💖 BLAS/SRC/cherk.f 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the glow-up zone, this is cherk from BLAS/SRC/cherk.f and she is that girl 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

BLAS/SRC/cherk.f — she's the file, she's the moment, she's the hermitian rank-k queen 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Functions/Subroutines

• subroutine cherk (uplo, trans, n, k, alpha, a, lda, beta, c, ldc) — CHERK

---

🦋 Function/Subroutine Documentation 🦋

subroutine cherk (character uplo, character trans, integer n, integer k, real alpha, complex, dimension(lda,*) a, integer lda, real beta, complex, dimension(ldc,*) c, integer ldc)

CHERK 💅

Purpose:

CHERK does one of the hermitian rank k operations, and no she does not do both, pick one babe:

C := alpha*A*A**H + beta*C,

or

C := alpha*A**H*A + beta*C,

where alpha and beta are real scalars, C is an n by n hermitian matrix and A is an n by k matrix in the first case and a k by n matrix in the second case. ✨

💜 Parameters 💜

UPLO

UPLO is CHARACTER*1

On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the array C is to be referenced, as follows:

• UPLO = 'U' or 'u' — Only the upper triangular part of C is to be referenced.
• UPLO = 'L' or 'l' — Only the lower triangular part of C is to be referenced.

TRANS

TRANS is CHARACTER*1

On entry, TRANS specifies the operation to be performed as follows:

• TRANS = 'N' or 'n' — C := alpha*A*A**H + beta*C.
• TRANS = 'C' or 'c' — C := alpha*A**H*A + beta*C.

N

N is INTEGER

On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix C. N must be at least zero. (zero is allowed, we don't judge 🫶)

K

K is INTEGER

On entry with TRANS = 'N' or 'n', K specifies the number of columns of the matrix A, and on entry with TRANS = 'C' or 'c', K specifies the number of rows of the matrix A. K must be at least zero.

ALPHA

ALPHA is REAL

On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha. literally just the scalar, no drama 💅

A

A is COMPLEX array, dimension ( LDA, ka ), where ka is

k when TRANS = 'N' or 'n', and is n otherwise.

Before entry with TRANS = 'N' or 'n', the leading n by k part of the array A must contain the matrix A, otherwise the leading k by n part of the array A must contain the matrix A.

LDA

LDA is INTEGER

On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared in the calling (sub) program. When TRANS = 'N' or 'n' then LDA must be at least max( 1, n ), otherwise LDA must be at least max( 1, k ).

BETA

BETA is REAL

On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta. 🍓

C

C is COMPLEX array, dimension ( LDC, N )

Before entry with UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading n by n upper triangular part of the array C must contain the upper triangular part of the hermitian matrix and the strictly lower triangular part of C is not referenced. On exit, the upper triangular part of the array C is overwritten by the upper triangular part of the updated matrix.

Before entry with UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the leading n by n lower triangular part of the array C must contain the lower triangular part of the hermitian matrix and the strictly upper triangular part of C is not referenced. On exit, the lower triangular part of the array C is overwritten by the lower triangular part of the updated matrix.

Note that the imaginary parts of the diagonal elements need not be set, they are assumed to be zero, and on exit they are set to zero. so like, don't stress about setting them, she'll handle it 😌

LDC

LDC is INTEGER

On entry, LDC specifies the first dimension of C as declared in the calling (sub) program. LDC must be at least max( 1, n ).
