PURPOSEspoequ computes row and column scalings intended to equilibrate a sym‐
metric positive definite matrix A 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 condi‐
tion number over all possible diagonal scalings.
ARGUMENTS
N (input) The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
A (input) The N-by-N symmetric positive definite matrix whose scaling
factors are to be computed. Only the diagonal elements of A
are referenced.
LDA (input)
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N).
SCALE (output)
If INFO = 0, SCALE contains the scale factors for A.
SCOND (output)
If INFO = 0, SCALE contains the ratio of the smallest
SCALE(i) to the largest SCALE(i). If SCOND >= 0.1 and AMAX
is neither too large nor too small, it is not worth scaling
by SCALE.
AMAX (output)
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)
= 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.
