nrm2 - nrm2: || x ||_2


real(wp) function dnrm2 (n, x, incx)
DNRM2 real(wp) function dznrm2 (n, x, incx)

DNRM2

Purpose:


DNRM2 returns the euclidean norm of a vector via the function
name, so that
DNRM2 := sqrt( x'*x )

Parameters

N


N is INTEGER
number of elements in input vector(s)

X


X is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension ( 1 + ( N - 1 )*abs( INCX ) )

INCX


INCX is INTEGER, storage spacing between elements of X
If INCX > 0, X(1+(i-1)*INCX) = x(i) for 1 <= i <= n
If INCX < 0, X(1-(n-i)*INCX) = x(i) for 1 <= i <= n
If INCX = 0, x isn't a vector so there is no need to call
this subroutine. If you call it anyway, it will count x(1)
in the vector norm N times.

DZNRM2

Purpose:


DZNRM2 returns the euclidean norm of a vector via the function
name, so that
DZNRM2 := sqrt( x**H*x )

Parameters

N


N is INTEGER
number of elements in input vector(s)

X


X is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N)
complex vector with N elements

INCX


INCX is INTEGER, storage spacing between elements of X
If INCX > 0, X(1+(i-1)*INCX) = x(i) for 1 <= i <= n
If INCX < 0, X(1-(n-i)*INCX) = x(i) for 1 <= i <= n
If INCX = 0, x isn't a vector so there is no need to call
this subroutine. If you call it anyway, it will count x(1)
in the vector norm N times.
