# zspmv.f(3)

## NAME

SRC/zspmv.f

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

subroutine **zspmv** (uplo, n, alpha, ap, x, incx, beta, y, incy)\
 **ZSPMV** computes a matrix-vector product for complex vectors using a complex symmetric packed matrix

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine zspmv (character uplo, integer n, complex\*16 alpha, complex\*16, dimension( \* ) ap, complex\*16, dimension( \* ) x, integer incx, complex\*16 beta, complex\*16, dimension( \* ) y, integer incy)

**ZSPMV** computes a matrix-vector product for complex vectors using a complex symmetric packed matrix

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> ZSPMV  performs the matrix-vector operation
!>
!>    y := alpha*A*x + beta*y,
!>
!> where alpha and beta are scalars, x and y are n element vectors and
!> A is an n by n symmetric matrix, supplied in packed form.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*UPLO*

```
!>          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
!>           On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower
!>           triangular part of the matrix A is supplied in the packed
!>           array AP as follows:
!>
!>              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   The upper triangular part of A is
!>                                  supplied in AP.
!>
!>              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   The lower triangular part of A is
!>                                  supplied in AP.
!>
!>           Unchanged on exit.
!>
```

*N*

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

*ALPHA*

```
!>          ALPHA is COMPLEX*16
!>           On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.
!>           Unchanged on exit.
!>
```

*AP*

```
!>          AP is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension at least
!>           ( ( N*( N + 1 ) )/2 ).
!>           Before entry, with UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the array AP must
!>           contain the upper triangular part of the symmetric 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 part of the symmetric 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.
!>           Unchanged on exit.
!>
```

*X*

```
!>          X is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension at least
!>           ( 1 + ( N - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ).
!>           Before entry, the incremented array X must contain the N-
!>           element vector x.
!>           Unchanged on exit.
!>
```

*INCX*

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

*BETA*

```
!>          BETA is COMPLEX*16
!>           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*

```
!>          Y is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension at least
!>           ( 1 + ( N - 1 )*abs( INCY ) ).
!>           Before entry, the incremented array Y must contain the n
!>           element vector y. On exit, Y is overwritten by the updated
!>           vector y.
!>
```

*INCY*

```
!>          INCY is INTEGER
!>           On entry, INCY specifies the increment for the elements of
!>           Y. INCY must not be zero.
!>           Unchanged on exit.
