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:    $\mathbf{trans}$ – Nag_TransTypeInput

On entry: specifies the operation to be performed.

$\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_NoTrans}$

$y\leftarrow \alpha Ax+\beta y$.

$\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_Trans}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ConjTrans}$

$y\leftarrow \alpha A^{\mathrm{T}}x+\beta y$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_NoTrans}$, $\mathrm{Nag\_Trans}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ConjTrans}$.

3:    $\mathbf{m}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

4:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

5:    $\mathbf{alpha}$ – doubleInput

On entry: the scalar $\alpha$.

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

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

• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{pda}\times \mathbf{n}\right)$ 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 $A$.

7:    $\mathbf{pda}$ – 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 $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$, $\mathbf{pda}\ge \mathbf{n}$.

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

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

• $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{n}-1\right)\left|\mathbf{incx}\right|\right)$ when $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_NoTrans}$;
• $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{m}-1\right)\left|\mathbf{incx}\right|\right)$ when $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_Trans}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ConjTrans}$.

On entry: the vector $x$.

If $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_NoTrans}$, then $x$ is an $n$-element vector.

• 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.

Otherwise, $x$ is an $m$-element vector.

• If $\mathbf{incx}>0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{x}\left[\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)\times \mathbf{incx}\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{m}$.
• If $\mathbf{incx}<0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{x}\left[\left(\mathbf{m}-\mathit{i}\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incx}\right|\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{m}$.
• Intermediate elements of x are not referenced. If $\mathbf{m}=0$, x is not referenced and may be NULL.

9:    $\mathbf{incx}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

10:  $\mathbf{beta}$ – doubleInput

On entry: the scalar $\beta$.

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

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

• $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{m}-1\right)\left|\mathbf{incy}\right|\right)$ when $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_NoTrans}$;
• $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{n}-1\right)\left|\mathbf{incy}\right|\right)$ when $\mathbf{trans}=\mathrm{Nag\_Trans}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ConjTrans}$.

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 $y$.

12:  $\mathbf{incy}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

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

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