CLANGE(3)

NAME
CLANGE - 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

SYNOPSIS

REAL FUNCTION
    CLANGE( NORM, M, N, A, LDA, WORK )

CHARACTER
    NORM

INTEGER
    LDA, M, N

REAL
    WORK( * )

COMPLEX
    A( LDA, * )

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.

DESCRIPTION
CLANGE returns the value
   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.

ARGUMENTS

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

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

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

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