3.3 Level 2 BLAS

3.3 Level 2 BLAS The level 2 functions implement matrix-vector products and rank-1 and rank-2 matrix updates. Different types of matrix structure can be exploited using the conventions of section 3.1.

gemv(A, x, y[, trans='N'[, alpha=1.0[, beta=0.0]]])

...\alpha A^H x + \beta y \quad (\mathrm{trans} = \mathrm{'C'}).
\end{displaymath}

As an example, the following code multiplies the tridiagonal matrix

\begin{displaymath}
A = \left[\begin{array}{rrrr}
1 & 6 & 0 & 0 \\
2 & -4 & 3 & 0 \\
0 & -3 & -1 & 1
\end{array}\right]
\end{displaymath}

with the vector x = (1,-1,2,-2).
>>> from cvxopt.base import matrix
>>> from cvxopt.blas import gbmv
>>> A = matrix([[0., 1., 2.], [6., -4., -3.], [3., -1., 0.], [1., 0., 0.]])
>>> x = matrix([1., -1., 2., -2.])
>>> y = matrix(0., (3,1))
>>> gbmv(A, 3, 1, x, y)
>>> print y
[-5.00e+00]
[ 1.20e+01]
[-1.00e+00]

The following example illustrates the use of tbsv().

>>> from cvxopt.base import matrix
>>> from cvxopt.blas import tbsv
>>> A = matrix([-6., 5., -1., 2.], (1,4))
>>> x = matrix(1.0, (4,1))
>>> tbsv(A, x) # x := diag(A)^{-1}*x
>>> print x
[-1.67e-01]
[ 2.00e-01]
[-1.00e+00]
[ 5.00e-01]
