Arguments

1:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the number of elements in $x$, $y$ and $w$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

2:    $\mathbf{alpha}$ – doubleInput

On entry: the scalar $\alpha$.

3:    $\mathbf{x}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – const doubleInput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{n}-1\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incx}\right|\right)$.

On entry: the $n$-element vector $x$.

If $\mathbf{incx}>0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{x}\left[\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)\times \mathbf{incx}\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{incx}<0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{x}\left[\left(\mathbf{n}-\mathit{i}\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incx}\right|\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

Intermediate elements of x are not referenced. If $\mathbf{n}=0$, x is not referenced and may be NULL.

4:    $\mathbf{incx}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of $x$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{incx}\ne 0$.

5:    $\mathbf{beta}$ – doubleInput

On entry: the scalar $\beta$.

6:    $\mathbf{y}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – const doubleInput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array y must be at least $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{n}-1\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incy}\right|\right)$.

On entry: the $n$-element vector $y$.

If $\mathbf{incy}>0$, $y_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{y}\left[\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)\times \mathbf{incy}\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{incy}<0$, $y_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{y}\left[\left(\mathbf{n}-\mathit{i}\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incy}\right|\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

Intermediate elements of y are not referenced. If $\beta =0.0$ or $\mathbf{n}=0$, y is not referenced and may be NULL.

7:    $\mathbf{incy}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the increment in the subscripts of y between successive elements of $y$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{incy}\ne 0$.

8:    $\mathbf{w}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – doubleInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array w must be at least $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{n}-1\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incw}\right|\right)$.

On entry: if $\left|\mathbf{incw}\right|\ne 1$, intermediate elements of w may contain values and will not be referenced; the other elements will be overwritten and need not be set.

On exit: the elements $w_i$ of the vector $w$ will be stored in w as follows.

If $\mathbf{incw}>0$, $w_i$ is in $\mathbf{w}\left[\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)\times \mathbf{incw}\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{incw}<0$, $w_i$ is in $\mathbf{w}\left[\left(\mathbf{n}-\mathit{i}\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incw}\right|\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

Intermediate elements of w are not referenced.

9:    $\mathbf{incw}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the increment in the subscripts of w between successive elements of $w$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{incw}\ne 0$.

10:  $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).
