PURPOSE

20       SSYMV  performs the matrix-vector  operation
21
22       where alpha and beta are scalars, x and y are n element vectors  and  A
23       is an n by n symmetric matrix.

ARGUMENTS

27       UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
28              On  entry,  UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower triangular
29              part of the array A is to be referenced as follows:
30
31              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   Only the upper triangular part of A is to be
32              referenced.
33
34              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   Only the lower triangular part of A is to be
35              referenced.
36
37              Unchanged on exit.
38
39       N      - INTEGER.
40              On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A.  N must  be  at
41              least zero.  Unchanged on exit.
42
43       ALPHA  - REAL            .
44              On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.  Unchanged on exit.
45
46       A      - REAL             array of DIMENSION ( LDA, n ).
47              Before  entry  with  UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading n by n upper
48              triangular part of the array A must contain the upper triangular
49              part  of  the symmetric matrix and the strictly lower triangular
50              part of A is not referenced.  Before entry with UPLO  =  'L'  or
51              'l',  the  leading  n  by n lower triangular part of the array A
52              must contain the lower triangular part of the  symmetric  matrix
53              and  the  strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced.
54              Unchanged on exit.
55
56       LDA    - INTEGER.
57              On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared  in
58              the  calling  (sub)  program.  LDA must be at least max( 1, n ).
59              Unchanged on exit.
60
61       X      - REAL             array of dimension at least
62              ( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ).  Before  entry,  the  incremented
63              array X must contain the n element vector x.  Unchanged on exit.
64
65       INCX   - INTEGER.
66              On  entry,  INCX  specifies the increment for the elements of X.
67              INCX must not be zero.  Unchanged on exit.
68
69       BETA   - REAL            .
70              On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta. When BETA is  supplied
71              as zero then Y need not be set on input.  Unchanged on exit.
72
73       Y      - REAL             array of dimension at least
74              (  1  +  ( n - 1 )*abs( INCY ) ).  Before entry, the incremented
75              array Y must contain the n element vector y. On exit, Y is over‐
76              written by the updated vector y.
77
78       INCY   - INTEGER.
79              On  entry,  INCY  specifies the increment for the elements of Y.
80              INCY must not be zero.  Unchanged on exit.
