Arguments

1:     $\mathbf{uplo}$ – Character(1)Input

On entry: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\text{'U'}$

The upper triangular part of $A$ is stored.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\text{'L'}$

The lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.

Constraint: $\mathbf{uplo}=\text{'U'}$ or $\text{'L'}$.

2:     $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the order of the matrix $A$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

3:     $\mathbf{alpha}$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp)Input

On entry: the scalar $\alpha$.

4:     $\mathbf{a}\left(\mathbf{lda},*\right)$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput

Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$.

On entry: the $n$ by $n$ Hermitian matrix $A$.

• If $\mathbf{uplo}=\text{'U'}$, the upper triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
• If $\mathbf{uplo}=\text{'L'}$, the lower triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.

5:     $\mathbf{lda}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f06scf (zhemv) is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lda}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$.

6:     $\mathbf{x}\left(*\right)$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput

Note: the dimension of the array x must be at least $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{n}-1\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incx}\right|\right)$.

On entry: the $n$-element vector $x$.

If $\mathbf{incx}>0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{x}\left(1+\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)\times \mathbf{incx}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{incx}<0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{x}\left(1-\left(\mathbf{n}-\mathit{i}\right)\times \mathbf{incx}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

Intermediate elements of x are not referenced.

7:     $\mathbf{incx}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of $x$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{incx}\ne 0$.

8:     $\mathbf{beta}$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp)Input

On entry: the scalar $\beta$.

9:     $\mathbf{y}\left(*\right)$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output

Note: the dimension of the array y must be at least $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{n}-1\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incy}\right|\right)$.

On entry: the $n$-element vector $y$, if $\mathbf{beta}=0$, y need not be set.

If $\mathbf{incy}>0$, $y_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{y}\left(1+\left(\mathit{i}–1\right)\times \mathbf{incy}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{incy}<0$, $y_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{y}\left(1–\left(\mathbf{n}–\mathit{i}\right)\times \mathbf{incy}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

On exit: the updated vector $y$ stored in the array elements used to supply the original vector $y$.

10:   $\mathbf{incy}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the increment in the subscripts of y between successive elements of $y$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{incy}\ne 0$.
