SLACON(3F)SLACON(3F)NAME
SLACON - estimate the 1-norm of a square, real matrix A
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE SLACON( N, V, X, ISGN, EST, KASE )
INTEGER KASE, N
REAL EST
INTEGER ISGN( * )
REAL V( * ), X( * )
PURPOSE
SLACON estimates the 1-norm of a square, real matrix A. Reverse
communication is used for evaluating matrix-vector products.
ARGUMENTS
N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrix. N >= 1.
V (workspace) REAL array, dimension (N)
On the final return, V = A*W, where EST = norm(V)/norm(W) (W is
not returned).
X (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N)
On an intermediate return, X should be overwritten by A * X, if
KASE=1, A' * X, if KASE=2, and SLACON must be re-called with all
the other parameters unchanged.
ISGN (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
EST (output) REAL
An estimate (a lower bound) for norm(A).
KASE (input/output) INTEGER
On the initial call to SLACON, KASE should be 0. On an
intermediate return, KASE will be 1 or 2, indicating whether X
should be overwritten by A * X or A' * X. On the final return
from SLACON, KASE will again be 0.
