NAME

6       CLANGE  -  returns the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm, or
7       the infinity norm, or the element of largest absolute value of  a  com‐
8       plex matrix A

PURPOSE

22       CLANGE   returns  the value of the one norm,  or the Frobenius norm, or
23       the  infinity norm,  or the  element of  largest absolute value   of  a
24       complex matrix A.

DESCRIPTION

27       CLANGE returns the value
28          CLANGE = ( max(abs(A(i,j))), NORM = 'M' or 'm'
29                   (
30                   ( norm1(A),         NORM = '1', 'O' or 'o'
31                   (
32                   ( normI(A),         NORM = 'I' or 'i'
33                   (
34                   (  normF(A),          NORM  =  'F',  'f',  'E' or 'e' where
35       norm1  denotes the  one norm of a matrix (maximum  column  sum),  normI
36       denotes  the   infinity  norm  of a matrix  (maximum row sum) and normF
37       denotes the  Frobenius  norm  of  a  matrix  (square  root  of  sum  of
38       squares).   Note  that   max(abs(A(i,j)))   is  not a consistent matrix
39       norm.

ARGUMENTS

42       NORM    (input) CHARACTER*1
43               Specifies the value to  be  returned  in  CLANGE  as  described
44               above.
45
46       M       (input) INTEGER
47               The  number  of  rows  of  the  matrix A.  M >= 0.  When M = 0,
48               CLANGE is set to zero.
49
50       N       (input) INTEGER
51               The number of columns of the matrix A.  N >= 0.  When  N  =  0,
52               CLANGE is set to zero.
53
54       A       (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
55               The m by n matrix A.
56
57       LDA     (input) INTEGER
58               The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(M,1).
59
60       WORK    (workspace) REAL array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK)),
61               where LWORK >= M when NORM = 'I'; otherwise, WORK is not refer‐
62               enced.
