SLA_SYAMV
Purpose
SLA_SYAMV performs the matrix-vector operation
y := alpha*abs(A)*abs(x) + beta*abs(y),
where alpha and beta are scalars, x and y are vectors and A is an
n by n symmetric matrix.
This function is primarily used in calculating error bounds.
To protect against underflow during evaluation, components in
the resulting vector are perturbed away from zero by (N+1)
times the underflow threshold. To prevent unnecessarily large
errors for block-structure embedded in general matrices,
"symbolically" zero components are not perturbed. A zero
entry is considered "symbolic" if all multiplications involved
in computing that entry have at least one zero multiplicand.

Arguments
| UPLO |
(input) INTEGER
On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower
triangular part of the array A is to be referenced as follows: UPLO = BLAS_UPPER Only the upper triangular part of A is to be referenced. UPLO = BLAS_LOWER Only the lower triangular part of A is to be referenced. Unchanged on exit. |
| N |
(input) INTEGER
On entry, N specifies the number of columns of the matrix A.
N must be at least zero. Unchanged on exit. |
| ALPHA |
(input) REAL .
On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.
Unchanged on exit. |
| A |
REAL array of DIMENSION ( LDA, n ).
Before entry, the leading m by n part of the array A must
contain the matrix of coefficients. Unchanged on exit. |
| LDA |
(input) 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 |
(input) REAL array, dimension
( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) )
Before entry, the incremented array X must contain the vector x. Unchanged on exit. |
| INCX |
(input) INTEGER
On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the elements of
X. INCX must not be zero. Unchanged on exit. |
| BETA |
(input) REAL .
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 |
(input/output) REAL array, dimension
( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCY ) )
Before entry with BETA non-zero, the incremented array Y must contain the vector y. On exit, Y is overwritten by the updated vector y. |
| INCY |
(input) INTEGER
On entry, INCY specifies the increment for the elements of
Y. INCY must not be zero. Unchanged on exit. |
