SYNOPSIS

DOUBLE PRECISION

FUNCTION ZLANHF( NORM, TRANSR, UPLO, N, A, WORK )

    

CHARACTER NORM, TRANSR, UPLO

    

INTEGER N

    

DOUBLE PRECISION WORK( 0: * )

    

COMPLEX*16 A( 0: * )

PURPOSE

ZLANHF returns the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm, or the infinity norm, or the element of largest absolute value of a complex Hermitian matrix A in RFP format.

DESCRIPTION

ZLANHF returns the value

   ZLANHF = ( max(abs(A(i,j))), NORM = 'M' or 'm'

            (

            ( norm1(A),         NORM = '1', 'O' or 'o'

            (

            ( normI(A),         NORM = 'I' or 'i'

            (

            ( normF(A),         NORM = 'F', 'f', 'E' or 'e' where norm1 denotes the one norm of a matrix (maximum column sum), normI denotes the infinity norm of a matrix (maximum row sum) and normF denotes the Frobenius norm of a matrix (square root of sum of squares). Note that max(abs(A(i,j))) is not a matrix norm.

ARGUMENTS

NORM (input) CHARACTER

Specifies the value to be returned in ZLANHF as described above.

TRANSR (input) CHARACTER

Specifies whether the RFP format of A is normal or conjugate-transposed format. = 'N': RFP format is Normal
= 'C': RFP format is Conjugate-transposed

UPLO (input) CHARACTER

On entry, UPLO specifies whether the RFP matrix A came from an upper or lower triangular matrix as follows: UPLO = 'U' or 'u' RFP A came from an upper triangular matrix UPLO = 'L' or 'l' RFP A came from a lower triangular matrix

N (input) INTEGER

The order of the matrix A. N >= 0. When N = 0, ZLANHF is set to zero.

A (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension ( N*(N+1)/2 );

On entry, the matrix A in RFP Format. RFP Format is described by TRANSR, UPLO and N as follows:
If TRANSR='N' then RFP A is (0:N,0:K-1) when N is even;
K=N/2. RFP A is (0:N-1,0:K) when N is odd; K=N/2. If TRANSR = 'C' then RFP is the Conjugate-transpose of RFP A as defined when TRANSR = 'N'. The contents of RFP A are defined by UPLO as follows: If UPLO = 'U' the RFP A contains the ( N*(N+1)/2 ) elements of upper packed A either in normal or conjugate-transpose Format. If UPLO = 'L' the RFP A contains the ( N*(N+1) /2 ) elements of lower packed A either in normal or conjugate-transpose Format. The LDA of RFP A is (N+1)/2 when TRANSR = 'C'. When TRANSR is 'N' the LDA is N+1 when N is even and is N when is odd. See the Note below for more details. Unchanged on exit.

WORK (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LWORK),

where LWORK >= N when NORM = 'I' or '1' or 'O'; otherwise, WORK is not referenced.

FURTHER DETAILS

We first consider Standard Packed Format when N is even.
We give an example where N = 6.

Let TRANSR = 'N'. RFP holds AP as follows:
For UPLO = 'U' the upper trapezoid A(0:5,0:2) consists of the last three columns of AP upper. The lower triangle A(4:6,0:2) consists of conjugate-transpose of the first three columns of AP upper. For UPLO = 'L' the lower trapezoid A(1:6,0:2) consists of the first three columns of AP lower. The upper triangle A(0:2,0:2) consists of conjugate-transpose of the last three columns of AP lower. To denote conjugate we place -- above the element. This covers the case N even and TRANSR = 'N'.

Now let TRANSR = 'C'. RFP A in both UPLO cases is just the conjugate- transpose of RFP A above. One therefore gets:

We next consider Standard Packed Format when N is odd.
We give an example where N = 5.

Let TRANSR = 'N'. RFP holds AP as follows:
For UPLO = 'U' the upper trapezoid A(0:4,0:2) consists of the last three columns of AP upper. The lower triangle A(3:4,0:1) consists of conjugate-transpose of the first two columns of AP upper. For UPLO = 'L' the lower trapezoid A(0:4,0:2) consists of the first three columns of AP lower. The upper triangle A(0:1,1:2) consists of conjugate-transpose of the last two columns of AP lower. To denote conjugate we place -- above the element. This covers the case N odd and TRANSR = 'N'.
