?poequ

Computes row and column scaling factors intended to equilibrate a symmetric (Hermitian) positive definite matrix and reduce its condition number.

call cpoequ( n, a, lda, s, scond, amax, info )

call zpoequ( n, a, lda, s, scond, amax, info )

call poequ( a, s [,scond] [,amax] [,info] )

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). The output array s returns scale factors such that s(i)s[i + 1] contains


Equation

These factors are chosen so that the scaled matrix B with elements Bi,j=s(i)*Ai,j*s(j) has diagonal elements equal to 1.

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.

See ?laqsy auxiliary function that uses scaling factors computed by ?poequ.

Input Parameters

n

INTEGER. The order of the matrix A; n 0.

a

REAL for spoequ

DOUBLE PRECISION for dpoequ

COMPLEX for cpoequ

DOUBLE COMPLEX for zpoequ.

Array: size lda by *.

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.

The second dimension of a must be at least max(1,n).

lda

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

Output Parameters

s

REAL for single precision flavors

DOUBLE PRECISION for double precision flavors.

Array, size n.

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

scond

REAL for single precision flavors

DOUBLE PRECISION for double precision flavors.

If info = 0, scond contains the ratio of the smallest s(i) to the largest s(i).

amax

REAL for single precision flavors

DOUBLE PRECISION for double precision flavors.

Absolute value of the largest element of the matrix A.

info

INTEGER.

If info = 0, the execution is successful.

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

If info = i, the i-th diagonal element of A is nonpositive.

LAPACK 95 Interface Notes

Routines in Fortran 95 interface have fewer arguments in the calling sequence than their FORTRAN 77 counterparts. For general conventions applied to skip redundant or reconstructible arguments, see LAPACK 95 Interface Conventions.

Specific details for the routine poequ interface are as follows:

a

Holds the matrix A of size (n,n).

s

Holds the vector of length n.

Application Notes

If scond 0.1 and amax is neither too large nor too small, it is not worth scaling by s.

If amax is very close to SMLNUM or very close to BIGNUM, the matrix A should be scaled.
