NAG Library Function Documentnag_zgemv (f16sac)

1  Purpose

nag_zgemv (f16sac) performs matrix-vector multiplication for a complex general matrix.

2  Specification

 #include #include
 void nag_zgemv (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_TransType trans, Integer m, Integer n, Complex alpha, const Complex a[], Integer pda, const Complex x[], Integer incx, Complex beta, Complex y[], Integer incy, NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_zgemv (f16sac) performs one of the matrix-vector operations
 $y←αAx+βy, y←αATx+βy or y←αAHx+βy$
where $A$ is an $m$ by $n$ complex matrix, $x$ and $y$ are complex vectors, and $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are complex scalars.
If $m=0$ or $n=0$, no operation is performed.

5  Arguments

1:     orderNag_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 ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$. See Section 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$ or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     transNag_TransTypeInput
On entry: specifies the operation to be performed.
${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_NoTrans}$
$y←\alpha Ax+\beta y$.
${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_Trans}$
$y←\alpha {A}^{\mathrm{T}}x+\beta y$.
${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_ConjTrans}$
$y←\alpha {A}^{\mathrm{H}}x+\beta y$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_NoTrans}$, $\mathrm{Nag_Trans}$ or $\mathrm{Nag_ConjTrans}$.
3:     mIntegerInput
On entry: $m$, the number of rows of the matrix $A$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{m}}\ge 0$.
4:     nIntegerInput
On entry: $n$, the number of columns of the matrix $A$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{n}}\ge 0$.
5:     alphaComplexInput
On entry: the scalar $\alpha$.
6:     a[$\mathit{dim}$]const ComplexInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least
• $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{pda}}×{\mathbf{n}}\right)$ when ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_ColMajor}$;
• $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{m}}×{\mathbf{pda}}\right)$ when ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$.
If ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_ColMajor}$, ${A}_{ij}$ is stored in ${\mathbf{a}}\left[\left(j-1\right)×{\mathbf{pda}}+i-1\right]$.
If ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$, ${A}_{ij}$ is stored in ${\mathbf{a}}\left[\left(i-1\right)×{\mathbf{pda}}+j-1\right]$.
On entry: the $m$ by $n$ matrix $A$.
7:     pdaIntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.
Constraints:
• if ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_ColMajor}$, ${\mathbf{pda}}\ge \mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{m}}\right)$;
• if ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$, ${\mathbf{pda}}\ge {\mathbf{n}}$.
8:     x[$\mathit{dim}$]const ComplexInput

7  Accuracy

The BLAS standard requires accurate implementations which avoid unnecessary over/underflow (see Section 2.7 of The BLAS Technical Forum Standard (2001)).

None.
