DPPEQU (3lapack)


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.
