About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

dznrm2

Compute the L2-norm of a complex double-precision floating-point vector.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/blas-base-dznrm2

Usage

var dznrm2 = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-dznrm2' );

dznrm2( N, zx, strideX )

Computes the L2-norm of a complex double-precision floating-point vector.

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var zx = new Complex128Array( [ 0.3, 0.1, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.2 ] );

var norm = dznrm2( 4, zx, 1 );
// returns ~0.8

The function has the following parameters:

• N: number of indexed elements.
• zx: input Complex128Array.
• strideX: index increment for zx.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to traverse every other value,

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var zx = new Complex128Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );

var norm = dznrm2( 2, zx, 2 );
// returns ~4.6

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

// Initial array:
var zx0 = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );

// Create an offset view:
var zx1 = new Complex128Array( zx0.buffer, zx0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

// Compute the L2-norm:
var norm = dznrm2( 2, zx1, 1 );
// returns ~9.3

dznrm2.ndarray( N, zx, strideX, offset )

Computes the L2-norm of a complex double-precision floating-point vector using alternative indexing semantics.

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var zx = new Complex128Array( [ 0.3, 0.1, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.2 ] );

var norm = dznrm2.ndarray( 4, zx, 1, 0 );
// returns ~0.8

The function has the following additional parameters:

• offsetX: starting index.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to start from the second index,

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var zx = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );

var norm = dznrm2.ndarray( 2, zx, 1, 1 );
// returns ~9.3

Notes

• If N <= 0, both functions return 0.0.
• dznrm2() corresponds to the BLAS level 1 function dznrm2.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' );
var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float64-ctor' );
var dznrm2 = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-dznrm2' );

function rand() {
    return new Complex128( discreteUniform( 0, 10 ), discreteUniform( -5, 5 ) );
}

var zx = filledarrayBy( 10, 'complex128', rand );
console.log( zx.toString() );

// Computes the L2-norm:
var norm = dznrm2( zx.length, zx, 1 );
console.log( norm );

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/blas/base/dznrm2.h"

c_dznrm2( N, *ZX, strideX )

Computes the L2-norm of a complex double-precision floating-point vector.

const double zx[] = { 0.3, 0.1, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.2 };

double norm = c_dznrm2( 4, (void *)zx, 1 );
// returns 0.8

The function accepts the following arguments:

• N: [in] CBLAS_INT number of indexed elements.
• ZX: [in] void* input array.
• strideX: [in] CBLAS_INT index increment for ZX.

double c_dznrm2( const CBLAS_INT N, const void *ZX, const CBLAS_INT strideX );

Examples

#include "stdlib/blas/base/dznrm2.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    // Create a strided array of interleaved real and imaginary components:
    const double zx[] = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 };

    // Specify the number of elements:
    const int N = 4;

    // Specify stride length:
    const int strideX = 1;

    // Compute the L2-norm:
    c_dznrm2( N, (void *)zx, strideX );

    // Print the result:
    printf( "L2-norm: %lf\n", norm );
}
