FUNCTIONS

gesvd

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(m,n); int jobu(); int jobvt(); [o,phys]s(r); [o,phys]U(p,q); [o,phys]VT(s,t); int [o,phys]info())

Computes the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a real M-by-N matrix A.

The SVD is written

 A = U * SIGMA * V'

where SIGMA is an M-by-N matrix which is zero except for its min(m,n) diagonal elements, U is an M-by-M orthogonal matrix, and V is an N-by-N orthogonal matrix. The diagonal elements of SIGMA are the singular values of A; they are real and non-negative, and are returned in descending order. The first min(m,n) columns of U and V are the left and right singular vectors of A.

Note that the routine returns VT = V', not V.

    jobu:   Specifies options for computing all or part of the matrix U:
            = 0:  no columns of U (no left singular vectors) are
                    computed.
            = 1:  all M columns of U are returned in array U:
            = 2:  the first min(m,n) columns of U (the left singular
                    vectors) are returned in the array U;
            = 3:  the first min(m,n) columns of U (the left singular
                    vectors) are overwritten on the array A;

            = 1:  all N rows of V' are returned in the array VT;
            = 2:  the first min(m,n) rows of V' (the right singular
                    vectors) are returned in the array VT;
            = 3:  the first min(m,n) rows of V' (the right singular
                    vectors) are overwritten on the array A;
            jobvt and jobu cannot both be 3.
    A:      On entry, the M-by-N matrix A.
            On exit,
            if jobu = 3,  A is overwritten with the first min(m,n)

                            stored rowwise);
            if jobu != 3 and jobvt != 3, the contents of A
                            are destroyed.
    s:      The singular values of A, sorted so that s(i) >= s(i+1).
    U:      If jobu = 1, U contains the M-by-M orthogonal matrix U;
            if jobu = 3, U contains the first min(m,n) columns of U
            (the left singular vectors, stored columnwise);
            if jobu = 0 or 3, U is not referenced.

                  superdiagonals of an intermediate bidiagonal form B
                  did not converge to zero.

Computes the generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) of an M-by-N real matrix A and P-by-N real matrix B:

        U'*A*Q = D1*( 0 R ),    V'*B*Q = D2*( 0 R )
        where U, V and Q are orthogonal matrices, and Z' is the transpose
        of Z.

Let K+L = the effective numerical rank of the matrix (A',B')', then R is a K+L-by-K+L nonsingular upper triangular matrix, D1 and D2 are M-by-(K+L) and P-by-(K+L) ``diagonal'' matrices and of the following structures, respectively:

        If M-K-L >= 0,
                        K  L
           D1 =     K ( I  0 )
                    L ( 0  C )
                M-K-L ( 0  0 )
                      K  L
           D2 =   L ( 0  S )

      ( 0 R ) = K (  0   R11  R12 )
                L (  0    0   R22 )
    where
      C = diag( ALPHA(K+1), ... , ALPHA(K+L) ),
      S = diag( BETA(K+1),  ... , BETA(K+L) ),
      C**2 + S**2 = I.
      R is stored in A(1:K+L,N-K-L+1:N) on exit.
    If M-K-L < 0,
                      K M-K K+L-M
           D1 =   K ( I  0    0   )
                M-K ( 0  C    0   )
                        K M-K K+L-M
           D2 =   M-K ( 0  S    0  )
                K+L-M ( 0  0    I  )
                  P-L ( 0  0    0  )
                       N-K-L  K   M-K  K+L-M
      ( 0 R ) =     K ( 0    R11  R12  R13  )
                  M-K ( 0     0   R22  R23  )
                K+L-M ( 0     0    0   R33  )
    where
      C = diag( ALPHA(K+1), ... , ALPHA(M) ),
      S = diag( BETA(K+1),  ... , BETA(M) ),
      C**2 + S**2 = I.
      (R11 R12 R13 ) is stored in A(1:M, N-K-L+1:N), and R33 is stored
      ( 0  R22 R23 )
      in B(M-K+1:L,N+M-K-L+1:N) on exit.

The routine computes C, S, R, and optionally the orthogonal transformation matrices U, V and Q.

In particular, if B is an N-by-N nonsingular matrix, then the GSVD of A and B implicitly gives the SVD of A*inv(B):

                         A*inv(B) = U*(D1*inv(D2))*V'.

If ( A',B')' has orthonormal columns, then the GSVD of A and B is also equal to the CS decomposition of A and B. Furthermore, the GSVD can be used to derive the solution of the eigenvalue problem:

                         A'*A x = lambda* B'*B x.

In some literature, the GSVD of A and B is presented in the form

                     U'*A*X = ( 0 D1 ),   V'*B*X = ( 0 D2 )
                     where U and V are orthogonal and X is nonsingular, D1 and D2 are "diagonal".

The former GSVD form can be converted to the latter form by taking the nonsingular matrix X as

                         X = Q*( I   0    )
                               ( 0 inv(R) ).

geevx

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(n,n);  int jobvl(); int jobvr(); int balance(); int sense(); [o,phys]wr(n); [o,phys]wi(n); [o,phys]vl(m,m); [o,phys]vr(p,p); int [o,phys]ilo(); int [o,phys]ihi(); [o,phys]scale(n); [o,phys]abnrm(); [o,phys]rconde(q); [o,phys]rcondv(r); int [o,phys]info())

Computes for an N-by-N real nonsymmetric matrix A, the eigenvalues and, optionally, the left and/or right eigenvectors.

Optionally also, it computes a balancing transformation to improve the conditioning of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors (ilo, ihi, scale, and abnrm), reciprocal condition numbers for the eigenvalues (rconde), and reciprocal condition numbers for the right eigenvectors (rcondv).

The right eigenvector v(j) of A satisfies:

 A * v(j) = lambda(j) * v(j)
 where lambda(j) is its eigenvalue.

The left eigenvector u(j) of A satisfies:

 u(j)**H * A = lambda(j) * u(j)**H
 where u(j)**H denotes the conjugate transpose of u(j).

The computed eigenvectors are normalized to have Euclidean norm equal to 1 and largest component real.

Balancing a matrix means permuting the rows and columns to make it more nearly upper triangular, and applying a diagonal similarity transformation D * A * D**(-1), where D is a diagonal matrix, to make its rows and columns closer in norm and the condition numbers of its eigenvalues and eigenvectors smaller. The computed reciprocal condition numbers correspond to the balanced matrix. Permuting rows and columns will not change the condition numbers (in exact arithmetic) but diagonal scaling will. For further explanation of balancing, see section 4.10.2 of the LAPACK Users' Guide.

                   norm. Do not permute;

            Computed reciprocal condition numbers will be for the matrix
            after balancing and/or permuting. Permuting does not change
            condition numbers (in exact arithmetic), but balancing does.

    A:      The N-by-N matrix.
            It is overwritten.  If jobvl = 1 or

            version of the input matrix A.
    wr
    wi:     wr and wi contain the real and imaginary parts,
            respectively, of the computed eigenvalues.  Complex
            conjugate pairs of eigenvalues will appear consecutively
            with the eigenvalue having the positive imaginary part
            first.

            as their eigenvalues else vl is not referenced.
            If the j-th eigenvalue is real, then u(j) = vl(:,j),
            the j-th column of vl.
            If the j-th and (j+1)-st eigenvalues form a complex

            If the j-th eigenvalue is real, then v(j) = vr(:,j),
            the j-th column of vr.
            If the j-th and (j+1)-st eigenvalues form a complex
            conjugate pair, then v(j) = vr(:,j) + i*vr(:,j+1) and

            J = 1,...,ilo-1 or I = ihi+1,...,N.
    scale:  Details of the permutations and scaling factors applied
            when balancing A.  If P(j) is the index of the row and column
            interchanged with row and column j, and D(j) is the scaling
            factor applied to row and column j, then

                     = D(J),    for J = ilo,...,ihi
                     = P(J)     for J = ihi+1,...,N.
            The order in which the interchanges are made is N to ihi+1,
            then 1 to ilo-1.

Computes for a pair of N-by-N real nonsymmetric matrices (A,B) the generalized eigenvalues, and optionally, the left and/or right generalized eigenvectors.

A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices (A,B) is a scalar lambda or a ratio alpha/beta = lambda, such that A - lambda*B is singular. It is usually represented as the pair (alpha,beta), as there is a reasonable interpretation for beta=0, and even for both being zero.

The right eigenvector v(j) corresponding to the eigenvalue lambda(j) of (A,B) satisfies

        A * v(j) = lambda(j) * B * v(j).

