1  Purpose

nag_dgb_norm (f16rbc) calculates the value of the 1-norm, the -norm, the Frobenius norm or the maximum absolute value of the elements of a real m by n band matrix stored in banded form.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf16.h>
void  nag_dgb_norm (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_NormType norm, Integer m, Integer n, Integer kl, Integer ku, const double ab[], Integer pdab, double *r, NagError *fail)

3  Description

Given a real m by n banded matrix, A, nag_dgb_norm (f16rbc) calculates one of the values given by
A1=maxji=1maij (the 1-norm of A),
A=maxij= 1naij (the -norm of A),
AF=i=1mj=1naij21/2 (the Frobenius norm of A),   or
maxi,jaij (the maximum absolute element value of A).

5  Arguments

1:     order Nag_OrderTypeInput
On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by order=Nag_RowMajor. See Section 2.3.1.3 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     norm Nag_NormTypeInput
On entry: specifies the value to be returned.
norm=Nag_OneNorm
The 1-norm.
norm=Nag_FrobeniusNorm
The Frobenius (or Euclidean) norm.
norm=Nag_InfNorm
The -norm.
norm=Nag_MaxNorm
The value maxi,jaij (not a norm).
Constraint: norm=Nag_OneNorm, Nag_FrobeniusNorm, Nag_InfNorm or Nag_MaxNorm.
3:     m IntegerInput
On entry: m, the number of rows of the matrix A.
Constraint: m0.
4:     n IntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of columns of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
5:     kl IntegerInput
On entry: kl, the number of subdiagonals within the band of A.
Constraint: kl0.
6:     ku IntegerInput
On entry: ku, the number of superdiagonals within the band of A.
Constraint: ku0.
7:     ab[dim] const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ab must be at least
  • max1,pdab×n when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max1,m×pdab when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On entry: the m by n band matrix A.
This is stored as a notional two-dimensional array with row elements or column elements stored contiguously. The storage of elements Aij, for row i=1,,m and column j=max1,i-kl,,minn,i+ku, depends on the order argument as follows:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor, Aij is stored as ab[j-1×pdab+ku+i-j];
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor, Aij is stored as ab[i-1×pdab+kl+j-i].
8:     pdab IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix A in the array ab.
Constraint: pdabkl+ku+1.
9:     r double *Output
On exit: the value of the norm specified by norm.
10:   fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 2.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

7  Accuracy

The BLAS standard requires accurate implementations which avoid unnecessary over/underflow (see Section 2.7 of Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms Technical (BLAST) Forum (2001)).

8  Parallelism and Performance

nag_dgb_norm (f16rbc) is not threaded in any implementation.

9  Further Comments

None.
