Description
The routine computes row and column scalings intended to equilibrate a symmetric (Hermitian) positive-definite matrix A and reduce its condition number (with respect to the two-norm).
These factors are chosen so that the scaled matrix B with elements Bi,j=s[i-1]*Ai,j*s[j-1] has diagonal elements equal to 1. s[i - 1] is a power of two nearest to, but not exceeding 1/sqrt(Ai,i).
This choice of s puts the condition number of B within a factor n of the smallest possible condition number over all possible diagonal scalings.
Input Parameters
matrix_layout  |  
      Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).  |  
     
n  |  
      The order of the matrix A; n≥ 0.  |  
     
a  |  
      Array: size max(1, lda*n) . Contains the n-by-n symmetric or Hermitian positive definite matrix A whose scaling factors are to be computed. Only the diagonal elements of A are referenced.  |  
     
lda  |  
      The leading dimension of a; lda≥ max(1, m).  |  
     
Output Parameters
s  |  
      Array, size (n). If info = 0, the array s contains the scale factors for A.  |  
     
scond  |  
      If info = 0, scond contains the ratio of the smallest s[i] to the largest s[i]. If scond≥ 0.1, and amax is neither too large nor too small, it is not worth scaling by s.  |  
     
amax  |  
      Absolute value of the largest element of the matrix A. If amax is very close to SMLNUM or BIGNUM, the matrix should be scaled.  |  
     
Return Values
This function returns a value info.
If info = 0, the execution is successful.
If info = -i, parameter i had an illegal value.
If info = i, the i-th diagonal element of A is nonpositive.