The left eigenvector u(j) corresponding to the eigenvalue lambda(j) of (A,B) satisfies

        u(j)**H * A  = lambda(j) * u(j)**H * B .
        where u(j)**H is the conjugate-transpose of u(j).
    Arguments

    alphar:
    alphai:
    beta:   On exit, (alphar(j) + alphai(j)*i)/beta(j), j=1,...,N, will
            be the generalized eigenvalues.  If alphai(j) is zero, then
            the j-th eigenvalue is real; if positive, then the j-th and
            (j+1)-st eigenvalues are a complex conjugate pair, with
            alphai(j+1) negative.
            Note: the quotients alphar(j)/beta(j) and alphai(j)/beta(j)
            may easily over- or underflow, and beta(j) may even be zero.
            Thus, the user should avoid naively computing the ratio
            alpha/beta.  However, alphar and alphai will be always less

            u(j) = VL(:,j), the j-th column of VL. If the j-th and
            (j+1)-th eigenvalues form a complex conjugate pair, then
            u(j) = VL(:,j)+i*VL(:,j+1) and u(j+1) = VL(:,j)-i*VL(:,j+1).
            Each eigenvector will be scaled so the largest component have

            (j+1)-th eigenvalues form a complex conjugate pair, then
            v(j) = VR(:,j)+i*VR(:,j+1) and v(j+1) = VR(:,j)-i*VR(:,j+1).
            Each eigenvector will be scaled so the largest component have

Computes for a pair of N-by-N real nonsymmetric matrices (A,B) the generalized eigenvalues, and optionally, the left and/or right generalized eigenvectors.

Optionally also, it computes a balancing transformation to improve the conditioning of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors (ilo, ihi, lscale, rscale, abnrm, and bbnrm), reciprocal condition numbers for the eigenvalues (rconde), and reciprocal condition numbers for the right eigenvectors (rcondv).

A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices (A,B) is a scalar lambda or a ratio alpha/beta = lambda, such that A - lambda*B is singular. It is usually represented as the pair (alpha,beta), as there is a reasonable interpretation for beta=0, and even for both being zero.

The right eigenvector v(j) corresponding to the eigenvalue lambda(j) of (A,B) satisfies

        A * v(j) = lambda(j) * B * v(j) .

The left eigenvector u(j) corresponding to the eigenvalue lambda(j) of (A,B) satisfies

        u(j)**H * A  = lambda(j) * u(j)**H * B.
        where u(j)**H is the conjugate-transpose of u(j).

Further Details ===============

Balancing a matrix pair (A,B) includes, first, permuting rows and columns to isolate eigenvalues, second, applying diagonal similarity transformation to the rows and columns to make the rows and columns as close in norm as possible. The computed reciprocal condition numbers correspond to the balanced matrix. Permuting rows and columns will not change the condition numbers (in exact arithmetic) but diagonal scaling will. For further explanation of balancing, see section 4.11.1.2 of LAPACK Users' Guide.

An approximate error bound on the chordal distance between the i-th computed generalized eigenvalue w and the corresponding exact eigenvalue lambda is

        chord(w, lambda) <= EPS * norm(abnrm, bbnrm) / rconde(I)

An approximate error bound for the angle between the i-th computed eigenvector vl(i) or vr(i) is given by

        EPS * norm(abnrm, bbnrm) / DIF(i).

For further explanation of the reciprocal condition numbers rconde and rcondv, see section 4.11 of LAPACK User's Guide.

    Arguments
    =========
    balanc: Specifies the balance option to be performed.
            = 0:  do not diagonally scale or permute;
            = 1:  permute only;
            = 2:  scale only;
            = 3:  both permute and scale.
            Computed reciprocal condition numbers will be for the
            matrices after permuting and/or balancing. Permuting does
            not change condition numbers (in exact arithmetic), but
            balancing does.
    jobvl:  = 0:  do not compute the left generalized eigenvectors;
            = 1:  compute the left generalized eigenvectors.
    jobvr:  = 0:  do not compute the right generalized eigenvectors;
            = 1:  compute the right generalized eigenvectors.
    sense:  Determines which reciprocal condition numbers are computed.
            = 0: none are computed;
            = 1: computed for eigenvalues only;
            = 2: computed for eigenvectors only;
            = 3: computed for eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
    A:      On entry, the matrix A in the pair (A,B).
            On exit, A has been overwritten. If jobvl=1 or jobvr=1
            or both, then A contains the first part of the real Schur
            form of the "balanced" versions of the input A and B.
    B:      On entry, the matrix B in the pair (A,B).
            On exit, B has been overwritten. If jobvl=1 or jobvr=1
            or both, then B contains the second part of the real Schur
            form of the "balanced" versions of the input A and B.
    alphar:
    alphai:
    beta:   On exit, (alphar(j) + alphai(j)*i)/beta(j), j=1,...,N, will
            be the generalized eigenvalues.  If alphai(j) is zero, then
            the j-th eigenvalue is real; if positive, then the j-th and
            (j+1)-st eigenvalues are a complex conjugate pair, with
            alphai(j+1) negative.
            Note: the quotients alphar(j)/beta(j) and alphai(j)/beta(j)
            may easily over- or underflow, and beta(j) may even be zero.
            Thus, the user should avoid naively computing the ratio
            ALPHA/beta. However, alphar and alphai will be always less
            than and usually comparable with norm(A) in magnitude, and
            beta always less than and usually comparable with norm(B).
    vl:     If jobvl = 1, the left eigenvectors u(j) are stored one
            after another in the columns of vl, in the same order as
            their eigenvalues. If the j-th eigenvalue is real, then
            u(j) = vl(:,j), the j-th column of vl. If the j-th and
            (j+1)-th eigenvalues form a complex conjugate pair, then
            u(j) = vl(:,j)+i*vl(:,j+1) and u(j+1) = vl(:,j)-i*vl(:,j+1).
            Each eigenvector will be scaled so the largest component have
            abs(real part) + abs(imag. part) = 1.
            Not referenced if jobvl = 0.
    vr:     If jobvr = 1, the right eigenvectors v(j) are stored one
            after another in the columns of vr, in the same order as
            their eigenvalues. If the j-th eigenvalue is real, then
            v(j) = vr(:,j), the j-th column of vr. If the j-th and
            (j+1)-th eigenvalues form a complex conjugate pair, then
            v(j) = vr(:,j)+i*vr(:,j+1) and v(j+1) = vr(:,j)-i*vr(:,j+1).
            Each eigenvector will be scaled so the largest component have
            abs(real part) + abs(imag. part) = 1.
            Not referenced if jobvr = 0.
    ilo,ihi:ilo and ihi are integer values such that on exit
            A(i,j) = 0 and B(i,j) = 0 if i > j and
            j = 1,...,ilo-1 or i = ihi+1,...,N.
            If balanc = 0 or 2, ilo = 1 and ihi = N.
    lscale: Details of the permutations and scaling factors applied
            to the left side of A and B.  If PL(j) is the index of the
            row interchanged with row j, and DL(j) is the scaling
            factor applied to row j, then
              lscale(j) = PL(j)  for j = 1,...,ilo-1
                        = DL(j)  for j = ilo,...,ihi
                        = PL(j)  for j = ihi+1,...,N.
            The order in which the interchanges are made is N to ihi+1,
            then 1 to ilo-1.
    rscale: Details of the permutations and scaling factors applied
            to the right side of A and B.  If PR(j) is the index of the
            column interchanged with column j, and DR(j) is the scaling
            factor applied to column j, then
              rscale(j) = PR(j)  for j = 1,...,ilo-1
                        = DR(j)  for j = ilo,...,ihi
                        = PR(j)  for j = ihi+1,...,N
            The order in which the interchanges are made is N to ihi+1,
            then 1 to ilo-1.
    abnrm:  The one-norm of the balanced matrix A.
    bbnrm:  The one-norm of the balanced matrix B.
    rconde: If sense = 1 or 3, the reciprocal condition numbers of
            the selected eigenvalues, stored in consecutive elements of
            the array. For a complex conjugate pair of eigenvalues two
            consecutive elements of rconde are set to the same value.
            Thus rconde(j), rcondv(j), and the j-th columns of vl and vr
            all correspond to the same eigenpair (but not in general the
            j-th eigenpair, unless all eigenpairs are selected).
            If sense = 2, rconde is not referenced.
    rcondv: If sense = 2 or 3, the estimated reciprocal condition
            numbers of the selected eigenvectors, stored in consecutive
            elements of the array. For a complex eigenvector two
            consecutive elements of rcondv are set to the same value. If
            the eigenvalues cannot be reordered to compute rcondv(j),
            rcondv(j) is set to 0; this can only occur when the true
            value would be very small anyway.
            If sense = 1, rcondv is not referenced.
    info:   = 0:  successful exit
            < 0:  if info = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
            = 1,...,N:
                  The QZ iteration failed.  No eigenvectors have been
                  calculated, but alphar(j), alphai(j), and beta(j)
                  should be correct for j=info+1,...,N.
            > N:  =N+1: other than QZ iteration failed in hgeqz.

Computes for an N-by-N real nonsymmetric matrix A, the eigenvalues, the real Schur form T, and, optionally, the matrix of Schur vectors Z. This gives the Schur factorization A = Z*T*Z'.

Optionally, it also orders the eigenvalues on the diagonal of the real Schur form so that selected eigenvalues are at the top left. The leading columns of Z then form an orthonormal basis for the invariant subspace corresponding to the selected eigenvalues.

