1  Purpose

F07FTF (ZPOEQU) computes a diagonal scaling matrix S  intended to equilibrate a complex n  by n  Hermitian positive definite matrix A  and reduce its condition number.

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F07FTF ( N, A, LDA, S, SCOND, AMAX, INFO)
INTEGER  N, LDA, INFO
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  S(N), SCOND, AMAX
COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)  A(LDA,*)
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name zpoequ.

3  Description

F07FTF (ZPOEQU) computes a diagonal scaling matrix S  chosen so that
sj=1 / ajj .
This means that the matrix B  given by
B=SAS ,
has diagonal elements equal to unity. This in turn means that the condition number of B , κ2B , is within a factor n  of the matrix of smallest possible condition number over all possible choices of diagonal scalings (see Corollary 7.6 of Higham (2002)).

5  Parameters

1:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: N0.
2:     A(LDA,*) – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the second dimension of the array A must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the matrix A whose scaling factors are to be computed. Only the diagonal elements of the array A are referenced.
3:     LDA – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array A as declared in the (sub)program from which F07FTF (ZPOEQU) is called.
Constraint: LDAmax1,N.
4:     S(N) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: if INFO=0, S contains the diagonal elements of the scaling matrix S.
5:     SCOND – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Output
On exit: if INFO=0, SCOND contains the ratio of the smallest value of S to the largest value of S. If SCOND0.1 and AMAX is neither too large nor too small, it is not worth scaling by S.
6:     AMAX – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Output
On exit: maxaij. If AMAX is very close to overflow or underflow, the matrix A should be scaled.
7:     INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit: INFO=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
INFO<0
If INFO=-i, the ith argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
INFO>0
If INFO=i, the ith diagonal element of A is not positive (and hence A cannot be positive definite).

7  Accuracy

The computed scale factors will be close to the exact scale factors.

8  Further Comments

The real analogue of this routine is F07FFF (DPOEQU).

9  Example

This example equilibrates the Hermitian positive definite matrix A  given by
A = (3.23 -(1.51-1.92i 1.90+0.84i×1050 -0.42+2.50i (1.51+1.92i -(3.58 -0.23+1.11i×1050 -1.18+1.37i 1.90-0.84i×105 -0.23-1.11i×105 -4.09×1010 (2.33-0.14i×105 (0.42-2.50i (-1.18-1.37i 2.33+0.14i×1050 -4.29 .
Details of the scaling factors and the scaled matrix are output.
