NAME

DLANGE - returns the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm, or the infinity norm, or the element of largest absolute value of a real matrix A

SYNOPSIS

DOUBLE PRECISION: FUNCTION DLANGE( NORM, M, N, A, LDA, WORK )
: CHARACTER NORM
: INTEGER LDA, M, N
: DOUBLE PRECISION A( LDA, * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE

DLANGE returns the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm, or the infinity norm, or the element of largest absolute value of a real matrix A.

DESCRIPTION

DLANGE returns the value

DLANGE = ( max(abs(A(i,j))), NORM = aqMaq or aqmaq

      (

      ( norm1(A),         NORM = aq1aq, aqOaq or aqoaq

      (

      ( normI(A),         NORM = aqIaq or aqiaq

      (

      ( normF(A),         NORM = aqFaq, aqfaq, aqEaq or aqeaq where norm1 denotes the one norm of a matrix (maximum column sum), normI denotes the infinity norm of a matrix (maximum row sum) and normF denotes the Frobenius norm of a matrix (square root of sum of squares). Note that max(abs(A(i,j))) is not a consistent matrix norm.

ARGUMENTS

NORM (input) CHARACTER*1: Specifies the value to be returned in DLANGE as described above.
M (input) INTEGER: The number of rows of the matrix A. M >= 0. When M = 0, DLANGE is set to zero.
N (input) INTEGER: The number of columns of the matrix A. N >= 0. When N = 0, DLANGE is set to zero.
A (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N): The m by n matrix A.
LDA (input) INTEGER: The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(M,1).
WORK (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK)),: where LWORK >= M when NORM = aqIaq; otherwise, WORK is not referenced.
