Description

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

The array s contains the scale factors, s[i-1] = 1/sqrt(A(i,i)). These factors are chosen so that the scaled matrix B with elements bi,j=s[i-1]*ai, j*s[j-1] has ones on the diagonal.

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).

uplo

Must be 'U' or 'L'.

Indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of A is stored:

If uplo = 'U', the array a stores the upper triangular part of the matrix A.

If uplo = 'L', the array a stores the lower triangular part of the matrix A.

n

The order of the matrix A; n 0.

a

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

Contains the n-by-n symmetric indefinite 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.
