ZLANHB  returns the value of the one norm,  or the Frobenius norm, or


 the  infinity norm,  or the element of  largest absolute value  of an


 n by n hermitian band matrix A,  with k super-diagonals.

ZLANHB

    ZLANHB = ( max(abs(A(i,j))), NORM = 'M' or 'm'


             (


             ( norm1(A),         NORM = '1', 'O' or 'o'


             (


             ( normI(A),         NORM = 'I' or 'i'


             (


             ( normF(A),         NORM = 'F', 'f', 'E' or 'e'


 where  norm1  denotes the  one norm of a matrix (maximum column sum),


 normI  denotes the  infinity norm  of a matrix  (maximum row sum) and


 normF  denotes the  Frobenius norm of a matrix (square root of sum of


 squares).  Note that  max(abs(A(i,j)))  is not a consistent matrix norm.

NORM

          NORM is CHARACTER*1


          Specifies the value to be returned in ZLANHB as described


          above.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1


          Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the


          band matrix A is supplied.


          = 'U':  Upper triangular


          = 'L':  Lower triangular

N

          N is INTEGER


          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.  When N = 0, ZLANHB is


          set to zero.

K

          K is INTEGER


          The number of super-diagonals or sub-diagonals of the


          band matrix A.  K >= 0.

AB

          AB is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAB,N)


          The upper or lower triangle of the hermitian band matrix A,


          stored in the first K+1 rows of AB.  The j-th column of A is


          stored in the j-th column of the array AB as follows:


          if UPLO = 'U', AB(k+1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-k)<=i<=j;


          if UPLO = 'L', AB(1+i-j,j)   = A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+k).


          Note that the imaginary parts of the diagonal elements need


          not be set and are assumed to be zero.

LDAB

          LDAB is INTEGER


          The leading dimension of the array AB.  LDAB >= K+1.

WORK

          WORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK)),


          where LWORK >= N when NORM = 'I' or '1' or 'O'; otherwise,


          WORK is not referenced.
