SLANST  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 tridiagonal matrix A.

SLANST

    SLANST = ( 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.

NORM

          NORM is CHARACTER*1


          Specifies the value to be returned in SLANST as described


          above.

N

          N is INTEGER


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


          set to zero.

D

          D is REAL array, dimension (N)


          The diagonal elements of A.

E

          E is REAL array, dimension (N-1)


          The (n-1) sub-diagonal or super-diagonal elements of A.
