DPPEQU(3f)

NAME
DPPEQU - row and column scalings intended to equilibrate a symmetric positive definite matrix A in packed storage and reduce its condition number (with respect to the two-norm)

SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE DPPEQU(
    UPLO, N, AP, S, SCOND, AMAX, INFO )

CHARACTER
    UPLO

INTEGER
    INFO, N

DOUBLE
    PRECISION AMAX, SCOND

DOUBLE
    PRECISION AP( * ), S( * )

PURPOSE
DPPEQU computes row and column scalings intended to equilibrate a symmetric positive definite matrix A in packed storage and reduce its condition number (with respect to the two-norm). S contains the scale factors, S(i)=1/sqrt(A(i,i)), chosen so that the scaled matrix B with elements B(i,j)=S(i)*A(i,j)*S(j) 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.

ARGUMENTS

UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
    = 'U': Upper triangle of A is stored;
    = 'L': Lower triangle of A is stored.

N       (input) INTEGER
    The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.

AP      (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
    The upper or lower triangle of the symmetric matrix A, packed columnwise in a linear array. The j-th column of A is stored in the array AP as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.

S       (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
    If INFO = 0, S contains the scale factors for A.

SCOND   (output) DOUBLE PRECISION
    If INFO = 0, S 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    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION
    Absolute value of largest matrix element. If AMAX is very close to overflow or very close to underflow, the matrix should be scaled.

INFO    (output) INTEGER
    = 0: successful exit
    < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
    > 0: if INFO = i, the i-th diagonal element is nonpositive.
