Description

The routine computes row and column scalings intended to equilibrate a symmetric (Hermitian) positive-definite matrix A and reduce its condition number (with respect to the two-norm).

These factors are chosen so that the scaled matrix B with elements Bi,j=s[i-1]*Ai,j*s[j-1] has diagonal elements equal to 1. s[i - 1] is a power of two nearest to, but not exceeding 1/sqrt(Ai,i).

This choice of s puts the condition number of B within a factor n of the smallest possible condition number over all possible diagonal scalings.

Input Parameters

matrix_layout

Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).

n

The order of the matrix A; n 0.

a

Array: size max(1, lda*n) .

Contains the n-by-n symmetric or Hermitian positive definite matrix A whose scaling factors are to be computed. Only the diagonal elements of A are referenced.

lda

The leading dimension of a; lda max(1, m).

Output Parameters

s

Array, size (n).

If info = 0, the array s contains the scale factors for A.

scond

If info = 0, scond contains the ratio of the smallest s[i] to the largest s[i]. If scond 0.1, and amax is neither too large nor too small, it is not worth scaling by s.

amax

Absolute value of the largest element of the matrix A. If amax is very close to SMLNUM or 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, the i-th diagonal element of A is nonpositive.
