Arguments

1:     $\mathbf{norm}$ – 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 (= the $1$-norm for a Hermitian matrix).

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

The Frobenius (or Euclidean) norm.

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

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

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

2:     $\mathbf{uplo}$ – 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 $\text{'L'}$.

3:     $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

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

When $\mathbf{n}=0$, f06uef returns zero.

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

4:     $\mathbf{k}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

5:     $\mathbf{ab}\left(\mathbf{ldab},*\right)$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput

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

On entry: the $n$ by $n$ Hermitian 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 $\mathbf{ab}\left(1+i-j,j\right)\text{ for }j\le i\le \min \left(n,j+k\right)\text{.}$

6:     $\mathbf{ldab}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the first dimension of the array ab as declared in the (sub)program from which f06uef is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{ldab}\ge \mathbf{k}+1$.

7:     $\mathbf{work}\left(*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace

Note: the dimension of the array work must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$ if $\mathbf{norm}=\text{'1'}$, $\text{'O'}$ or $\text{'I'}$, and at least $1$ otherwise.
