1  Purpose

nag_dgeequ (f07afc) computes diagonal scaling matrices DR  and DC  intended to equilibrate a real m  by n  matrix A  and reduce its condition number.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf07.h>
void  nag_dgeequ (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, const double a[], Integer pda, double r[], double c[], double *rowcnd, double *colcnd, double *amax, NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_dgeequ (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=DRADC
have absolute value 1. The diagonal elements of DR  and DC  are restricted to lie in the safe range δ,1/δ , where δ  is the value returned by function nag_real_safe_small_number (X02AMC). Use of these scaling factors is not guaranteed to reduce the condition number of A  but works well in practice.

5  Arguments

1:     orderNag_OrderTypeInput
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 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     mIntegerInput
On entry: m, the number of rows of the matrix A.
Constraint: m0.
3:     nIntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of columns of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
4:     a[dim]const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least
  • max1,pda×n when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max1,m×pda when order=Nag_RowMajor.
The i,jth element of the matrix A is stored in
  • a[j-1×pda+i-1] when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • a[i-1×pda+j-1] when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On entry: the matrix A whose scaling factors are to be computed.
5:     pdaIntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.
Constraints:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor, pdamax1,m;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor, pdamax1,n.
6:     r[m]doubleOutput
On exit: if fail.code= NE_NOERROR or fail.code= NE_MAT_COL_ZERO, r contains the row scale factors, the diagonal elements of DR. The elements of r will be positive.
7:     c[n]doubleOutput
On exit: if fail.code= NE_NOERROR, c contains the column scale factors, the diagonal elements of DC. The elements of c will be positive.
8:     rowcnddouble *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 rowcnd0.1 and amax is neither too large nor too small, it is not worth scaling by DR.
9:     colcnddouble *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].
If colcnd0.1, it is not worth scaling by DC.
10:   amaxdouble *Output
On exit: maxaij. If amax is very close to overflow or underflow, the matrix A should be scaled.
11:   failNagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
NE_INT
On entry, m=value.
Constraint: m0.
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
On entry, pda=value.
Constraint: pda>0.
NE_INT_2
On entry, pda=value and m=value.
Constraint: pdamax1,m.
On entry, pda=value and n=value.
Constraint: pdamax1,n.
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
NE_MAT_COL_ZERO
The value column of A is exactly zero.
NE_MAT_ROW_ZERO
The value row of A is exactly zero.

7  Accuracy

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

8  Parallelism and Performance

Not applicable.
