1  Purpose

F06JMF (IZAMAX) computes the index of the absolutely largest component of a complex vector.

2  Specification

FUNCTION F06JMF ( N, X, INCX)
INTEGER F06JMF
INTEGER  N, INCX
COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)  X(*)
The routine may be called by its BLAS name izamax.

3  Description

F06JMF (IZAMAX) returns, via the function name, the smallest index i such that
Rexi+Imxi=maxjRexj+Imxj
where x is an n-element complex vector scattered with stride INCX.

5  Parameters

1:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the number of elements in x.
2:     X(*) – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the dimension of the array X must be at least max1, 1+N-1 ×INCX .
On entry: the n-element vector x. xi must be stored in X1+i-1×INCX, for i=1,2,,N.
Intermediate elements of X are not referenced.
3:     INCX – INTEGERInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of X between successive elements of x.
Constraint: INCX>0.