A matrix is in real Schur form if it is upper quasi-triangular with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 blocks. 2-by-2 blocks will be standardized in the form

        [  a  b  ]
        [  c  a  ]

The eigenvalues of such a block are a +- sqrt(bc).

            to the top left of the Schur form.
            If sort = 0, select_func is not referenced.
            An eigenvalue wr(j)+sqrt(-1)*wi(j) is selected if
            select_func(SCALAR(wr(j)), SCALAR(wi(j))) is true; i.e., 
            if either one of a complex conjugate pair of eigenvalues 
            is selected, then both complex eigenvalues are selected.
            Note that a selected complex eigenvalue may no longer
            satisfy select_func(wr(j),wi(j)) = 1 after ordering, since
            ordering may change the value of complex eigenvalues

            Complex conjugate pairs of eigenvalues will appear
            consecutively with the eigenvalue having the positive
            imaginary part first.

            vectors else vs is not referenced.

                     eigenvalues; elements 1:ILO-1 and i+1:N of wr and wi
                     contain those eigenvalues which have converged; if
                     jobvs = 1, vs contains the matrix which reduces A
                     to its partially converged Schur form.

                     eigenvalues were too close to separate (the problem
                     is very ill-conditioned);
               = N+2: after reordering, roundoff changed values of some
                     complex eigenvalues so that leading eigenvalues in
                     the Schur form no longer satisfy select_func = 1  This
                     could also be caused by underflow due to scaling.

Computes for an N-by-N real nonsymmetric matrix A, the eigenvalues, the real Schur form T, and, optionally, the matrix of Schur vectors Z. This gives the Schur factorization A = Z*T*Z'.

Optionally, it also orders the eigenvalues on the diagonal of the real Schur form so that selected eigenvalues are at the top left; computes a reciprocal condition number for the average of the selected eigenvalues (rconde); and computes a reciprocal condition number for the right invariant subspace corresponding to the selected eigenvalues (rcondv). The leading columns of Z form an orthonormal basis for this invariant subspace.

For further explanation of the reciprocal condition numbers rconde and rcondv, see Section 4.10 of the LAPACK Users' Guide (where these quantities are called s and sep respectively).

A real matrix is in real Schur form if it is upper quasi-triangular with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 blocks. 2-by-2 blocks will be standardized in the form

        [  a  b  ]
        [  c  a  ]
        where b*c < 0. The eigenvalues of such a block are a +- sqrt(bc).

            are.  Note that a selected complex eigenvalue may no longer

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(n,n); int jobvsl();int jobvsr();int sort();[io,phys]B(n,n);[o,phys]alphar(n);[o,phys]alphai(n);[o,phys]beta(n);[o,phys]VSL(m,m);[o,phys]VSR(p,p);int [o,phys]sdim();int [o,phys]info(); SV* select_func)

Computes for a pair of N-by-N real nonsymmetric matrices (A,B), the generalized eigenvalues, the generalized real Schur form (S,T), optionally, the left and/or right matrices of Schur vectors (VSL and VSR). This gives the generalized Schur factorization

        (A,B) = ( (VSL)*S*(VSR)', (VSL)*T*(VSR)' )

Optionally, it also orders the eigenvalues so that a selected cluster of eigenvalues appears in the leading diagonal blocks of the upper quasi-triangular matrix S and the upper triangular matrix T.The leading columns of VSL and VSR then form an orthonormal basis for the corresponding left and right eigenspaces (deflating subspaces).

(If only the generalized eigenvalues are needed, use the driver ggev instead, which is faster.)

A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices (A,B) is a scalar w or a ratio alpha/beta = w, such that A - w*B is singular. It is usually represented as the pair (alpha,beta), as there is a reasonable interpretation for beta=0 or both being zero.

A pair of matrices (S,T) is in generalized real Schur form if T is upper triangular with non-negative diagonal and S is block upper triangular with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 blocks. 1-by-1 blocks correspond to real generalized eigenvalues, while 2-by-2 blocks of S will be ``standardized'' by making the corresponding elements of T have the form:

        [  a  0  ]
        [  0  b  ]

and the pair of corresponding 2-by-2 blocks in S and T will have a complex conjugate pair of generalized eigenvalues.

            = 0:  Eigenvalues are not ordered;
            = 1:  Eigenvalues are ordered (see delztg);
    delztg: If sort = 0, delztg is not referenced.
            If sort = 1, delztg is used to select eigenvalues to sort
            to the top left of the Schur form.
            An eigenvalue (alphar(j)+alphai(j))/beta(j) is selected if
            delztg(alphar(j),alphai(j),beta(j)) is true; i.e. if either
            one of a complex conjugate pair of eigenvalues is selected,
            then both complex eigenvalues are selected.
            Note that in the ill-conditioned case, a selected complex
            eigenvalue may no longer satisfy delztg(alphar(j),alphai(j),
            beta(j)) = 1 after ordering. info is to be set to N+2
            in this case.
    A:      On entry, the first of the pair of matrices.
            On exit, A has been overwritten by its generalized Schur

            If sort = 1, sdim = number of eigenvalues (after sorting)
            for which delztg is true.  (Complex conjugate pairs for which
            delztg is true for either eigenvalue count as 2.)
    alphar:
    alphai:
    beta:   On exit, (alphar(j) + alphai(j)*i)/beta(j), j=1,...,N, will
            be the generalized eigenvalues.  alphar(j) + alphai(j)*i,
            and  beta(j),j=1,...,N are the diagonals of the complex Schur
            form (S,T) that would result if the 2-by-2 diagonal blocks of
            the real Schur form of (A,B) were further reduced to
            triangular form using 2-by-2 complex unitary transformations.
            If alphai(j) is zero, then the j-th eigenvalue is real; if
            positive, then the j-th and (j+1)-st eigenvalues are a
            complex conjugate pair, with alphai(j+1) negative.
            Note: the quotients alphar(j)/beta(j) and alphai(j)/beta(j)
            may easily over- or underflow, and beta(j) may even be zero.
            Thus, the user should avoid naively computing the ratio.
            However, alphar and alphai will be always less than and
            usually comparable with norm(A) in magnitude, and beta always
            less than and usually comparable with norm(B).

                  form, but alphar(j), alphai(j), and beta(j) should
                  be correct for j=info+1,...,N.
            > N:  =N+1: other than QZ iteration failed in hgeqz.
                  =N+2: after reordering, roundoff changed values of
                        some complex eigenvalues so that leading
                        eigenvalues in the Generalized Schur form no
                        longer satisfy delztg=1  This could also
                        be caused due to scaling.

syevd

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(n,n);  int jobz(); int uplo(); [o,phys]w(n); int [o,phys]info())

Computes all eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix A. If eigenvectors are desired, it uses a divide and conquer algorithm.

The divide and conquer algorithm makes very mild assumptions about floating point arithmetic. It will work on machines with a guard digit in add/subtract, or on those binary machines without guard digits which subtract like the Cray X-MP, Cray Y-MP, Cray C-90, or Cray-2. It could conceivably fail on hexadecimal or decimal machines without guard digits, but we know of none.

Because of large use of BLAS of level 3, syevd needs N**2 more workspace than syevx.

    Arguments
    =========
    jobz:   = 0:  Compute eigenvalues only;
            = 1:  Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
    uplo    = 0:  Upper triangle of A is stored;

            the leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains
            the lower triangular part of the matrix A.
            On exit, if jobz = 1, then if info = 0, A contains the
            orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A.
            If jobz = 0, then on exit the lower triangle (if uplo=1)

            diagonal, is destroyed.

Computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix A. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.

    Arguments
    =========
    jobz:   = 0:  Compute eigenvalues only;
            = 1:  Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
    range:  = 0: all eigenvalues will be found.
            = 1: all eigenvalues in the half-open interval (vl,vu]
                   will be found.
            = 1: the il-th through iu-th eigenvalues will be found.
    uplo    = 0:  Upper triangle of A is stored;
            = 1:  Lower triangle of A is stored.
    A:      On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If uplo = 0, the
            leading N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the
            upper triangular part of the matrix A.  If uplo = 1,
            the leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains
            the lower triangular part of the matrix A.
            On exit, the lower triangle (if uplo=1) or the upper
            triangle (if uplo=0) of A, including the diagonal, is
            destroyed.
    vl:
    vu:     If range=1, the lower and upper bounds of the interval to
            be searched for eigenvalues. vl < vu.
            Not referenced if range = 0 or 2.
    il:
    iu:     If range=2, the indices (in ascending order) of the
            smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned.
            1 <= il <= iu <= N, if N > 0; il = 1 and iu = 0 if N = 0.
            Not referenced if range = 0 or 1.
    abstol: The absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues.
            An approximate eigenvalue is accepted as converged
            when it is determined to lie in an interval [a,b]
            of width less than or equal to
                    abstol + EPS *   max( |a|,|b| ) ,
            where EPS is the machine precision.  If abstol is less than
            or equal to zero, then  EPS*|T|  will be used in its place,
            where |T| is the 1-norm of the tridiagonal matrix obtained
            by reducing A to tridiagonal form.
            Eigenvalues will be computed most accurately when abstol is
            set to twice the underflow threshold 2*lamch(1), not zero.
            If this routine returns with info>0, indicating that some
            eigenvectors did not converge, try setting abstol to
            2*lamch(1).

    m:      The total number of eigenvalues found.  0 <= m <= N.
            If range = 0, m = N, and if range = 2, m = iu-il+1.
    w:      On normal exit, the first M elements contain the selected
            eigenvalues in ascending order.
    z:      If jobz = 1, then if info = 0, the first m columns of z
            contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A
            corresponding to the selected eigenvalues, with the i-th
            column of z holding the eigenvector associated with w(i).
            If an eigenvector fails to converge, then that column of z
            contains the latest approximation to the eigenvector, and the
            index of the eigenvector is returned in ifail.
            If jobz = 0, then z is not referenced.
            Note: the user must ensure that at least max(1,m) columns are
            supplied in the array z; if range = 1, the exact value of m
            is not known in advance and an upper bound must be used.
    ifail:   If jobz = 1, then if info = 0, the first m elements of
            ifail are zero.  If info > 0, then ifail contains the
            indices of the eigenvectors that failed to converge.
            If jobz = 0, then ifail is not referenced.
    info:   = 0:  successful exit
            < 0:  if info = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
            > 0:  if info = i, then i eigenvectors failed to converge.
                  Their indices are stored in array ifail.

syevr

  Signature: ([phys]A(n,n);  int jobz(); int range(); int uplo(); [phys]vl(); [phys]vu(); int [phys]il(); int [phys]iu();[phys]abstol();int [o,phys]m();[o,phys]w(n); [o,phys]z(p,q);int [o,phys]isuppz(r); int [o,phys]info())

Computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix T. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.

