIDE = 'L' (LDV,N) if STOREV = 'R' and SIDE = 'R' See Further Details. LDV (input) LDV is INTEGER The leading dimension of the array V. If STOREV = 'C' and SIDE = 'L', LDV >= max(1,M); if STOREV = 'C' and SIDE = 'R', LDV >= max(1,N); if STOREV = 'R', LDV >= K. T (input) T is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDT,K) The triangular K-by-K matrix T in the representation of the block reflector. LDT (input) LDT is INTEGER The leading dimension of the array T. LDT >= K. C (input/output) C is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDC,N) On entry, the M-by-N matrix C. On exit, C is overwritten by H*C or H**H*C or C*H or C*H**H. LDC (input) LDC is INTEGER The leading dimension of the array C. LDC >= max(1,M). WORK (output) WORK is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDWORK,K) LDWORK (input) LDWORK is INTEGER The leading dimension of the array WORK. If SIDE = 'L', LDWORK >= max(1,N); if SIDE = 'R', LDWORK >= max(1,M). FURTHER DETAILS The shape of the matrix V and the storage of the vectors which define the H(i) is best illustrated by the following example with n = 5 and k = 3. The elements equal to 1 are not stored; the corresponding array elements are modified but restored on exit. The rest of the array is not used. DIRECT = 'F' and STOREV = 'C': DIRECT = 'F' and STOREV = 'R': V = ( 1 ) V = ( 1 v1 v1 v1 v1 ) ( v1 1 ) ( 1 v2 v2 v2 ) ( v1 v2 1 ) ( 1 v3 v3 ) ( v1 v2 v3 ) ( v1 v2 v3 ) DIRECT = 'B' and STOREV = 'C': DIRECT = 'B' and STOREV = 'R': V = ( v1 v2 v3 ) V = ( v1 v1 1 ) ( v1 v2 v3 ) ( v2 v2 v2 1 ) ( 1 v2 v3 ) ( v3 v3 v3 v3 1 ) ( 1 v3 ) ( 1 ) LAPACK routine 31 October 2017 ZLARFB(3)
