5  Parameters

1:     $\mathrm{NORM}$ – CHARACTER(1)Input

On entry: specifies the value to be returned.

$\mathbf{NORM}=\text{'1'}$ or $\text{'O'}$

The $1$-norm.

$\mathbf{NORM}=\text{'I'}$

The $\infty$-norm.

$\mathbf{NORM}=\text{'F'}$ or $\text{'E'}$

The Frobenius (or Euclidean) norm.

$\mathbf{NORM}=\text{'M'}$

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

Constraint: $\mathbf{NORM}=\text{'1'}$, $\text{'O'}$, $\text{'I'}$, $\text{'F'}$, $\text{'E'}$ or $\text{'M'}$.

2:     $\mathrm{UPLO}$ – CHARACTER(1)Input

On entry: specifies whether $A$ is upper or lower triangular.

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

$A$ is upper triangular.

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

$A$ is lower triangular.

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

3:     $\mathrm{DIAG}$ – CHARACTER(1)Input

On entry: specifies whether $A$ has nonunit or unit diagonal elements.

$\mathbf{DIAG}=\text{'N'}$

The diagonal elements are stored explicitly.

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

The diagonal elements are assumed to be $1$, and are not referenced.

Constraint: $\mathbf{DIAG}=\text{'N'}$ or $\text{'U'}$.

4:     $\mathrm{N}$ – INTEGERInput

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

When $\mathbf{N}=0$, F06RLF returns zero.

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

5:     $\mathrm{K}$ – INTEGERInput

On entry: $k$, the number of subdiagonals or superdiagonals of the matrix $A$.

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

6:     $\mathrm{AB}\left(\mathbf{LDAB},*\right)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput

Note: the second dimension of the array AB must be at least $\mathbf{N}$.

On entry: the $n$ by $n$ triangular band matrix $A$ 

The matrix is stored in rows $1$ to $k+1$, more precisely,

• if $\mathbf{UPLO}=\text{'U'}$, the elements of the upper triangle of $A$ within the band must be stored with element $A_{ij}$ in $\mathbf{AB}\left(k+1+i-j,j\right)\text{ for }\max \left(1,j-k\right)\le i\le j$;
• if $\mathbf{UPLO}=\text{'L'}$, the elements of the lower triangle of $A$ within the band must be stored with element $A_{ij}$ in $\mathbf{AB}\left(1+i-j,j\right)\text{ for }j\le i\le \min \left(n,j+k\right)\text{.}$

If $\mathbf{DIAG}=\text{'U'}$, the diagonal elements of $A$ are assumed to be $1$, and are not referenced.

7:     $\mathrm{LDAB}$ – INTEGERInput

On entry: the first dimension of the array AB as declared in the (sub)program from which F06RLF is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{LDAB}\ge \mathbf{K}+1$.

8:     $\mathrm{WORK}\left(*\right)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace

Note: the dimension of the array WORK must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{N}\right)$ if $\mathbf{NORM}=\text{'I'}$, and at least $1$ otherwise.
