DLACON(3) estimates the 1-norm of a square, real matrix A

SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE DLACON(
N, V, X, ISGN, EST, KASE )

    
INTEGER KASE, N

    
DOUBLE PRECISION EST

    
INTEGER ISGN( * )

    
DOUBLE PRECISION V( * ), X( * )

PURPOSE

DLACON 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) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
On the final return, V = A*W, where EST = norm(V)/norm(W) (W is not returned).
X (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
On an intermediate return, X should be overwritten by A * X, if KASE=1, A' * X, if KASE=2, and DLACON must be re-called with all the other parameters unchanged.
ISGN (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
EST (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION
On entry with KASE = 1 or 2 and JUMP = 3, EST should be unchanged from the previous call to DLACON. On exit, EST is an estimate (a lower bound) for norm(A).
KASE (input/output) INTEGER
On the initial call to DLACON, 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 DLACON, KASE will again be 0.
