SLANSF returns the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm, or


 the infinity norm, or the element of largest absolute value of a


 real symmetric matrix A in RFP format.

SLANSF

    SLANSF = ( 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  matrix norm.

NORM

          NORM is CHARACTER*1


          Specifies the value to be returned in SLANSF as described


          above.

TRANSR

          TRANSR is CHARACTER*1


          Specifies whether the RFP format of A is normal or


          transposed format.


          = 'N':  RFP format is Normal;


          = 'T':  RFP format is Transpose.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1


           On entry, UPLO specifies whether the RFP matrix A came from


           an upper or lower triangular matrix as follows:


           = 'U': RFP A came from an upper triangular matrix;


           = 'L': RFP A came from a lower triangular matrix.

N

          N is INTEGER


          The order of the matrix A. N >= 0. When N = 0, SLANSF is


          set to zero.

A

          A is REAL array, dimension ( N*(N+1)/2 );


          On entry, the upper (if UPLO = 'U') or lower (if UPLO = 'L')


          part of the symmetric matrix A stored in RFP format. See the


          "Notes" below for more details.


          Unchanged on exit.

WORK

          WORK is REAL array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK)),


          where LWORK >= N when NORM = 'I' or '1' or 'O'; otherwise,


          WORK is not referenced.

  We first consider Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) Format when N is


  even. We give an example where N = 6.


      AP is Upper             AP is Lower


   00 01 02 03 04 05       00


      11 12 13 14 15       10 11


         22 23 24 25       20 21 22


            33 34 35       30 31 32 33


               44 45       40 41 42 43 44


                  55       50 51 52 53 54 55


  Let TRANSR = 'N'. RFP holds AP as follows:


  For UPLO = 'U' the upper trapezoid A(0:5,0:2) consists of the last


  three columns of AP upper. The lower triangle A(4:6,0:2) consists of


  the transpose of the first three columns of AP upper.


  For UPLO = 'L' the lower trapezoid A(1:6,0:2) consists of the first


  three columns of AP lower. The upper triangle A(0:2,0:2) consists of


  the transpose of the last three columns of AP lower.


  This covers the case N even and TRANSR = 'N'.


         RFP A                   RFP A


        03 04 05                33 43 53


        13 14 15                00 44 54


        23 24 25                10 11 55


        33 34 35                20 21 22


        00 44 45                30 31 32


        01 11 55                40 41 42


        02 12 22                50 51 52


  Now let TRANSR = 'T'. RFP A in both UPLO cases is just the


  transpose of RFP A above. One therefore gets:


           RFP A                   RFP A


     03 13 23 33 00 01 02    33 00 10 20 30 40 50


     04 14 24 34 44 11 12    43 44 11 21 31 41 51


     05 15 25 35 45 55 22    53 54 55 22 32 42 52


  We then consider Rectangular Full Packed (RFP) Format when N is


  odd. We give an example where N = 5.


     AP is Upper                 AP is Lower


   00 01 02 03 04              00


      11 12 13 14              10 11


         22 23 24              20 21 22


            33 34              30 31 32 33


               44              40 41 42 43 44


  Let TRANSR = 'N'. RFP holds AP as follows:


  For UPLO = 'U' the upper trapezoid A(0:4,0:2) consists of the last


  three columns of AP upper. The lower triangle A(3:4,0:1) consists of


  the transpose of the first two columns of AP upper.


  For UPLO = 'L' the lower trapezoid A(0:4,0:2) consists of the first


  three columns of AP lower. The upper triangle A(0:1,1:2) consists of


  the transpose of the last two columns of AP lower.


  This covers the case N odd and TRANSR = 'N'.


         RFP A                   RFP A


        02 03 04                00 33 43


        12 13 14                10 11 44


        22 23 24                20 21 22


        00 33 34                30 31 32


        01 11 44                40 41 42


  Now let TRANSR = 'T'. RFP A in both UPLO cases is just the


  transpose of RFP A above. One therefore gets:


           RFP A                   RFP A


     02 12 22 00 01             00 10 20 30 40 50


     03 13 23 33 11             33 11 21 31 41 51


     04 14 24 34 44             43 44 22 32 42 52
