void	f07afc (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, const double a[], Integer pda, double r[], double c[], double rowcnd, double colcnd, double amax, NagError fail)

The function may be called by the names: f07afc, nag_lapacklin_dgeequ or nag_dgeequ.

3 Description

f07afc computes the diagonal scaling matrices. The diagonal scaling matrices are chosen to try to make the elements of largest absolute value in each row and column of the matrix

B

given by

B = D_{R} A D_{C}

have absolute value

1

. The diagonal elements of

D_{R}

and

D_{C}

are restricted to lie in the safe range

(δ, 1 / δ)

, where

δ

is the value returned by function X02AMC. Use of these scaling factors is not guaranteed to reduce the condition number of

A

but works well in practice.

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderType Input

On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by

order = Nag_RowMajor

. See Section 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $m$ – Integer Input

On entry:

m

, the number of rows of the matrix

A

Constraint:

m \geq 0

3: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the number of columns of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: $a [\dim]$ – const double Input

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least

$\max (1, pda \times n)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$\max (1, m \times pda)$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

A

is stored in

$a [(j - 1) \times pda + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$a [(i - 1) \times pda + j - 1]$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

On entry: the matrix

A

whose scaling factors are to be computed.

5: $pda$ – Integer Input

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.

Constraints:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $pda \geq \max (1, m)$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $pda \geq \max (1, n)$ .

6: $r [m]$ – double Output

On exit: if

fail . code =

NE_NOERROR or

fail . code =

NE_MAT_COL_ZERO, r contains the row scale factors, the diagonal elements of

D_{R}

. The elements of r will be positive.

7: $c [n]$ – double Output

On exit: if

fail . code =

NE_NOERROR, c contains the column scale factors, the diagonal elements of

D_{C}

. The elements of c will be positive.

8: $rowcnd$ – double * Output

On exit: if

fail . code =

NE_NOERROR or

fail . code =

NE_MAT_COL_ZERO, rowcnd contains the ratio of the smallest value of

r [i - 1]

to the largest value of

r [i - 1]

. If

rowcnd \geq 0.1

and amax is neither too large nor too small, it is not worth scaling by

D_{R}

9: $colcnd$ – double * Output

On exit: if

fail . code =

NE_NOERROR, colcnd contains the ratio of the smallest value of

c [i - 1]

to the largest value of

c [i - 1]

colcnd \geq 0.1

, it is not worth scaling by

D_{C}

10: $amax$ – double * Output

On exit:

\max | a_{i j} |

. If amax is very close to overflow or underflow, the matrix

A

should be scaled.

11: $fail$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).
