SUBROUTINE SSYR2

( UPLO, N, ALPHA, X, INCX, Y, INCY, A, LDA )

REAL

ALPHA

INTEGER

INCX, INCY, LDA, N

CHARACTER*1

UPLO

REAL

A( LDA, * ), X( * ), Y( * )

SSYR2 performs the symmetric rank 2 operation

where alpha is a scalar, x and y are n element vectors and A is an n by n symmetric matrix.

UPLO - CHARACTER*1.

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

UPLO = 'U' or 'u' Only the upper triangular part of A is to be referenced.

UPLO = 'L' or 'l' Only the lower triangular part of A is to be referenced.

Unchanged on exit.

N - INTEGER.

On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A. N must be at least zero. Unchanged on exit.

ALPHA - REAL .

On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha. Unchanged on exit.

X - REAL array of dimension at least

( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ). Before entry, the incremented array X must contain the n element vector x. Unchanged on exit.

INCX - INTEGER.

On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the elements of X. INCX must not be zero. Unchanged on exit.

Y - REAL array of dimension at least

( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCY ) ). Before entry, the incremented array Y must contain the n element vector y. Unchanged on exit.

INCY - INTEGER.

On entry, INCY specifies the increment for the elements of Y. INCY must not be zero. Unchanged on exit.

A - REAL array of DIMENSION ( LDA, n ).

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

LDA - INTEGER.

On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared in the calling (sub) program. LDA must be at least max( 1, n ). Unchanged on exit.

Level 2 Blas routine.
