1  Purpose

F07FFF (DPOEQU) computes a diagonal scaling matrix S  intended to equilibrate a real n  by n  symmetric positive definite matrix A  and reduce its condition number.

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F07FFF ( N, A, LDA, S, SCOND, AMAX, INFO)
INTEGER  N, LDA, INFO
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  A(LDA,*), S(N), SCOND, AMAX
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name dpoequ.

3  Description

F07FFF (DPOEQU) 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:     ALDA* – REAL (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 F07FFF (DPOEQU) is called.
Constraint: LDAmax1,N.
4:     SN – 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

INFO<0
If INFO=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
INFO>0
The valueth 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  Parallelism and Performance

Not applicable.

9  Further Comments

The complex analogue of this routine is F07FTF (ZPOEQU).

10  Example

This example equilibrates the symmetric positive definite matrix A  given by
A = -4.16 -3.12×105 -0.56 -0.10 -3.12×105 -5.03×1010 -0.83×105 -1.18×105 -0.56 -0.83×105 -0.76 -0.34 -0.10 -1.18×105 -0.34 -1.18 .  
Details of the scaling factors and the scaled matrix are output.
