## NAME

BLAS/SRC/dtpmv.f

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

subroutine **dtpmv** (uplo, trans, diag, n, ap, x, incx)\
 **DTPMV**

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine dtpmv (character uplo, character trans, character diag, integer n, double precision, dimension(\*) ap, double precision, dimension(\*) x, integer incx)

**DTPMV**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> DTPMV  performs one of the matrix-vector operations
!>
!>    x := A*x,   or   x := A**T*x,
!>
!> where x is an n element vector and  A is an n by n unit, or non-unit,
!> upper or lower triangular matrix, supplied in packed form.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*UPLO*

```
!>          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
!>           On entry, UPLO specifies whether the matrix is an upper or
!>           lower triangular matrix as follows:
!>
!>              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   A is an upper triangular matrix.
!>
!>              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   A is a lower triangular matrix.
!>
```

*TRANS*

```
!>          TRANS is CHARACTER*1
!>           On entry, TRANS specifies the operation to be performed as
!>           follows:
!>
!>              TRANS = 'N' or 'n'   x := A*x.
!>
!>              TRANS = 'T' or 't'   x := A**T*x.
!>
!>              TRANS = 'C' or 'c'   x := A**T*x.
!>
```

*DIAG*

```
!>          DIAG is CHARACTER*1
!>           On entry, DIAG specifies whether or not A is unit
!>           triangular as follows:
!>
!>              DIAG = 'U' or 'u'   A is assumed to be unit triangular.
!>
!>              DIAG = 'N' or 'n'   A is not assumed to be unit
!>                                  triangular.
!>
```

*N*

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>           On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A.
!>           N must be at least zero.
!>
```

*AP*

```
!>          AP is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension at least
!>           ( ( n*( n + 1 ) )/2 ).
!>           Before entry with  UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the array AP must
!>           contain the upper triangular 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.
!>           Before entry with UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the array AP must
!>           contain the lower triangular 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.
!>           Note that when  DIAG = 'U' or 'u', the diagonal elements of
!>           A are not referenced, but are assumed to be unity.
!>
```

*X*

```
!>          X is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension at least
!>           ( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ).
!>           Before entry, the incremented array X must contain the n
!>           element vector x. On exit, X is overwritten with the
!>           transformed vector x.
!>
```

*INCX*

```
!>          INCX is INTEGER
!>           On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the elements of
!>           X. INCX must not be zero.
!>
