Purpose

f06ypf (dsyrk) performs one of the symmetric rank-k update operations
CαAAT + βC   or   CαATA + βC ,  
where A is a real matrix, C is an n by n real symmetric matrix, and α and β are real scalars.

Arguments

1:     uplo – Character(1)Input
On entry: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of C is stored.
uplo='U'
The upper triangular part of C is stored.
uplo='L'
The lower triangular part of C is stored.
Constraint: uplo='U' or 'L'.
2:     trans – Character(1)Input
On entry: specifies the operation to be performed.
trans='N'
CαAAT+βC.
trans='T' or 'C'
CαATA+βC.
Constraint: trans='N', 'T' or 'C'.
3:     n – IntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix C; the number of rows of A if trans='N', or the number of columns of A if trans='T' or 'C'.
Constraint: n0.
4:     k – IntegerInput
On entry: k, the number of columns of A if trans='N', or the number of rows of A if trans='T' or 'C'.
Constraint: k0.
5:     alpha – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the scalar α.
6:     alda* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least max1,k if trans='N' and at least max1,n if trans='T' or 'C'.
On entry: the matrix A; A is n by k if trans='N', or k by n if trans='T' or 'C'.
7:     lda – IntegerInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f06ypf (dsyrk) is called.
Constraints:
  • if trans='N', lda max1,n ;
  • if trans='T' or 'C', lda max1,k .
8:     beta – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the scalar β.
9:     cldc* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array c must be at least max1,n.
On entry: the n by n symmetric matrix C.
  • If uplo='U', the upper triangular part of C must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
  • If uplo='L', the lower triangular part of C must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
On exit: the updated matrix C.
10:   ldc – IntegerInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array c as declared in the (sub)program from which f06ypf (dsyrk) is called.
Constraint: ldcmax1,n .
