## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

integer function **izmax1** (n, zx, incx)\
 **IZMAX1** finds the index of the first vector element of maximum absolute value.

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### integer function izmax1 (integer n, complex\*16, dimension(\*) zx, integer incx)

**IZMAX1** finds the index of the first vector element of maximum absolute value.

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> IZMAX1 finds the index of the first vector element of maximum absolute value.
!>
!> Based on IZAMAX from Level 1 BLAS.
!> The change is to use the 'genuine' absolute value.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*N*

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>          The number of elements in the vector ZX.
!>
```

*ZX*

```
!>          ZX is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N)
!>          The vector ZX. The IZMAX1 function returns the index of its first
!>          element of maximum absolute value.
!>
```

*INCX*

```
!>          INCX is INTEGER
!>          The spacing between successive values of ZX.  INCX >= 1.
!>
```
