5  Arguments

1:     order – Nag_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 $\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$.

2:     norm – Nag_NormTypeInput

On entry: specifies the value to be returned.

$\mathbf{norm}=\mathrm{Nag\_OneNorm}$

The $1$-norm.

$\mathbf{norm}=\mathrm{Nag\_InfNorm}$

The $\infty$-norm.

$\mathbf{norm}=\mathrm{Nag\_FrobeniusNorm}$

The Frobenius (or Euclidean) norm.

$\mathbf{norm}=\mathrm{Nag\_MaxNorm}$

The value ${\displaystyle \underset{i,j}{\max }}\left|a_{ij}\right|$ (not a norm).

Constraint: $\mathbf{norm}=\mathrm{Nag\_OneNorm}$, $\mathrm{Nag\_InfNorm}$, $\mathrm{Nag\_FrobeniusNorm}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_MaxNorm}$.

3:     m – IntegerInput

On entry: $m$, the number of rows of the matrix $A$.

If $m=0$, then m is set to zero.

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

4:     n – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the number of columns of the matrix $A$.

If $n=0$, then n is set to zero.

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

5:     a[$\mathit{dim}$] – const doubleInput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least

• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{pda}\times \mathbf{n}\right)$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{m}\times \mathbf{pda}\right)$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

If $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$, $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{a}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pda}+i-1\right]$.

If $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$, $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{a}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pda}+j-1\right]$.

On entry: the $m$ by $n$ matrix $A$.

6:     pda – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$, $\mathbf{pda}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{m}\right)$;
• if $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$, $\mathbf{pda}\ge \mathbf{n}$.

7:     r – double *Output

On exit: the value of the norm specified by norm.

8:     fail – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).
