SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE CLACON(

N, V, X, EST, KASE )

    

INTEGER KASE, N

    

REAL EST

    

COMPLEX V( N ), X( N )

PURPOSE

CLACON estimates the 1-norm of a square, complex matrix A. Reverse communication is used for evaluating matrix-vector products.

ARGUMENTS

N (input) INTEGER

The order of the matrix. N >= 1.

V (workspace) COMPLEX array, dimension (N)

On the final return, V = A*W, where EST = norm(V)/norm(W) (W is not returned).

X (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (N)

On an intermediate return, X should be overwritten by A * X, if KASE=1, A' * X, if KASE=2, where A' is the conjugate transpose of A, and CLACON must be re-called with all the other parameters unchanged.

EST (input/output) REAL

On entry with KASE = 1 or 2 and JUMP = 3, EST should be unchanged from the previous call to CLACON. On exit, EST is an estimate (a lower bound) for norm(A).

KASE (input/output) INTEGER

On the initial call to CLACON, 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 CLACON, KASE will again be 0.
