DNRM2 Class

***PURPOSE Compute the Euclidean length (L2 norm) of a vector. ***CATEGORY D1A3B ***TYPE DOUBLE PRECISION (SNRM2-S, DNRM2-D, SCNRM2-C) ***KEYWORDS BLAS, EUCLIDEAN LENGTH, EUCLIDEAN NORM, L2, LINEAR ALGEBRA, UNITARY, VECTOR ***AUTHOR Lawson, C. L., (JPL) Hanson, R. J., (SNLA) Kincaid, D. R., (U. of Texas) Krogh, F. T., (JPL) ***DESCRIPTION B L A S Subprogram Description of parameters --Input-- N number of elements in input vector(s) DX double precision vector with N elements INCX storage spacing between elements of DX --Output-- DNRM2 double precision result (zero if N .LE. 0) Euclidean norm of the N-vector stored in DX with storage increment INCX. If N .LE. 0, return with result = 0. If N .GE. 1, then INCX must be .GE. 1 Four phase method using two built-in constants that are hopefully applicable to all machines. CUTLO = maximum of SQRT(U/EPS) over all known machines. CUTHI = minimum of SQRT(V) over all known machines. where EPS = smallest no. such that EPS + 1. .GT. 1. U = smallest positive no. (underflow limit) V = largest no. (overflow limit) Brief outline of algorithm. Phase 1 scans zero components. move to phase 2 when a component is nonzero and .LE. CUTLO move to phase 3 when a component is .GT. CUTLO move to phase 4 when a component is .GE. CUTHI/M where M = N for X() real and M = 2*N for complex. Values for CUTLO and CUTHI. From the environmental parameters listed in the IMSL converter document the limiting values are as follows: CUTLO, S.P. U/EPS = 2**(-102) for Honeywell. Close seconds are Univac and DEC at 2**(-103) Thus CUTLO = 2**(-51) = 4.44089E-16 CUTHI, S.P. V = 2**127 for Univac, Honeywell, and DEC. Thus CUTHI = 2**(63.5) = 1.30438E19 CUTLO, D.P. U/EPS = 2**(-67) for Honeywell and DEC. Thus CUTLO = 2**(-33.5) = 8.23181D-11 CUTHI, D.P. same as S.P. CUTHI = 1.30438D19 DATA CUTLO, CUTHI /8.232D-11, 1.304D19/ DATA CUTLO, CUTHI /4.441E-16, 1.304E19/ ***REFERENCES C. L. Lawson, R. J. Hanson, D. R. Kincaid and F. T.
