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: $\mathbf{n}$ – Integer Input

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: $\mathbf{ap}\left(*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input

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

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

5: $\mathbf{x}\left(*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input

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

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

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

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

Intermediate elements of x are not referenced.

6: $\mathbf{incx}$ – Integer Input

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

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

7: $\mathbf{beta}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

On entry: the scalar $\beta$.

8: $\mathbf{y}\left(*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

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

On entry: the $n$-element vector $y$, if $\mathbf{beta}=0.0$ y need not be set.

If $\mathbf{incy}>0$, $y_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{y}\left(1+(\mathit{i}–1)\times \mathbf{incy}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{incy}<0$, $y_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{y}\left(1–(\mathbf{n}–\mathit{i})\times \mathbf{incy}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

On exit: the updated vector $y$ stored in the array elements used to supply the original vector $y$.

9: $\mathbf{incy}$ – Integer Input

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

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