NAME

ZLANGE - return the value of the one norm, or the Frobe

nius norm, or the infinity norm, or the element of largest abso

lute value of a complex matrix A

SYNOPSIS

DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION ZLANGE( NORM, M, N, A, LDA, WORK
)
    CHARACTER    NORM
    INTEGER      LDA, M, N
    DOUBLE       PRECISION WORK( * )
    COMPLEX*16   A( LDA, * )

PURPOSE

ZLANGE 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 matrix A.

DESCRIPTION

ZLANGE returns the value

ZLANGE = ( 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 ma

trix (square root of sum of squares). Note that

max(abs(A(i,j))) is not a matrix norm.

ARGUMENTS

NORM (input) CHARACTER*1

Specifies the value to be returned in ZLANGE as

described above.

M (input) INTEGER

The number of rows of the matrix A. M >= 0. When

M = 0, ZLANGE is set to zero.

N (input) INTEGER

The number of columns of the matrix A. N >= 0.

When N = 0, ZLANGE is set to zero.

A (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDA,N)

The m by n matrix A.

LDA (input) INTEGER

The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >=

max(M,1).

WORK (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension

(LWORK),

where LWORK >= M when NORM = 'I'; otherwise, WORK

is not referenced.
