LARF applies an elementary reflector to a general rectangular matrix.

Purpose:

 LARF applies a real elementary reflector H to a real m by n matrix
 C, from either the left or the right. H is represented in the form

       H = I - tau * v * v**T

 where tau is a real scalar and v is a real vector.

 If tau = 0, then H is taken to be the unit matrix.
Parameters:
  • SIDE – [in]

    SIDE is CHARACTER*1

    = ‘L’: form H * C

    = ‘R’: form C * H
  • M – [in]

    M is INTEGER

    The number of rows of the matrix C.

  • N – [in]

    N is INTEGER

    The number of columns of the matrix C.

  • V – [in]

    V is REAL array, dimension

    (1 + (M-1)*abs(INCV)) if SIDE = ‘L’

    or (1 + (N-1)*abs(INCV)) if SIDE = ‘R’

    The vector v in the representation of H. V is not used if TAU = 0.

  • INCV – [in]

    INCV is INTEGER

    The increment between elements of v. INCV <> 0.

  • TAU – [in]

    TAU is REAL

    The value tau in the representation of H.

  • C – [inout]

    C is REAL array, dimension (LDC,N)

    On entry, the m by n matrix C.

    On exit, C is overwritten by the matrix H * C if SIDE = ‘L’, or C * H if SIDE = ‘R’.
  • LDC – [in]

    LDC is INTEGER

    The leading dimension of the array C. LDC >= fla_max(1,M).

  • WORK – [out]

    WORK is REAL array, dimension

    (N) if SIDE = ‘L’

    or (M) if SIDE = ‘R’
