Description

The SSPMV or DSPMV subroutine performs the matrix-vector operation:

y := alpha * A * x + beta * y

where alpha and beta are scalars, x and y are N element vectors and A is an N by N symmetric matrix, supplied in packed form.

Parameters

UPLO

On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the matrix A is supplied in the packed array AP as follows:

UPLO = 'U' or 'u'	The upper triangular part of A is supplied in AP.
UPLO = 'L' or 'l'	The lower triangular part of A is supplied in AP.

Unchanged on exit.

On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A; N must be at least 0; unchanged on exit.

ALPHA

On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha; unchanged on exit.

A vector of dimension at least ( ( N * (N+1) )/2 ); on entry with UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the array AP must contain the upper triangular part of the symmetric matrix packed sequentially, column by column, so that AP(1) contains A(1,1), AP(2) and AP(3) contain A(1,2) and A(2,2) respectively, and so on; on entry with UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the array AP must contain the lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix packed sequentially, column by column, so that AP(1) contains A(1,1), AP(2) and AP(3) contain A(2,1) and A(3,1) respectively, and so on; unchanged on exit.

A vector of dimension at least (1 + (N-1) * abs( INCX ) ); on entry, the incremented array X must contain the N element vector x; unchanged on exit.

INCX

On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the elements of X; INCX must not be 0; unchanged on exit.

BETA

On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta; when BETA is supplied as 0 then Y need not be set on input; unchanged on exit.

A vector of dimension at least (1 + (N-1) * abs( INCY ) ); on entry, the incremented array Y must contain the N element vector y; on exit, Y is overwritten by the updated vector y.

INCY

On entry, INCY specifies the increment for the elements of Y; INCY must not be 0; unchanged on exit.
