Description

The routine computes row and column scalings intended to equilibrate an m-by-n general matrix A and reduce its condition number. The output array r returns the row scale factors and the array c - the column scale factors. These factors are chosen to try to make the largest element in each row and column of the matrix B with elements b_i,j = r[i-1]*a_i,j*c[j-1] have an absolute value of at most the radix.

r[i-1] and c[j-1] are restricted to be a power of the radix between SMLNUM = smallest safe number and BIGNUM = largest safe number. Use of these scaling factors is not guaranteed to reduce the condition number of a but works well in practice.

SMLNUM and BIGNUM are parameters representing machine precision. You can use the ?lamch routines to compute them. For example, compute single precision values of SMLNUM and BIGNUM as follows:

SMLNUM = slamch ('s')
BIGNUM = 1 / SMLNUM

This routine differs from ?geequ by restricting the scaling factors to a power of the radix. Except for over- and underflow, scaling by these factors introduces no additional rounding errors. However, the scaled entries' magnitudes are no longer equal to approximately 1 but lie between sqrt(radix) and 1/sqrt(radix).

Input Parameters

matrix_layout	Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).
m	The number of rows of the matrix `A`; `m≥ 0`.
n	The number of columns of the matrix `A`; `n≥ 0`.
a	Array: size max(1, ldan) for column major layout and max(1, ldam) for row major layout. Contains the m-by-n matrix `A` whose equilibration factors are to be computed.
lda	The leading dimension of a; `lda≥ max(1, m)`.

Output Parameters

r, c	Arrays: `r(m)`, `c(n)`. If `info = 0`, or info>m, the array r contains the row scale factors for the matrix `A`. If `info = 0`, the array c contains the column scale factors for the matrix `A`.
rowcnd	If `info = 0` or `info>m`, rowcnd contains the ratio of the smallest `r[i]` to the largest `r[i]`. If `rowcnd≥ 0.1`, and amax is neither too large nor too small, it is not worth scaling by r.
colcnd	If `info = 0`, colcnd contains the ratio of the smallest `c[i]` to the largest `c[i]`. If `colcnd≥ 0.1`, it is not worth scaling by c.
amax	Absolute value of the largest element of the matrix `A`. If amax is very close to SMLNUM or very close to BIGNUM, the matrix should be scaled.

Return Values

This function returns a value info.

If info = 0, the execution is successful.

If info = -i, parameter i had an illegal value.

If info = i, i > 0, and

i≤m, the i-th row of A is exactly zero;

i>m, the (i-m)-th column of A is exactly zero.
