lange - lange: general matrix


real function clange (norm, m, n, a, lda, work)
CLANGE returns the value of the 1-norm, Frobenius norm, infinity-norm, or the largest absolute value of any element of a general rectangular matrix. double precision function dlange (norm, m, n, a, lda, work)
DLANGE returns the value of the 1-norm, Frobenius norm, infinity-norm, or the largest absolute value of any element of a general rectangular matrix. real function slange (norm, m, n, a, lda, work)
SLANGE returns the value of the 1-norm, Frobenius norm, infinity-norm, or the largest absolute value of any element of a general rectangular matrix. double precision function zlange (norm, m, n, a, lda, work)
ZLANGE returns the value of the 1-norm, Frobenius norm, infinity-norm, or the largest absolute value of any element of a general rectangular matrix.

CLANGE returns the value of the 1-norm, Frobenius norm, infinity-norm, or the largest absolute value of any element of a general rectangular matrix.

Purpose:


CLANGE 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.

Returns

CLANGE


CLANGE = ( 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.

Parameters

NORM


NORM is CHARACTER*1
Specifies the value to be returned in CLANGE as described
above.

M


M is INTEGER
The number of rows of the matrix A. M >= 0. When M = 0,
CLANGE is set to zero.

N


N is INTEGER
The number of columns of the matrix A. N >= 0. When N = 0,
CLANGE is set to zero.

A


A is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
The m by n matrix A.

LDA


LDA is INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(M,1).

WORK


WORK is REAL array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK)),
where LWORK >= M when NORM = 'I'; otherwise, WORK is not
referenced.
