NAME
DSYMV - perform the matrix-vector operation y := alpha*A*x + beta*y,
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE DSYMV ( UPLO, N, ALPHA, A, LDA, X, INCX, BETA, Y, INCY )
DOUBLE PRECISION ALPHA, BETA
INTEGER INCX, INCY, LDA, N
CHARACTER*1 UPLO
DOUBLE PRECISION A( LDA, * ), X( * ), Y( * )
PURPOSE
DSYMV performs the matrix-vector operation
where alpha and beta are scalars, x and y are n element vectors and A is an n by n symmetric matrix.
PARAMETERS
UPLO - CHARACTER*1.
On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the array A is to be
referenced as follows:
UPLO = 'U' or 'u' Only the upper triangular part of A is to be referenced.
UPLO = 'L' or 'l' Only the lower triangular part of A is to be referenced.
Unchanged on exit.
N - INTEGER.
On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A. N must be at least zero. Unchanged on exit.
ALPHA - DOUBLE PRECISION.
On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha. Unchanged on exit.
A - DOUBLE PRECISION array of DIMENSION ( 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 symmetric 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 symmetric matrix and the
strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced. Unchanged on exit.
LDA - INTEGER.
On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared in the calling (sub) program. LDA
must be at least max( 1, n ). Unchanged on exit.
X - DOUBLE PRECISION array of dimension at least
( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ). Before entry, the incremented array X must contain the n element
vector x. Unchanged on exit.
INCX - INTEGER.
On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the elements of X. INCX must not be zero. Unchanged on
exit.
BETA - DOUBLE PRECISION.
On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta. When BETA is supplied as zero then Y need not be set on
input. Unchanged on exit.
Y - DOUBLE PRECISION array of dimension at least
( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCY ) ). Before entry, the incremented array Y must contain the n element
vector y. On exit, Y is overwritten by the updated vector y.
INCY - INTEGER.
On entry, INCY specifies the increment for the elements of Y. INCY must not be zero. Unchanged on
exit.