Whenever possible, syevr calls stegr to compute the eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations. stegr computes eigenvalues by the dqds algorithm, while orthogonal eigenvectors are computed from various ``good'' L D L^T representations (also known as Relatively Robust Representations). Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization is avoided as far as possible. More specifically, the various steps of the algorithm are as follows. For the i-th unreduced block of T,

       (a) Compute T - sigma_i = L_i D_i L_i^T, such that L_i D_i L_i^T
            is a relatively robust representation,
       (b) Compute the eigenvalues, lambda_j, of L_i D_i L_i^T to high
           relative accuracy by the dqds algorithm,
       (c) If there is a cluster of close eigenvalues, "choose" sigma_i
           close to the cluster, and go to step (a),
       (d) Given the approximate eigenvalue lambda_j of L_i D_i L_i^T,
           compute the corresponding eigenvector by forming a
           rank-revealing twisted factorization.

The desired accuracy of the output can be specified by the input parameter abstol.

For more details, see ``A new O(n^2) algorithm for the symmetric tridiagonal eigenvalue/eigenvector problem'', by Inderjit Dhillon, Computer Science Division Technical Report No. UCB//CSD-97-971, UC Berkeley, May 1997.

Note 1 : syevr calls stegr when the full spectrum is requested on machines which conform to the ieee-754 floating point standard. syevr calls stebz and stein on non-ieee machines and when partial spectrum requests are made.

Normal execution of stegr may create NaNs and infinities and hence may abort due to a floating point exception in environments which do not handle NaNs and infinities in the ieee standard default manner.

            If high relative accuracy is important, set abstol to

sygvd

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(n,n);int [phys]itype();int jobz(); int uplo();[io,phys]B(n,n);[o,phys]w(n); int [o,phys]info())

Computes all the eigenvalues, and optionally, the eigenvectors of a real generalized symmetric-definite eigenproblem, of the form A*x=(lambda)*B*x, A*Bx=(lambda)*x, or B*A*x=(lambda)*x. Here A and B are assumed to be symmetric and B is also positive definite.

The divide and conquer algorithm makes very mild assumptions about floating point arithmetic. It will work on machines with a guard digit in add/subtract, or on those binary machines without guard digits which subtract like the Cray X-MP, Cray Y-MP, Cray C-90, or Cray-2. It could conceivably fail on hexadecimal or decimal machines without guard digits, but we know of none.

Here A and B are assumed to be symmetric and B is also positive definite. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.

    Arguments
    =========
    itype:  Specifies the problem type to be solved:
            = 1:  A*x = (lambda)*B*x
            = 2:  A*B*x = (lambda)*x
            = 3:  B*A*x = (lambda)*x
    jobz:   = 0:  Compute eigenvalues only;
            = 1:  Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

            = 1: all eigenvalues in the half-open interval (vl,vu]
                   will be found.
            = 2: the il-th through iu-th eigenvalues will be found.
    uplo:   = 0:  Upper triangle of A and B are stored;
            = 1:  Lower triangle of A and B are stored.
    A:      On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If uplo = 0, the
            leading N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the
            upper triangular part of the matrix A.  If uplo = 1,
            the leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains
            the lower triangular part of the matrix A.
            On exit, the lower triangle (if uplo=1) or the upper
            triangle (if uplo=0) of A, including the diagonal, is
            destroyed.
    B:      On entry, the symmetric matrix B.  If uplo = 0, the

            the leading N-by-N lower triangular part of B contains
            the lower triangular part of the matrix B.
            On exit, if info <= N, the part of B containing the matrix is
            overwritten by the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky
            factorization B = U'*U or B = L*L'.
    vl:
    vu:     If range=1, the lower and upper bounds of the interval to
            be searched for eigenvalues. vl < vu.
            Not referenced if range = 0 or 2.
    il:
    iu:     If range=2, the indices (in ascending order) of the
            smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned.
            1 <= il <= iu <= N, if N > 0; il = 1 and iu = 0 if N = 0.
            Not referenced if range = 0 or 1.
    abstol: The absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues.
            An approximate eigenvalue is accepted as converged
            when it is determined to lie in an interval [a,b]
            of width less than or equal to
                    abstol + EPS *   max( |a|,|b| ) ,
            where EPS is the machine precision.  If abstol is less than
            or equal to zero, then  EPS*|T|  will be used in its place,
            where |T| is the 1-norm of the tridiagonal matrix obtained
            by reducing A to tridiagonal form.
            Eigenvalues will be computed most accurately when abstol is
            set to twice the underflow threshold 2*lamch(1), not zero.
            If this routine returns with info>0, indicating that some
            eigenvectors did not converge, try setting abstol to
            2* lamch(1).
    m:      The total number of eigenvalues found.  0 <= m <= N.
            If range = 0, m = N, and if range = 2, m = iu-il+1.
    w:      On normal exit, the first m elements contain the selected
            eigenvalues in ascending order.
    Z:      If jobz = 0, then Z is not referenced.
            If jobz = 1, then if info = 0, the first m columns of Z
            contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A
            corresponding to the selected eigenvalues, with the i-th
            column of Z holding the eigenvector associated with w(i).
            The eigenvectors are normalized as follows:
            if itype = 1 or 2, Z'*B*Z = I;
            if itype = 3, Z'*inv(B)*Z = I.
            If an eigenvector fails to converge, then that column of Z
            contains the latest approximation to the eigenvector, and the
            index of the eigenvector is returned in ifail.
            Note: the user must ensure that at least max(1,m) columns are
            supplied in the array Z; if range = 1, the exact value of m
            is not known in advance and an upper bound must be used.
    ifail:  If jobz = 1, then if info = 0, the first M elements of
            ifail are zero.  If info > 0, then ifail contains the
            indices of the eigenvectors that failed to converge.
            If jobz = 0, then ifail is not referenced.
    info:   = 0:  successful exit
            < 0:  if info = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
            > 0:  potrf or syevx returned an error code:
               <= N:  if info = i, syevx failed to converge;
                      i eigenvectors failed to converge.  Their indices
                      are stored in array ifail.
               > N:   if info = N + i, for 1 <= i <= N, then the leading
                      minor of order i of B is not positive definite.
                      The factorization of B could not be completed and

gesv

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(n,n);  [io,phys]B(n,m); int [o,phys]ipiv(n); int [o,phys]info())

Computes the solution to a real system of linear equations

        A * X = B,
        where A is an N-by-N matrix and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.

The LU decomposition with partial pivoting and row interchanges is used to factor A as

        A = P * L * U,
        where P is a permutation matrix, L is unit lower triangular, and U is
        upper triangular.

The factored form of A is then used to solve the system of equations A * X = B.

    Arguments
    =========
    A:      On entry, the N-by-N coefficient matrix A.
            On exit, the factors L and U from the factorization
            A = P*L*U; the unit diagonal elements of L are not stored.
    ipiv:   The pivot indices that define the permutation matrix P;
            row i of the matrix was interchanged with row ipiv(i).
    B:      On entry, the N-by-NRHS matrix of right hand side matrix B.
            On exit, if info = 0, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.
    info:   = 0:  successful exit
            < 0:  if info = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
            > 0:  if info = i, U(i,i) is exactly zero.  The factorization
                  has been completed, but the factor U is exactly
                  singular, so the solution could not be computed.

gesv ignores the bad-value flag of the input piddles. It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.

gesvx

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(n,n); int trans(); int fact(); [io,phys]B(n,m); [io,phys]af(n,n); int [io,phys]ipiv(n); int [io]equed(); [io,phys]r(n); [io,phys]c(n); [o,phys]X(n,m); [o,phys]rcond(); [o,phys]ferr(m); [o,phys]berr(m);[o,phys]rpvgrw();int [o,phys]info())

Uses the LU factorization to compute the solution to a real system of linear equations

        A * X = B,
        where A is an N-by-N matrix and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.

