CLANGE  -  return the value of the one norm, or the Frobe­
       nius norm, or the infinity norm, or the element of largest
       absolute value of a complex matrix A


SYNOPSIS

       REAL FUNCTION CLANGE( NORM, M, N, A, LDA, WORK )

           CHARACTER NORM

           INTEGER   LDA, M, N

           REAL      WORK( * )

           COMPLEX   A( LDA, * )


PURPOSE

       CLANGE returns the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius
       norm, or the infinity norm,  or  the  element  of  largest
       absolute value of a complex matrix A.


DESCRIPTION

       CLANGE returns the value

          CLANGE = ( 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   Frobe­
       nius  norm  of  a  matrix (square root of sum of squares).
       Note that  max(abs(A(i,j)))  is not a  matrix norm.


ARGUMENTS

       NORM    (input) CHARACTER*1
               Specifies the value to be returned  in  CLANGE  as
               described above.

       M       (input) INTEGER
               The number of rows of the matrix A.  M >= 0.  When
               M = 0, CLANGE is set to zero.

       N       (input) INTEGER
               The number of columns of the matrix A.   N  >=  0.
               When N = 0, CLANGE is set to zero.

               The m by n matrix A.

       LDA     (input) INTEGER
               The  leading  dimension  of  the  array A.  LDA >=
               max(M,1).

       WORK    (workspace) REAL array, dimension (LWORK),
               where LWORK >= M when NORM = 'I'; otherwise,  WORK
               is not referenced.
