PURPOSE

23       DGESDD computes the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a real M-by-N
24       matrix A, optionally computing the left and right singular vectors.  If
25       singular vectors are desired, it uses a divide-and-conquer algorithm.
26       The SVD is written
27            A = U * SIGMA * transpose(V)
28       where SIGMA is an M-by-N matrix which is zero except for  its  min(m,n)
29       diagonal elements, U is an M-by-M orthogonal matrix, and V is an N-by-N
30       orthogonal matrix.  The diagonal elements of  SIGMA  are  the  singular
31       values  of  A;  they  are  real  and  non-negative, and are returned in
32       descending order.  The first min(m,n) columns of U and V are  the  left
33       and right singular vectors of A.
34       Note that the routine returns VT = V**T, not V.
35       The  divide  and  conquer  algorithm  makes very mild assumptions about
36       floating point arithmetic. It will work on machines with a guard  digit
37       in add/subtract, or on those binary machines without guard digits which
38       subtract like the Cray X-MP, Cray Y-MP, Cray C-90, or Cray-2. It  could
39       conceivably  fail on hexadecimal or decimal machines without guard dig‐
40       its, but we know of none.

ARGUMENTS

43       JOBZ    (input) CHARACTER*1
44               Specifies options for computing all or part of the matrix U:
45               = 'A':  all M columns of U and all N rows of V**T are  returned
46               in the arrays U and VT; = 'S':  the first min(M,N) columns of U
47               and the first min(M,N) rows of V**T are returned in the  arrays
48               U and VT; = 'O':  If M >= N, the first N columns of U are over‐
49               written on the array A and all rows of V**T are returned in the
50               array VT; otherwise, all columns of U are returned in the array
51               U and the first M rows of V**T are overwritten in the array  A;
52               = 'N':  no columns of U or rows of V**T are computed.
53
54       M       (input) INTEGER
55               The number of rows of the input matrix A.  M >= 0.

60       A       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)

63               vectors,  stored  columnwise)  if M >= N; A is overwritten with
64               the first M rows of V**T (the right  singular  vectors,  stored
65               rowwise)  otherwise.   if  JOBZ .ne. 'O', the contents of A are
66               destroyed.
67
68       LDA     (input) INTEGER
69               The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,M).

71       S       (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (min(M,N))
72               The singular values of A, sorted so that S(i) >= S(i+1).
73
74       U       (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDU,UCOL)
75               UCOL = M if JOBZ = 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M < N; UCOL = min(M,N)
76               if  JOBZ  = 'S'.  If JOBZ = 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M < N, U con‐
77               tains the M-by-M orthogonal matrix U; if JOBZ = 'S', U contains
78               the  first  min(M,N)  columns  of U (the left singular vectors,
79               stored columnwise); if JOBZ = 'O' and M >= N, or JOBZ = 'N',  U
80               is not referenced.
81
82       LDU     (input) INTEGER
83               The  leading dimension of the array U.  LDU >= 1; if JOBZ = 'S'
84               or 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M < N, LDU >= M.
85
86       VT      (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDVT,N)
87               If JOBZ = 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M >= N, VT contains the  N-by-N
88               orthogonal  matrix  V**T;  if JOBZ = 'S', VT contains the first
89               min(M,N) rows of V**T (the right singular vectors, stored  row‐
90               wise); if JOBZ = 'O' and M < N, or JOBZ = 'N', VT is not refer‐
91               enced.
92
93       LDVT    (input) INTEGER
94               The leading dimension of the array VT.  LDVT >= 1;  if  JOBZ  =
95               'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M >= N, LDVT >= N; if JOBZ = 'S', LDVT >=
96               min(M,N).
97
98       WORK      (workspace/output)   DOUBLE   PRECISION   array,    dimension
99       (MAX(1,LWORK))
100               On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK;
101
102       LWORK   (input) INTEGER
103               The  dimension  of  the array WORK. LWORK >= 1.  If JOBZ = 'N',
104               LWORK >= 3*min(M,N) + max(max(M,N),7*min(M,N)).  If JOBZ = 'O',
105               LWORK            >=            3*min(M,N)*min(M,N)            +
106               max(max(M,N),5*min(M,N)*min(M,N)+4*min(M,N)).  If JOBZ = 'S' or
107               'A'         LWORK        >=        3*min(M,N)*min(M,N)        +
108               max(max(M,N),4*min(M,N)*min(M,N)+4*min(M,N)).  For good perfor‐
109               mance,  LWORK  should  generally  be larger.  If LWORK = -1 but
110               other input arguments are legal, WORK(1)  returns  the  optimal
111               LWORK.
112
113       IWORK   (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (8*min(M,N))
114
115       INFO    (output) INTEGER
116               = 0:  successful exit.
117               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
118               > 0:  DBDSDC did not converge, updating process failed.