Error bounds on the solution and a condition estimate are also provided.

The following steps are performed:

1.
If fact = 2, real scaling factors are computed to equilibrate the system:

        trans = 0:  diag(r)*A*diag(c)     *inv(diag(c))*X = diag(c)*B
        trans = 1: (diag(r)*A*diag(c))' *inv(diag(r))*X = diag(c)*B
        trans = 2: (diag(r)*A*diag(c))**H *inv(diag(r))*X = diag(c)*B

Whether or not the system will be equilibrated depends on the scaling of the matrix A, but if equilibration is used, A is overwritten by diag(r)*A*diag(c) and B by diag(r)*B (if trans=0) or diag(c)*B (if trans = 1 or 2).

2.
If fact = 1 or 2, the LU decomposition is used to factor the matrix A (after equilibration if fact = 2) as

        A = P * L * U,
        where P is a permutation matrix, L is a unit lower triangular
        matrix, and U is upper triangular.
3.
If some U(i,i)=0, so that U is exactly singular, then the routine returns with info = i. Otherwise, the factored form of A is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix A. If the reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision, info = N+1 is returned as a warning, but the routine still goes on to solve for X and compute error bounds as described below.
4.
The system of equations is solved for X using the factored form of A.
5.
Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.
6.
If equilibration was used, the matrix X is premultiplied by diag(c) (if trans = 0) or diag(r) (if trans = 1 or 2) so that it solves the original system before equilibration.

    Arguments
    =========
    fact:   Specifies whether or not the factored form of the matrix A is
            supplied on entry, and if not, whether the matrix A should be
            equilibrated before it is factored.
            = 0:  On entry, af and ipiv contain the factored form of A.
                    If equed is not 0, the matrix A has been
                    equilibrated with scaling factors given by r and c.
                    A, af, and ipiv are not modified.
            = 1:  The matrix A will be copied to af and factored.
            = 2:  The matrix A will be equilibrated if necessary, then
                    copied to af and factored.
    trans:  Specifies the form of the system of equations:
            = 0:  A * X = B     (No transpose)
            = 1:  A' * X = B  (Transpose)
            = 2:  A**H * X = B  (Transpose)
    A:      On entry, the N-by-N matrix A.  If fact = 0 and equed is
            not 0, then A must have been equilibrated by the scaling
            factors in r and/or c.  A is not modified if fact = 0 or
            1, or if fact = 2 and equed = 0 on exit.
            On exit, if equed != 0, A is scaled as follows:
            equed = 1:  A := diag(r) * A
            equed = 2:  A := A * diag(c)
            equed = 3:  A := diag(r) * A * diag(c).
    af:     If fact = 0, then af is an input argument and on entry
            contains the factors L and U from the factorization
            A = P*L*U as computed by getrf.  If equed != 0, then
            af is the factored form of the equilibrated matrix A.
            If fact = 1, then af is an output argument and on exit
            returns the factors L and U from the factorization A = P*L*U
            of the original matrix A.
            If fact = 2, then af is an output argument and on exit
            returns the factors L and U from the factorization A = P*L*U
            of the equilibrated matrix A (see the description of A for
            the form of the equilibrated matrix).
    ipiv:   If fact = 0, then ipiv is an input argument and on entry
            contains the pivot indices from the factorization A = P*L*U
            as computed by getrf; row i of the matrix was interchanged
            with row ipiv(i).
            If fact = 1, then ipiv is an output argument and on exit
            contains the pivot indices from the factorization A = P*L*U
            of the original matrix A.
            If fact = 2, then ipiv is an output argument and on exit
            contains the pivot indices from the factorization A = P*L*U
            of the equilibrated matrix A.
    equed:  Specifies the form of equilibration that was done.
            = 0:  No equilibration (always true if fact = 1).
            = 1:  Row equilibration, i.e., A has been premultiplied by
                    diag(r).
            = 2:  Column equilibration, i.e., A has been postmultiplied
                    by diag(c).
            = 3:  Both row and column equilibration, i.e., A has been
                    replaced by diag(r) * A * diag(c).
            equed is an input argument if fact = 0; otherwise, it is an
            output argument.
    r:      The row scale factors for A.  If equed = 1 or 3, A is
            multiplied on the left by diag(r); if equed = 0 or 2, r
            is not accessed.  r is an input argument if fact = 0;
            otherwise, r is an output argument.  If fact = 0 and
            equed = 1 or 3, each element of r must be positive.
    c:      The column scale factors for A.  If equed = 2 or 3, A is
            multiplied on the right by diag(c); if equed = 0 or 1, c
            is not accessed.  c is an input argument if fact = 0;
            otherwise, c is an output argument.  If fact = 0 and
            equed = 2 or 3, each element of c must be positive.
    B:      On entry, the N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B.
            On exit,
            if equed = 0, B is not modified;
            if trans = 0 and equed = 1 or 3, B is overwritten by
            diag(r)*B;
            if trans = 1 or 2 and equed = 2 or 3, B is
            overwritten by diag(c)*B.
    X:      If info = 0 or info = N+1, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X
            to the original system of equations.  Note that A and B are
            modified on exit if equed != 0, and the solution to the
            equilibrated system is inv(diag(c))*X if trans = 0 and
            equed = 2 or 3, or inv(diag(r))*X if trans = 1 or 2
            and equed = 1 or 3.
    rcond:  The estimate of the reciprocal condition number of the matrix
            A after equilibration (if done).  If rcond is less than the
            machine precision (in particular, if rcond = 0), the matrix
            is singular to working precision.  This condition is
            indicated by a return code of info > 0.
    ferr:   The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector
            X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).
            If XTRUE is the true solution corresponding to X(j), ferr(j)
            is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest
            element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the
            largest element in X(j).  The estimate is as reliable as
            the estimate for rcond, and is almost always a slight
            overestimate of the true error.
    berr:   The componentwise relative backward error of each solution
            vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in
            any element of A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).
    rpvgrw: Contains the reciprocal pivot growth factor norm(A)/norm(U).
            The "max absolute element" norm is used. If it is much less 
            than 1, then the stability of the LU factorization of the 
            (equilibrated) matrix A could be poor. This also means that 
            the solution X, condition estimator rcond, and forward error
            bound ferr could be unreliable. If factorization fails with
            0<info<=N, then it contains the reciprocal pivot growth factor
            for the leading info columns of A.
    info:   = 0:  successful exit

            > 0:  if info = i, and i is
                  <= N:  U(i,i) is exactly zero.  The factorization has
                         been completed, but the factor U is exactly
                         singular, so the solution and error bounds
                         could not be computed. rcond = 0 is returned.
                  = N+1: U is nonsingular, but rcond is less than machine
                         precision, meaning that the matrix is singular
                         to working precision.  Nevertheless, the
                         solution and error bounds are computed because
                         there are a number of situations where the
                         computed solution can be more accurate than the
                         value of rcond would suggest.

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(n,n);  int uplo(); [io,phys]B(n,m); int [o,phys]ipiv(n); int [o,phys]info())

Computes the solution to a real system of linear equations

        A * X = B,
        where A is an N-by-N symmetric matrix and X and B are N-by-NRHS
        matrices.

The diagonal pivoting method is used to factor A as

        A = U * D * U',  if uplo = 0, or
        A = L * D * L',  if uplo = 1,
        where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)
        triangular matrices, and D is symmetric and block diagonal with
        1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks.

The factored form of A is then used to solve the system of equations A * X = B.

            triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower
            triangular part of A is not referenced.  If uplo = 1, the
            leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains the lower
            triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper

    ipiv:   Details of the interchanges and the block structure of D, as
            determined by sytrf.  If ipiv(k) > 0, then rows and columns
            k and ipiv(k) were interchanged, and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1
            diagonal block.  If uplo = 0 and ipiv(k) = ipiv(k-1) < 0,
            then rows and columns k-1 and -ipiv(k) were interchanged and
            D(k-1:k,k-1:k) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.  If uplo = 1 and
            ipiv(k) = ipiv(k+1) < 0, then rows and columns k+1 and

            diagonal block.

    info:   = 0: successful exit
            < 0: if info = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
            > 0: if info = i, D(i,i) is exactly zero.  The factorization
                 has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is

Uses the diagonal pivoting factorization to compute the solution to a real system of linear equations A * X = B, where A is an N-by-N symmetric matrix and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.

Error bounds on the solution and a condition estimate are also provided.

The following steps are performed:

1.
If fact = 0, the diagonal pivoting method is used to factor A. The form of the factorization is

        A = U * D * U',  if uplo = 0, or
        A = L * D * L',  if uplo = 1,
        where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)
        triangular matrices, and D is symmetric and block diagonal with
        1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks.
2.
If some D(i,i)=0, so that D is exactly singular, then the routine returns with info = i. Otherwise, the factored form of A is used
       to estimate the condition number of the matrix A.  If the
       reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision,
       info = N+1 is returned as a warning, but the routine still goes on
       to solve for X and compute error bounds as described below.
3.
The system of equations is solved for X using the factored form of A.
4.
Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.

