Description

BLAS1$VSROTG, BLAS1$VDROTG, and BLAS1$VGROTG construct a real Givens plane rotation. BLAS1$VCROTG, BLAS1$VZROTG, and BLAS1$VWROTG construct a complex Givens plane rotation. The Givens plane rotation eliminates the second element of a two-element vector. The elements of the vector are real or complex single-precision or double-precision (D and G) numbers. The routine name determines the data type you should specify for arguments a, b, and s. Specify the same data type for each of these arguments.
BLAS1$VSROTG, BLAS1$VDROTG, and BLAS1$VGROTG can use the reconstruction element z to store the rotation elements for future use. There is no counterpart to the term z for BLAS1$VCROTG, BLAS1$VZROTG, and BLAS1$VWROTG.
The BLAS1$VxROTG routines can be used to introduce zeros selectively into a matrix.
For BLAS1$VDROTG, BLAS1$VGROTG, BLAS1$VZROTG, and BLAS1$VWROTG (the double-precision routines), the elements of the vector are scaled to avoid intermediate overflow or underflow. BLAS1$VSROTG and BLAS1$VCROTG (the single-precision routines) use a backup data type to avoid intermediate underflow or overflow, which may cause the final result to differ from the original Fortran routine.
BLAS1$VSROTG, BLAS1$VDROTG, and BLAS1$VGROTG --- Real Givens Plane Rotation

Given the elements a and b of an input vector, BLAS1$VSROTG, and BLAS1$VDROTG, BLAS1$VGROTG calculate the elements c and s of an orthogonal matrix such that:

A real Givens plane rotation is constructed for values a and b by computing values for r , c , s , and z , as follows:

________ r = p / 2 2 \/ a + b

where:

p =SIGN(a) if |a| > |b|

p =SIGN(b) if |a|<=|b|

c = a r
if r <> 0

c = 1 if r = 0

s = b r
if r <>0

s = 0 if r = 0

z = s if |a| > |b|

z = 1 c
if |a|<=|b| and c <>0 and r <>0

z = 1 if |a|<=|b| and c = 0 and r <>0

z = 0 if r = 0

BLAS1$VSROTG, BLAS1$VDROTG, and BLAS1$VGROTG can use the reconstruction element z to store the rotation elements for future use. The quantities c and s are reconstructed from z as follows:

For |z| = 1, c = 0 and s = 1.0

_______ For |z| < 1, c= / 2 and s = z \/ 1 - z

1 ________ For |z| > 1, c = - and s = / 2 z \/ 1 - c

The arguments c and s can be passed to the BLAS1$VxROT routines.

BLAS1$VCROTG, BLAS1$VZROTG, and BLAS1$VWROTG --- Complex Givens Plane Rotation

Given the elements a and b of an input vector, BLAS1$VCROTG, BLAS1$VZROTG, and BLAS1$VWROTG calculate the elements c and s of an orthogonal matrix such that:

There are no BLAS Level 1 routines with which you can use complex c and s arguments.

Description

BLAS1$VxSCAL computes a*x where a is a scalar number and x is an n-element vector. The computation is expressed as follows:

Vector x contains n elements that are accessed from array x by stepping incx elements at a time. The vector x can be a row or a column of a matrix. Both forward and backward indexing are permitted.

The public-domain BLAS Level 1 xSCAL routines require a positive value for incx. The Run-Time Library BLAS Level 1 routines interpret a negative value for incx as the absolute value of incx.

The algorithm does not provide a special case for a = 0. Therefore, specifying 0 for a has the effect of setting to zero all elements of the vector x using vector operations.

Example
