NAME

6       SLANST  -  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  real
8       symmetric tridiagonal matrix A

PURPOSE

20       SLANST   returns  the value of the one norm,  or the Frobenius norm, or
21       the  infinity norm,  or the  element of  largest absolute value   of  a
22       real symmetric tridiagonal matrix A.

DESCRIPTION

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

ARGUMENTS

40       NORM    (input) CHARACTER*1
41               Specifies the value to  be  returned  in  SLANST  as  described
42               above.
43
44       N       (input) INTEGER
45               The  order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.  When N = 0, SLANST is set
46               to zero.
47
48       D       (input) REAL array, dimension (N)
49               The diagonal elements of A.
50
51       E       (input) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
52               The (n-1) sub-diagonal or super-diagonal elements of A.
