# zlanht(3lapack)

returns the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm, or the infinity norm, or the element of largest absolute value of a complex Hermitian tridiagonal matrix A

## NAME

ZLANHT - returns the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm, or the infinity norm, or the element of largest absolute value of a complex Hermitian tridiagonal matrix A

## SYNOPSIS

- DOUBLE PRECISION

  FUNCTION ZLANHT( NORM, N, D, E )

- CHARACTER

  NORM

- INTEGER

  N

- DOUBLE

  PRECISION D( \* )

- COMPLEX\*16

  E( \* )

## PURPOSE

ZLANHT  returns the value of the one norm,  or the Frobenius norm, or the  infinity norm,  or the  element of  largest absolute value  of a complex Hermitian tridiagonal matrix A.

## DESCRIPTION

ZLANHT returns the value\
\
    ZLANHT = ( max(abs(A(i,j))), NORM = 'M' or 'm'\
\
             (\
\
             ( norm1(A),         NORM = '1', 'O' or 'o'\
\
             (\
\
             ( normI(A),         NORM = 'I' or 'i'\
\
             (\
\
             ( normF(A),         NORM = 'F', 'f', 'E' or 'e' 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 ZLANHT as described above.

- N (input) INTEGER

  The order of the matrix A.  N \>= 0.  When N = 0, ZLANHT is set to zero.

- D (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)

  The diagonal elements of A.

- E (input) COMPLEX\*16 array, dimension (N-1)

  The (n-1) sub-diagonal or super-diagonal elements of A.
