Description

The real flavors of the routine ?larfb apply a real block reflector H or its transpose H^T to a real m-by-n matrix C from either left or right.

The complex flavors of the routine ?larfb apply a complex block reflector H or its conjugate transpose H^H to a complex m-by-n matrix C from either left or right.

Input Parameters

A <datatype> placeholder, if present, is used for the C interface data types in the C interface section above. See C Interface Conventions for the C interface principal conventions and type definitions.

side

If side = 'L': apply H or H^T for real flavors and H or H^H for complex flavors from the left.

If side = 'R': apply H or H^T for real flavors and H or H^H for complex flavors from the right.

trans

If trans = 'N': apply H (No transpose).

If trans = 'C': apply H^H (Conjugate transpose).

If trans = 'T': apply H^T (Transpose).

direct

Indicates how H is formed from a product of elementary reflectors

If direct = 'F': H = H(1)*H(2)*. . . *H(k) (forward)

If direct = 'B': H = H(k)* . . . H(2)*H(1) (backward)

storev

Indicates how the vectors which define the elementary reflectors are stored:

If storev = 'C': Column-wise

If storev = 'R': Row-wise

m

The number of rows of the matrix C.

n

The number of columns of the matrix C.

k

The order of the matrix T (equal to the number of elementary reflectors whose product defines the block reflector).

v

The size limitations depend on values of parameters storev and side as described in the following table:

	`storev` = C		`storev` = R
	`side` = L	`side` = R	`side` = L	`side` = R
Column major	max(1,`ldv`*`k`)	max(1,`ldv`*`k`)	max(1,`ldv`*`m`)	max(1,`ldv`*`n`)
Row major	max(1,`ldv`*`m`)	max(1,`ldv`*`n`)	max(1,`ldv`*`k`)	max(1,`ldv`*`k`)

The matrix v. See Application Notes below.

ldv

The leading dimension of the array v.It should satisfy the following conditions:

	`storev` = C		`storev` = R
	`side` = L	`side` = R	`side` = L	`side` = R
Column major	max(1,`m`)	max(1,`n`)	max(1,`k`)	max(1,`k`)
Row major	max(1,`k`)	max(1,`k`)	max(1,`m`)	max(1,`n`)

t

Array, size at least max(1,ldt * k).

Contains the triangular k-by-k matrix T in the representation of the block reflector.

ldt

The leading dimension of the array t.

ldt≥k.

c

Array, size at least max(1, ldc * n) for column major layout and max(1, ldc * m) for row major layout.

On entry, the m-by-n matrix C.

ldc

The leading dimension of the array c.

ldc≥ max(1,m) for column major layout and ldc≥ max(1,n) for row major layout.

Output Parameters

c

On exit, c is overwritten by the product of the following:

H*C, or H^T*C, or C*H, or C*H^T for real flavors
H*C, or H^H*C, or C*H, or C*H^H for complex flavors

Return Values

This function returns a value info.

If info = 0, the execution is successful.

If info = -i, the i-th parameter had an illegal value.

If info = -1011, memory allocation error occurred.

Application Notes

The shape of the matrix V and the storage of the vectors which define the H(i) is best illustrated by the following example with n = 5 and k = 3. The elements equal to 1 are not stored; the corresponding array elements are modified but restored on exit. The rest of the array is not used.
