Chapter 3 Basic Matrix Operations 299
Matrix-vector multiply STBMV/DTBMV/CTBMV/ZTBMV
incx < 0 x is stored backward in array x; that
is, x
i
is stored in x((i−n)×incx+1).
Use incx = 1 if the vector x is stored contiguously in
array x, that is, if x
i
is stored in x(i). Refer to “BLAS
Indexing Conventions” in the introduction to
Chapter 2.
Output x The updated x vector replaces the input.
Notes These subprograms conform to specifications of the Level 2 BLAS.
If an error in the arguments is detected, the subprograms call error handler
XERBLA, which writes an error message onto the standard error file and
terminates execution. The standard version of XERBLA (refer to the end of this
chapter) can be replaced with a user-supplied version to change the error
procedure.
