Description

?larfy applies an elementary reflector, or Householder matrix, H, to an n by n symmetric or Hermitian matrix C, from both the left and the right. H is represented in the form H = I - tau * v * vT (for real flavors) or H = I - tau * v * vH (for complex flavors), where tau is a scalar and v is a vector. If tau is zero, H is taken to be the unit matrix.

Input Parameters

uplo

CHARACTER*1

Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the symmetric or Hermitian matrix C is stored.

  • = 'U': Upper triangular part of C is stored.
  • = 'L': Lower triangular part of C is stored.
n

INTEGER

The number of rows and columns of the matrix C. n ≥ 0.

v

REAL for slarfy

DOUBLE PRECISION for dlarfy

COMPLEX for clarfy

COMPLEX*16 for zlarfy

Array, dimension (1 + (n-1)*abs(incv)). The vector v as described above.

incv

INTEGER

The increment between successive elements of v. incv must not be zero.

tau

REAL for slarfy

DOUBLE PRECISION for dlarfy

COMPLEX for clarfy

COMPLEX*16 for zlarfy

The value tau as described above.

C

REAL for slarfy

DOUBLE PRECISION for dlarfy

COMPLEX for clarfy

COMPLEX*16 for zlarfy

Array, dimension (ldc, n). On entry, the matrix C.

ldc

INTEGER

The leading dimension of the array C. ldc ≥ max( 1, n ).

Output Parameters

C
