larfg - larfg: generate Householder reflector


subroutine clarfg (n, alpha, x, incx, tau)
CLARFG generates an elementary reflector (Householder matrix). subroutine dlarfg (n, alpha, x, incx, tau)
DLARFG generates an elementary reflector (Householder matrix). subroutine slarfg (n, alpha, x, incx, tau)
SLARFG generates an elementary reflector (Householder matrix). subroutine zlarfg (n, alpha, x, incx, tau)
ZLARFG generates an elementary reflector (Householder matrix).

CLARFG generates an elementary reflector (Householder matrix).

Purpose:


CLARFG generates a complex elementary reflector H of order n, such
that
H**H * ( alpha ) = ( beta ), H**H * H = I.
( x ) ( 0 )
where alpha and beta are scalars, with beta real, and x is an
(n-1)-element complex vector. H is represented in the form
H = I - tau * ( 1 ) * ( 1 v**H ) ,
( v )
where tau is a complex scalar and v is a complex (n-1)-element
vector. Note that H is not hermitian.
If the elements of x are all zero and alpha is real, then tau = 0
and H is taken to be the unit matrix.
Otherwise 1 <= real(tau) <= 2 and abs(tau-1) <= 1 .

Parameters

N


N is INTEGER
The order of the elementary reflector.

ALPHA


ALPHA is COMPLEX
On entry, the value alpha.
On exit, it is overwritten with the value beta.

X


X is COMPLEX array, dimension
(1+(N-2)*abs(INCX))
On entry, the vector x.
On exit, it is overwritten with the vector v.

INCX


INCX is INTEGER
The increment between elements of X. INCX > 0.

TAU


TAU is COMPLEX
The value tau.

DLARFG generates an elementary reflector (Householder matrix).

Purpose:


DLARFG generates a real elementary reflector H of order n, such
that
H * ( alpha ) = ( beta ), H**T * H = I.
( x ) ( 0 )
where alpha and beta are scalars, and x is an (n-1)-element real
vector. H is represented in the form
H = I - tau * ( 1 ) * ( 1 v**T ) ,
( v )
where tau is a real scalar and v is a real (n-1)-element
vector.
If the elements of x are all zero, then tau = 0 and H is taken to be
the unit matrix.
Otherwise 1 <= tau <= 2.

Parameters

X


X is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension
(1+(N-2)*abs(INCX))
On entry, the vector x.
On exit, it is overwritten with the vector v.

INCX


INCX is INTEGER
The increment between elements of X. INCX > 0.

TAU


TAU is DOUBLE PRECISION

SLARFG generates an elementary reflector (Householder matrix).

Purpose:


SLARFG generates a real elementary reflector H of order n, such
that
H * ( alpha ) = ( beta ), H**T * H = I.
( x ) ( 0 )
where alpha and beta are scalars, and x is an (n-1)-element real
vector. H is represented in the form

( v )
where tau is a real scalar and v is a real (n-1)-element
vector.
If the elements of x are all zero, then tau = 0 and H is taken to be
the unit matrix.
Otherwise 1 <= tau <= 2.

Parameters

N


N is INTEGER
The order of the elementary reflector.

ALPHA

On entry, the vector x.
On exit, it is overwritten with the vector v.

INCX


INCX is INTEGER
The increment between elements of X. INCX > 0.

TAU