    Arguments
    =========
    fact:   Specifies whether or not the factored form of A has been
            supplied on entry.
            = 0:  The matrix A will be copied to af and factored.
            = 1:  On entry, af and ipiv contain the factored form of
                    A.  af and ipiv will not be modified.
    uplo:   = 0:  Upper triangle of A is stored;
            = 1:  Lower triangle of A is stored.
    A:      The symmetric matrix A.  If uplo = 0, the leading N-by-N
            upper triangular part of A contains the upper triangular part
            of the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of A
            is not referenced.  If uplo = 1, the leading N-by-N lower
            triangular part of A contains the lower triangular part of
            the matrix A, and the strictly upper triangular part of A is
            not referenced.
    af:     If fact = 1, then af is an input argument and on entry
            contains the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used
            to obtain the factor U or L from the factorization
            A = U*D*U' or A = L*D*L' as computed by sytrf.
            If fact = 0, then af is an output argument and on exit
            returns the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used
            to obtain the factor U or L from the factorization
            A = U*D*U' or A = L*D*L'.
    ipiv:   If fact = 1, then ipiv is an input argument and on entry
            contains details of the interchanges and the block structure
            of D, as determined by sytrf.
            If ipiv(k) > 0, then rows and columns k and ipiv(k) were
            interchanged and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal block.
            If uplo = 0 and ipiv(k) = ipiv(k-1) < 0, then rows and
            columns k-1 and -ipiv(k) were interchanged and D(k-1:k,k-1:k)
            is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.  If uplo = 1 and ipiv(k) =
            ipiv(k+1) < 0, then rows and columns k+1 and -ipiv(k) were
            interchanged and D(k:k+1,k:k+1) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.
            If fact = 0, then ipiv is an output argument and on exit
            contains details of the interchanges and the block structure
            of D, as determined by sytrf.

    X:      If info = 0 or info = N+1, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.
    rcond:  The estimate of the reciprocal condition number of the matrix
            A.  If rcond is less than the machine precision (in
            particular, if rcond = 0), the matrix is singular to working
            precision.  This condition is indicated by a return code of
            info > 0.
    ferr:   The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector
            X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).
            If XTRUE is the true solution corresponding to X(j), ferr(j)
            is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest
            element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the
            largest element in X(j).  The estimate is as reliable as
            the estimate for rcond, and is almost always a slight
            overestimate of the true error.
    berr:   The componentwise relative backward error of each solution
            vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in
            any element of A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).
    info:   = 0: successful exit
            < 0: if info = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
            > 0: if info = i, and i is
                  <= N:  D(i,i) is exactly zero.  The factorization
                         has been completed but the factor D is exactly
                         singular, so the solution and error bounds could
                         not be computed. rcond = 0 is returned.
                  = N+1: D is nonsingular, but rcond is less than machine
                         precision, meaning that the matrix is singular
                         to working precision.  Nevertheless, the
                         solution and error bounds are computed because
                         there are a number of situations where the
                         computed solution can be more accurate than the
                         value of rcond would suggest.

The Cholesky decomposition is used to factor A as

        A = U'* U,  if uplo = 0, or
        A = L * L',  if uplo = 1,
        where U is an upper triangular matrix and L is a lower triangular
        matrix.

The factored form of A is then used to solve the system of equations A * X = B.

            leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains the lower

            > 0:  if info = i, the leading minor of order i of A is not
                  positive definite, so the factorization could not be

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(n,n); int uplo(); int fact(); [io,phys]B(n,m); [io,phys]af(n,n); int [io]equed(); [io,phys]s(n); [o,phys]X(n,m); [o,phys]rcond(); [o,phys]ferr(m); [o,phys]berr(m); int [o,phys]info())

Uses the Cholesky factorization A = U'*U or A = L*L' to compute the solution to a real system of linear equations

        A * X = B,
        where A is an N-by-N symmetric positive definite matrix and X and B
        are N-by-NRHS matrices.

Error bounds on the solution and a condition estimate are also provided.

The following steps are performed:

1.
If fact = 2, real scaling factors are computed to equilibrate the system:

        diag(s) * A * diag(s) * inv(diag(s)) * X = diag(s) * B

Whether or not the system will be equilibrated depends on the scaling of the matrix A, but if equilibration is used, A is overwritten by diag(s)*A*diag(s) and B by diag(s)*B.

2.
If fact = 1 or 2, the Cholesky decomposition is used to factor the matrix A (after equilibration if fact = 2) as

        A = U'* U,  if uplo = 0, or
        A = L * L',  if uplo = 1,
        where U is an upper triangular matrix and L is a lower triangular
        matrix.
3.
If the leading i-by-i principal minor is not positive definite, then the routine returns with info = i. Otherwise, the factored form of A is used to estimate the condition number of the matrix A. If the reciprocal of the condition number is less than machine precision, info = N+1 is returned as a warning, but the routine still goes on to solve for X and compute error bounds as described below.
4.
The system of equations is solved for X using the factored form of A.
5.
Iterative refinement is applied to improve the computed solution matrix and calculate error bounds and backward error estimates for it.
6.
If equilibration was used, the matrix X is premultiplied by diag(s) so that it solves the original system before equilibration.

    Arguments
    =========
    fact:   Specifies whether or not the factored form of the matrix A is
            supplied on entry, and if not, whether the matrix A should be
            equilibrated before it is factored.
            = 0:  On entry, af contains the factored form of A.
                    If equed = 1, the matrix A has been equilibrated
                    with scaling factors given by s.  A and af will not
                    be modified.
            = 1:  The matrix A will be copied to af and factored.
            = 2:  The matrix A will be equilibrated if necessary, then
                    copied to af and factored.
    uplo:   = 0:  Upper triangle of A is stored;
            = 1:  Lower triangle of A is stored.
    A:      On entry, the symmetric matrix A, except if fact = 0 and
            equed = 1, then A must contain the equilibrated matrix
            diag(s)*A*diag(s).  If uplo = 0, the leading
            N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the upper
            triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower
            triangular part of A is not referenced.  If uplo = 1, the
            leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains the lower
            triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper
            triangular part of A is not referenced.  A is not modified if
            fact = 0 or 1, or if fact = 2 and equed = 0 on exit.
            On exit, if fact = 2 and equed = 1, A is overwritten by
            diag(s)*A*diag(s).
    af:     If fact = 0, then af is an input argument and on entry
            contains the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky
            factorization A = U'*U or A = L*L', in the same storage
            format as A.  If equed != 0, then af is the factored form
            of the equilibrated matrix diag(s)*A*diag(s).
            If fact = 1, then af is an output argument and on exit

            If fact = 2, then af is an output argument and on exit
            returns the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky
            factorization A = U'*U or A = L*L' of the equilibrated
            matrix A (see the description of A for the form of the
            equilibrated matrix).
    equed:  Specifies the form of equilibration that was done.
            = 0:  No equilibration (always true if fact = 1).
            = 1:  Equilibration was done, i.e., A has been replaced by
                    diag(s) * A * diag(s).
            equed is an input argument if fact = 0; otherwise, it is an
            output argument.
    s:      The scale factors for A; not accessed if equed = 0.  s is
            an input argument if fact = 0; otherwise, s is an output
            argument.  If fact = 0 and equed = 1, each element of s
            must be positive.
    B:      On entry, the N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B.
            On exit, if equed = 0, B is not modified; if equed = 1,
            B is overwritten by diag(s) * B.
    X:      If info = 0 or info = N+1, the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X to
            the original system of equations.  Note that if equed = 1,
            A and B are modified on exit, and the solution to the
            equilibrated system is inv(diag(s))*X.
    rcond:  The estimate of the reciprocal condition number of the matrix
            A after equilibration (if done).  If rcond is less than the
            machine precision (in particular, if rcond = 0), the matrix
            is singular to working precision.  This condition is
            indicated by a return code of info > 0.
    ferr:   The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector
            X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).
            If XTRUE is the true solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j)
            is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest
            element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the
            largest element in X(j).  The estimate is as reliable as
            the estimate for rcond, and is almost always a slight
            overestimate of the true error.
    berr:   The componentwise relative backward error of each solution
            vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in
            any element of A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).

                         not positive definite, so the factorization
                         could not be completed, and the solution has not

                         solution and error bounds are computed because
                         there are a number of situations where the

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(m,n); [io,phys]B(p,q); [phys]rcond(); int [io,phys]jpvt(n); int [o,phys]rank();int [o,phys]info())

Computes the minimum-norm solution to a real linear least squares problem:

        minimize || A * X - B ||

using a complete orthogonal factorization of A.

A is an M-by-N matrix which may be rank-deficient.

Several right hand side vectors b and solution vectors x can be handled in a single call; they are stored as the columns of the M-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B and the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.

The routine first computes a QR factorization with column pivoting:

        A * P = Q * [ R11 R12 ]
                    [  0  R22 ]
        with R11 defined as the largest leading submatrix whose estimated
        condition number is less than 1/rcond.  The order of R11, rank,
        is the effective rank of A.

