5  Parameters

1:     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:     N – INTEGERInput

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

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

3:     ALPHA – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)Input

On entry: the scalar $\alpha$.

4:     A(LDA,$*$) – 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:     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:     X($*$) – 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:     INCX – INTEGERInput

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

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

8:     BETA – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)Input

On entry: the scalar $\beta$.

9:     Y($*$) – 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:   INCY – INTEGERInput

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

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