SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE SSYMV

( UPLO, N, ALPHA, A, LDA, X, INCX, BETA, Y, INCY )

    

REAL ALPHA, BETA

    

INTEGER INCX, INCY, LDA, N

    

CHARACTER*1 UPLO

    

REAL A( LDA, * ), X( * ), Y( * )

PURPOSE

SSYMV performs the matrix-vector operation

where alpha and beta are scalars, x and y are n element vectors and A is an n by n symmetric matrix.

PARAMETERS

UPLO - CHARACTER*1.

On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the array A is to be referenced as follows:

UPLO = 'U' or 'u' Only the upper triangular part of A is to be referenced.

UPLO = 'L' or 'l' Only the lower triangular part of A is to be referenced.

Unchanged on exit.

N - INTEGER.

On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A. N must be at least zero. Unchanged on exit.

ALPHA - REAL .

On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha. Unchanged on exit.

A - REAL array of DIMENSION ( LDA, n ).

Before entry with UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading n by n upper triangular part of the array A must contain the upper triangular part of the symmetric matrix and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not referenced. Before entry with UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the leading n by n lower triangular part of the array A must contain the lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced. Unchanged on exit.

LDA - INTEGER.

On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared in the calling (sub) program. LDA must be at least max( 1, n ). Unchanged on exit.

X - REAL array of dimension at least

( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ). Before entry, the incremented array X must contain the n element vector x. Unchanged on exit.

INCX - INTEGER.

On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the elements of X. INCX must not be zero. Unchanged on exit.

BETA - REAL .

On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta. When BETA is supplied as zero then Y need not be set on input. Unchanged on exit.

Y - REAL array of dimension at least

( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCY ) ). Before entry, the incremented array Y must contain the n element vector y. On exit, Y is overwritten by the updated vector y.

INCY - INTEGER.

On entry, INCY specifies the increment for the elements of Y. INCY must not be zero. Unchanged on exit.
