1 Purpose

f06erf computes the scalar product of a sparse real vector, stored in compressed form, with a real vector.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Function f06erf ( nz, x, indx, y)
Real (Kind=nag_wp) :: f06erf
Integer, Intent (In) :: nz, indx(*)
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: x(*), y(*)
C Header Interface
#include <nag.h>
double  f06erf_ (const Integer *nz, const double x[], const Integer indx[], const double y[])
The routine may be called by the names f06erf, nagf_blas_ddoti or its BLAS name ddoti.

3 Description

f06erf returns, via the function name, the value of the scalar product
xTy = x(1) × y(indx(1)) + x(2) × y(indy(2)) + + x(nz) × y(indx(nz))  
where x is a sparse real vector, stored in compressed form and y is a real vector in full storage format.

5 Arguments

1: nz Integer Input
On entry: the number of nonzeros in the sparse vector x.
2: x(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
Note: the dimension of the array x must be at least max(1,nz) .
On entry: the nonzero elements of the sparse vector x.
3: indx(*) Integer array Input
Note: the dimension of the array indx must be at least max(1,nz) .
On entry: indx(i) must contain the index of x(i) in the sparse vector x, for i=1,2,,nz.
4: y(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
Note: the dimension of the array y must be at least maxk{indx(k)} .
On entry: the vector y. Only elements corresponding to indices in indx are accessed.
