Arguments

1:     $\mathbf{uplo}$ – 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:     $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

3:     $\mathbf{alpha}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input

On entry: the scalar $\alpha$.

4:     $\mathbf{x}\left(*\right)$ – Real (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.

5:     $\mathbf{incx}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

6:     $\mathbf{ap}\left(*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output

Note: the dimension of the array ap must be at least $\mathbf{n}\times \left(\mathbf{n}+1\right)/2$.

On entry: the $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix $A$, packed by columns.

More precisely,

• if $\mathbf{uplo}=\text{'U'}$, the upper triangle of $A$ must be stored with element $A_{ij}$ in $\mathbf{ap}\left(i+j\left(j-1\right)/2\right)$ for $i\le j$;
• if $\mathbf{uplo}=\text{'L'}$, the lower triangle of $A$ must be stored with element $A_{ij}$ in $\mathbf{ap}\left(i+\left(2n-j\right)\left(j-1\right)/2\right)$ for $i\ge j$.

On exit: the updated matrix $A$.
