5 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.

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

The Frobenius (or Euclidean) norm.

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

The value ${\displaystyle \underset{i,j}{\max }}\left|a_{ij}\right|$ (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 $A$ is upper or lower triangular.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\text{'U'}$

$A$ is upper triangular.

$\mathbf{uplo}=\text{'L'}$

$A$ is lower triangular.

Constraint: $\mathbf{uplo}=\text{'U'}$ or $\text{'L'}$.

3: $\mathbf{diag}$ – Character(1) Input

On entry: specifies whether $A$ has nonunit or unit diagonal elements.

$\mathbf{diag}=\text{'N'}$

The diagonal elements are stored explicitly.

$\mathbf{diag}=\text{'U'}$

The diagonal elements are assumed to be $1$, and are not referenced.

Constraint: $\mathbf{diag}=\text{'N'}$ or $\text{'U'}$.

4: $\mathbf{n}$ – Integer Input

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

When $\mathbf{n}=0$, f06ukf returns zero.

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

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

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 $n$ triangular 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 $i\ge j$.

If $\mathbf{diag}=\text{'U'}$, the diagonal elements of $A$ are assumed to be $1$, and are not referenced; the same storage scheme is used whether $\mathbf{diag}=\text{'N'}$ or ‘U’.

6: $\mathbf{work}\left(*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace

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