Arguments

1:    $\mathbf{order}$ – 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 3.3.1.3 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint: $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$.

2:    $\mathbf{uplo}$ – Nag_UploTypeInput

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

$\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$

The upper triangular part of $A$ is stored.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$

The lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.

Constraint: $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$.

3:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

4:    $\mathbf{alpha}$ – doubleInput

On entry: the scalar $\alpha$.

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

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

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

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 $\mathbf{a}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pda}+j-1\right]$.

If $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Upper}$, the upper triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.

If $\mathbf{uplo}=\mathrm{Nag\_Lower}$, the lower triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.

6:    $\mathbf{pda}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

7:    $\mathbf{x}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – const doubleInput

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

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

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

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

Intermediate elements of x are not referenced. If $\mathbf{n}=0$, x is not referenced and may be NULL.

8:    $\mathbf{incx}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

9:    $\mathbf{beta}$ – doubleInput

On entry: the scalar $\beta$.

10:  $\mathbf{y}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – doubleInput/Output

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

On entry: the vector $y$. See x for details of storage.

If $\mathbf{beta}=0$, y need not be set.

On exit: the updated vector $y$.

11:  $\mathbf{incy}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

12:  $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).
