5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{ar}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

2: $\mathbf{ai}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

On entry: ar and ai must contain the real and imaginary parts respectively of $a$, the coefficient of $z^2$.

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

4: $\mathbf{bi}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

On entry: br and bi must contain the real and imaginary parts respectively of $b$, the coefficient of $z$.

5: $\mathbf{cr}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

6: $\mathbf{ci}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

On entry: cr and ci must contain the real and imaginary parts respectively of $c$, the constant coefficient.

7: $\mathbf{zsm}\left(2\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit: the real and imaginary parts of the smallest root in magnitude are stored in $\mathbf{zsm}\left(1\right)$ and $\mathbf{zsm}\left(2\right)$ respectively.

8: $\mathbf{zlg}\left(2\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit: the real and imaginary parts of the largest root in magnitude are stored in $\mathbf{zlg}\left(1\right)$ and $\mathbf{zlg}\left(2\right)$ respectively.

9: $\mathbf{ifail}$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $-1\text{ or }1$. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 4 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for details.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{ or }1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is $0$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{ or }\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $\mathbf{ifail}=\mathbf{0}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$\mathbf{ifail}=1$

On entry, $\left(\mathbf{ar},\mathbf{ai}\right)=\left(0,0\right)$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=2$

On entry, $\left(\mathbf{ar},\mathbf{ai}\right)=\left(0,0\right)$ and $\left(\mathbf{br},\mathbf{bi}\right)=\left(0,0\right)$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=3$

On entry, $\left(\mathbf{ar},\mathbf{ai}\right)=\left(0,0\right)$ and the root $-\left(\mathbf{cr},\mathbf{ci}\right)/\left(\mathbf{br},\mathbf{bi}\right)$ overflows: $\mathbf{ar}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{cr}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{br}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{ai}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{ci}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and $\mathbf{bi}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=4$

On entry, $\left(\mathbf{cr},\mathbf{ci}\right)=\left(0,0\right)$ and the root $-\left(\mathbf{br},\mathbf{bi}\right)/\left(\mathbf{ar},\mathbf{ai}\right)$ overflows: $\mathbf{cr}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{br}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{ar}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{ci}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{bi}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and $\mathbf{ai}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=5$

On entry, $B$ is so large that $B^2$ is indistinguishable from $\left(B^2-4\times A\times C\right)$ and the root $-\left(\mathbf{br},\mathbf{bi}\right)/\left(\mathbf{ar},\mathbf{ai}\right)$ overflows: $B=\max \left(\left|\mathbf{br}\right|,\left|\mathbf{bi}\right|\right)=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $A=\max \left(\left|\mathbf{ar}\right|,\left|\mathbf{ai}\right|\right)=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $C=\max \left(\left|\mathbf{cr}\right|,\left|\mathbf{ci}\right|\right)=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{br}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{bi}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{ar}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and $\mathbf{ai}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