Then, R22 is considered to be negligible, and R12 is annihilated by orthogonal transformations from the right, arriving at the complete orthogonal factorization:

        A * P = Q * [ T11 0 ] * Z
                    [  0  0 ]

The minimum-norm solution is then

        X = P * Z' [ inv(T11)*Q1'*B ]
                   [         0      ]

    jpvt:   On entry, if jpvt(i) != 0, the i-th column of A is permuted
            to the front of AP, otherwise column i is a free column.

            is defined as the order of the largest leading triangular
            submatrix R11 in the QR factorization with pivoting of A,
            whose estimated condition number < 1/rcond.
    rank:   The effective rank of A, i.e., the order of the submatrix
            R11.  This is the same as the order of the submatrix T11
            in the complete orthogonal factorization of A.

gelsd

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(m,n); [io,phys]B(p,q); [phys]rcond(); [o,phys]s(r); int [o,phys]rank();int [o,phys]info())

Computes the minimum-norm solution to a real linear least squares problem:

        minimize 2-norm(| b - A*x |)

using the singular value decomposition (SVD) of A. A is an M-by-N matrix which may be rank-deficient.

Several right hand side vectors b and solution vectors x can be handled in a single call; they are stored as the columns of the M-by-NRHS right hand side matrix B and the N-by-NRHS solution matrix X.

The problem is solved in three steps:

1.
Reduce the coefficient matrix A to bidiagonal form with Householder transformations, reducing the original problem into a ``bidiagonal least squares problem'' (BLS)
2.
Solve the BLS using a divide and conquer approach.
3.
Apply back all the Householder transformationss to solve the original least squares problem.

The effective rank of A is determined by treating as zero those singular values which are less than rcond times the largest singular value.

The divide and conquer algorithm makes very mild assumptions about floating point arithmetic. It will work on machines with a guard digit in add/subtract, or on those binary machines without guard digits which subtract like the Cray X-MP, Cray Y-MP, Cray C-90, or Cray-2. It could conceivably fail on hexadecimal or decimal machines without guard digits, but we know of none.

        where A is an M-by-N matrix, B is a P-by-N matrix, c is a given

latrs

  Signature: ([phys]A(n,n); int uplo(); int trans(); int diag(); int normin();[io,phys]x(n); [o,phys]scale();[io,phys]cnorm(n);int [o,phys]info())

Solves one of the triangular systems

        A *x = s*b  or  A'*x = s*b

with scaling to prevent overflow. Here A is an upper or lower triangular matrix, A' denotes the transpose of A, x and b are n-element vectors, and s is a scaling factor, usually less than or equal to 1, chosen so that the components of x will be less than the overflow threshold. If the unscaled problem will not cause overflow, the Level 2 BLAS routine "trsv" is called. If the matrix A is singular (A(j,j) = 0 for some j), then s is set to 0 and a non-trivial solution to A*x = 0 is returned.

Further Details ======= =======

A rough bound on x is computed; if that is less than overflow, trsv is called, otherwise, specific code is used which checks for possible overflow or divide-by-zero at every operation.

A columnwise scheme is used for solving A*x = b. The basic algorithm if A is lower triangular is

         x[1:n] := b[1:n]   
         for j = 1, ..., n   
              x(j) := x(j) / A(j,j)   
              x[j+1:n] := x[j+1:n] - x(j) * A[j+1:n,j]   
         end

Define bounds on the components of x after j iterations of the loop:

       M(j) = bound on x[1:j]   
       G(j) = bound on x[j+1:n]

Initially, let M(0) = 0 and G(0) = max{x(i), i=1,...,n}.

    Then for iteration j+1 we have   
       M(j+1) <= G(j) / | A(j+1,j+1) |   
       G(j+1) <= G(j) + M(j+1) * | A[j+2:n,j+1] |   
              <= G(j) ( 1 + cnorm(j+1) / | A(j+1,j+1) | )   
    where cnorm(j+1) is greater than or equal to the infinity-norm of   
    column j+1 of A, not counting the diagonal.

Hence

       G(j) <= G(0) product ( 1 + cnorm(i) / | A(i,i) | )   
                    1<=i<=j   
    and   
       |x(j)| <= ( G(0) / |A(j,j)| ) product ( 1 + cnorm(i) / |A(i,i)| )   
                                     1<=i< j

Since |x(j)| <= M(j), we use the Level 2 BLAS routine DTRSV if the reciprocal of the largest M(j), j=1,..,n, is larger than max(underflow, 1/overflow).

The bound on x(j) is also used to determine when a step in the columnwise method can be performed without fear of overflow. If the computed bound is greater than a large constant, x is scaled to prevent overflow, but if the bound overflows, x is set to 0, x(j) to 1, and scale to 0, and a non-trivial solution to A*x = 0 is found.

Similarly, a row-wise scheme is used to solve A'*x = b. The basic algorithm for A upper triangular is

         for j = 1, ..., n   
              x(j) := ( b(j) - A[1:j-1,j]' * x[1:j-1] ) / A(j,j)   
         end

We simultaneously compute two bounds

         G(j) = bound on ( b(i) - A[1:i-1,i]' * x[1:i-1] ), 1<=i<=j   
         M(j) = bound on x(i), 1<=i<=j

The initial values are G(0) = 0, M(0) = max{b(i), i=1,..,n}, and we add the constraint G(j) >= G(j-1) and M(j) >= M(j-1) for j >= 1. Then the bound on x(j) is

         M(j) <= M(j-1) * ( 1 + cnorm(j) ) / | A(j,j) |   
              <= M(0) * product ( ( 1 + cnorm(i) ) / |A(i,i)| )   
                        1<=i<=j

and we can safely call trsv if 1/M(n) and 1/G(n) are both greater than max(underflow, 1/overflow).

tzrzf

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(m,n); [o,phys]tau(k); int [o,phys]info())

Reduces the M-by-N ( M <= N ) real upper trapezoidal matrix A to upper triangular form by means of orthogonal transformations.

The upper trapezoidal matrix A is factored as

        A = ( R  0 ) * Z,   
        
        where Z is an N-by-N orthogonal matrix and R is an M-by-M upper   
        triangular matrix.

The factorization is obtained by Householder's method. The kth transformation matrix, Z( k ), which is used to introduce zeros into the ( m - k + 1 )th row of A, is given in the form

       Z( k ) = ( I     0   ),   
                ( 0  T( k ) )   
    where   
       T( k ) = I - tau*u( k )*u( k )',   u( k ) = (   1    ),   
                                                    (   0    )   
                                                    ( z( k ) )

tau is a scalar and z( k ) is an ( n - m ) element vector. tau and z( k ) are chosen to annihilate the elements of the kth row of X.

The scalar tau is returned in the kth element of "tau" and the vector u( k ) in the kth row of A, such that the elements of z( k ) are in a( k, m + 1 ), ..., a( k, n ). The elements of R are returned in the upper triangular part of A.

Further Details ===============

The matrix Q is represented as a product of (ihi-ilo) elementary reflectors

        Q = H(ilo) H(ilo+1) . . . H(ihi-1).

Each H(i) has the form

        H(i) = I - tau * v * v'   
        where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with   
        v(1:i) = 0, v(i+1) = 1 and v(ihi+1:n) = 0; v(i+2:ihi) is stored on   
        exit in A(i+2:ihi,i), and tau in tau(i).

The contents of A are illustrated by the following example, with n = 7, ilo = 2 and ihi = 6:

        modified element of the upper Hessenberg matrix H, and vi denotes an   
        element of the vector defining H(i).

    ilo:   
    ihi:    It is assumed that A is already upper triangular in rows   
            and columns 1:ilo-1 and ihi+1:N. ilo and ihi are normally

    A:      On entry, the N-by-N general matrix to be reduced.   
            On exit, the upper triangle and the first subdiagonal of A   
            are overwritten with the upper Hessenberg matrix H, and the   
            elements below the first subdiagonal, with the array tau,   
            represent the orthogonal matrix Q as a product of elementary   
            reflectors. See Further Details.   
    tau:    The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors (see Further   
            Details). Elements 1:ilo-1 and ihi:N-1 of tau are set to

        Q = H(ilo) H(ilo+1) . . . H(ihi-1).   
    Arguments   
    =========   
    ilo:
    ihi:   ilo and ihi must have the same values as in the previous call   
            of gehrd. Q is equal to the unit matrix except in the

hseqr

  Signature: ([io,phys]H(n,n); int job();int compz();int [phys]ilo();int [phys]ihi();[o,phys]wr(n); [o,phys]wi(n);[o,phys]Z(m,m); int [o,phys]info())

Computes the eigenvalues of a real upper Hessenberg matrix H and, optionally, the matrices T and Z from the Schur decomposition H = Z T Z**T, where T is an upper quasi-triangular matrix (the Schur form), and Z is the orthogonal matrix of Schur vectors.

Optionally Z may be postmultiplied into an input orthogonal matrix Q, so that this routine can give the Schur factorization of a matrix A which has been reduced to the Hessenberg form H by the orthogonal matrix Q: A = Q*H*Q**T = (QZ)*T*(QZ)**T.

