?her

Performs a rank-1 update of a Hermitian matrix.

Syntax

call cher(uplo, n, alpha, x, incx, a, lda)

call zher(uplo, n, alpha, x, incx, a, lda)

call her(a, x [,uplo] [, alpha])

Description

The ?her routines perform a matrix-vector operation defined as

A := alpha*x*conjg(x') + A,

where:

alpha is a real scalar,

x is an n-element vector,

A is an n-by-n Hermitian matrix.

Input Parameters
uplo

CHARACTER*1. Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the array a is used.

If uplo = 'U' or 'u', then the upper triangular of the array a is used.

If uplo = 'L' or 'l', then the low triangular of the array a is used.

n

INTEGER. Specifies the order of the matrix A. The value of n must be at least zero.

alpha

REAL for cher

DOUBLE PRECISION for zher

Specifies the scalar alpha.

x

COMPLEX for cher

DOUBLE COMPLEX for zher

Array, dimension at least (1 + (n - 1)*abs(incx)). Before entry, the incremented array x must contain the n-element vector x.

incx

INTEGER. Specifies the increment for the elements of x.

The value of incx must not be zero.

a

COMPLEX for cher

DOUBLE COMPLEX for zher

Array, size (lda, n).

Before entry with uplo = 'U' or 'u', the leading n-by-n upper triangular part of the array a must contain the upper triangular part of the Hermitian matrix and the strictly lower triangular part of a is not referenced.

Before entry with uplo = 'L' or 'l', the leading n-by-n lower triangular part of the array a must contain the lower triangular part of the Hermitian matrix and the strictly upper triangular part of a is not referenced.

The imaginary parts of the diagonal elements need not be set and are assumed to be zero.

lda

INTEGER. Specifies the leading dimension of a as declared in the calling (sub)program. The value of lda must be at least max(1, n).

Output Parameters
a

With uplo = 'U' or 'u', the upper triangular part of the array a is overwritten by the upper triangular part of the updated matrix.

With uplo = 'L' or 'l', the lower triangular part of the array a is overwritten by the lower triangular part of the updated matrix.

The imaginary parts of the diagonal elements are set to zero.

BLAS 95 Interface Notes

Routines in Fortran 95 interface have fewer arguments in the calling sequence than their FORTRAN 77 counterparts. For general conventions applied to skip redundant or reconstructible arguments, see BLAS 95 Interface Conventions.

Specific details for the routine her interface are the following:

a

Holds the matrix A of size (n,n).

x

Holds the vector with the number of elements n.

uplo

Must be 'U' or 'L'. The default value is 'U'.

alpha

The default value is 1.