    Arguments   
    =========   
    job:    = 0:  compute eigenvalues only;   
            = 1:  compute eigenvalues and the Schur form T.   
    compz:  = 0:  no Schur vectors are computed;   
            = 1:  Z is initialized to the unit matrix and the matrix Z   
                    of Schur vectors of H is returned;   
            = 2:  Z must contain an orthogonal matrix Q on entry, and   
                    the product Q*Z is returned.   
    ilo:
    ihi:    It is assumed that H is already upper triangular in rows   
            and columns 1:ilo-1 and ihi+1:N. ilo and ihi are normally   
            set by a previous call to gebal, and then passed to gehrd   
            when the matrix output by gebal is reduced to Hessenberg   
            form. Otherwise ilo and ihi should be set to 1 and N   
            respectively.   
            1 <= ilo <= ihi <= N, if N > 0; ilo=1 and ihi=0, if N=0.   
    H:      On entry, the upper Hessenberg matrix H.   
            On exit, if job = 1, H contains the upper quasi-triangular   
            matrix T from the Schur decomposition (the Schur form);   
            2-by-2 diagonal blocks (corresponding to complex conjugate   
            pairs of eigenvalues) are returned in standard form, with   
            H(i,i) = H(i+1,i+1) and H(i+1,i)*H(i,i+1) < 0. If job = 0,   
            the contents of H are unspecified on exit.   
    wr:
    wi:     The real and imaginary parts, respectively, of the computed   
            eigenvalues. If two eigenvalues are computed as a complex   
            conjugate pair, they are stored in consecutive elements of   
            wr and wi, say the i-th and (i+1)th, with wi(i) > 0 and   
            wi(i+1) < 0. If job = 1, the eigenvalues are stored in the   
            same order as on the diagonal of the Schur form returned in   
            H, with wr(i) = H(i,i) and, if H(i:i+1,i:i+1) is a 2-by-2   
            diagonal block, wi(i) = sqrt(H(i+1,i)*H(i,i+1)) and   
            wi(i+1) = -wi(i).   
    Z:      If compz = 0: Z is not referenced.   
            If compz = 1: on entry, Z need not be set, and on exit, Z   
            contains the orthogonal matrix Z of the Schur vectors of H.   
            If compz = 2: on entry Z must contain an N-by-N matrix Q,   
            which is assumed to be equal to the unit matrix except for   
            the submatrix Z(ilo:ihi,ilo:ihi); on exit Z contains Q*Z.   
            Normally Q is the orthogonal matrix generated by orghr after   
            the call to gehrd which formed the Hessenberg matrix H.   
    info:   = 0:  successful exit   
            < 0:  if info = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value   
            > 0:  if info = i, hseqr failed to compute all of the   
                  eigenvalues in a total of 30*(ihi-ilo+1) iterations;   
                  elements 1:ilo-1 and i+1:n of wr and wi contain those   
                  eigenvalues which have been successfully computed.

Computes some or all of the right and/or left eigenvectors of a real upper quasi-triangular matrix T.

The right eigenvector x and the left eigenvector y of T corresponding to an eigenvalue w are defined by:

        T*x = w*x,     y'*T = w*y'
        where y' denotes the conjugate transpose of the vector y.

If all eigenvectors are requested, the routine may either return the matrices X and/or Y of right or left eigenvectors of T, or the products Q*X and/or Q*Y, where Q is an input orthogonal matrix. If T was obtained from the real-Schur factorization of an original matrix A = Q*T*Q', then Q*X and Q*Y are the matrices of right or left eigenvectors of A.

T must be in Schur canonical form (as returned by hseqr), that is, block upper triangular with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks; each 2-by-2 diagonal block has its diagonal elements equal and its off-diagonal elements of opposite sign. Corresponding to each 2-by-2 diagonal block is a complex conjugate pair of eigenvalues and eigenvectors; only one eigenvector of the pair is computed, namely the one corresponding to the eigenvalue with positive imaginary part.

Further Details ===============

The algorithm used in this program is basically backward (forward) substitution, with scaling to make the the code robust against possible overflow.

Each eigenvector is normalized so that the element of largest magnitude has magnitude 1; here the magnitude of a complex number (x,y) is taken to be |x| + |y|.

    Arguments
    =========
    side:   = 0 :  compute both right and left eigenvectors;
            = 1 :  compute right eigenvectors only;

                    specified by the logical array select.
    select: If howmny = 2, select specifies the eigenvectors to be   
            computed.   
            If howmny = 0 or 1, select is not referenced.   
            To select the real eigenvector corresponding to a real   
            eigenvalue w(j), select(j) must be set to TRUE.  To select   
            the complex eigenvector corresponding to a complex conjugate   
            pair w(j) and w(j+1), either select(j) or select(j+1) must be   
            set to TRUE; then on exit select(j) is TRUE and
            select(j+1) is FALSE.
    T:      The upper quasi-triangular matrix T in Schur canonical form.
    VL:     On entry, if side = 2 or 0 and howmny = 1, VL must
            contain an N-by-N matrix Q (usually the orthogonal matrix Q
            of Schur vectors returned by hseqr).
            On exit, if side = 2 or 0, VL contains:
            if howmny = 0, the matrix Y of left eigenvectors of T;
                             VL has the same quasi-lower triangular form
                             as T'. If T(i,i) is a real eigenvalue, then
                             the i-th column VL(i) of VL  is its
                             corresponding eigenvector. If T(i:i+1,i:i+1)

                             complex-conjugate eigenvalues of T, then
                             VL(i)+sqrt(-1)*VL(i+1) is the complex
                             eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue

                             of VL, in the same order as their
                             eigenvalues.
            A complex eigenvector corresponding to a complex eigenvalue
            is stored in two consecutive columns, the first holding the
            real part, and the second the imaginary part.
            If side = 1, VL is not referenced.
    VR:     On entry, if side = 1 or 0 and howmny = 1, VR must
            contain an N-by-N matrix Q (usually the orthogonal matrix Q
            of Schur vectors returned by hseqr).

                             as T. If T(i,i) is a real eigenvalue, then
                             the i-th column VR(i) of VR  is its
                             corresponding eigenvector. If T(i:i+1,i:i+1)
                             is a 2-by-2 block whose eigenvalues are
                             complex-conjugate eigenvalues of T, then
                             VR(i)+sqrt(-1)*VR(i+1) is the complex

Computes some or all of the right and/or left generalized eigenvectors of a pair of real upper triangular matrices (A,B).

The right generalized eigenvector x and the left generalized eigenvector y of (A,B) corresponding to a generalized eigenvalue w are defined by:

        (A - wB) * x = 0  and  y**H * (A - wB) = 0

If an eigenvalue w is determined by zero diagonal elements of both A and B, a unit vector is returned as the corresponding eigenvector.

If all eigenvectors are requested, the routine may either return the matrices X and/or Y of right or left eigenvectors of (A,B), or the products Z*X and/or Q*Y, where Z and Q are input orthogonal matrices. If (A,B) was obtained from the generalized real-Schur factorization of an original pair of matrices

    M:      The number of columns in the arrays VL and/or VR actually
            used to store the eigenvectors.  If howmny = 0 or 1, M
            is set to N.  Each selected real eigenvector occupies one
            column and each selected complex eigenvector occupies two
            columns.

gebal

  Signature: ([io,phys]A(n,n); int job(); int [o,phys]ilo();int [o,phys]ihi();[o,phys]scale(n); int [o,phys]info())

Balances a general real matrix A. This involves, first, permuting A by a similarity transformation to isolate eigenvalues in the first 1 to ilo-1 and last ihi+1 to N elements on the diagonal; and second, applying a diagonal similarity transformation to rows and columns ilo to ihi to make the rows and columns as close in norm as possible. Both steps are optional.

Balancing may reduce the 1-norm of the matrix, and improve the accuracy of the computed eigenvalues and/or eigenvectors.

Further Details ===============

The permutations consist of row and column interchanges which put the matrix in the form

               ( T1   X   Y  )   
       P A P = (  0   B   Z  )   
               (  0   0   T2 )   
       where T1 and T2 are upper triangular matrices whose eigenvalues lie   
       along the diagonal.  The column indices ilo and ihi mark the starting   
       and ending columns of the submatrix B. Balancing consists of applying   
       a diagonal similarity transformation inv(D) * B * D to make the   
       1-norms of each row of B and its corresponding column nearly equal.

The output matrix is

       ( T1     X*D          Y    )   
       (  0  inv(D)*B*D  inv(D)*Z ).   
       (  0      0           T2   )

Information about the permutations P and the diagonal matrix D is returned in the vector "scale".

labad

  Signature: ([io,phys]small(); [io,phys]large())

Takes as input the values computed by "lamch" for underflow and overflow, and returns the square root of each of these values if the log of large is sufficiently large. This subroutine is intended to identify machines with a large exponent range, such as the Crays, and redefine the underflow and overflow limits to be the square roots of the values computed by "lamch". This subroutine is needed because lamch does not compensate for poor arithmetic in the upper half of the exponent range, as is found on a Cray.

    Arguments
    =========
    small:  On entry, the underflow threshold as computed by lamch.
            On exit, if LOG10(large) is sufficiently large, the square
            root of small, otherwise unchanged.
    large:  On entry, the overflow threshold as computed by lamch.
            On exit, if LOG10(large) is sufficiently large, the square
            root of large, otherwise unchanged.
