NAME

6       SLACON - estimates the 1-norm of a square, real matrix A
7

SYNOPSIS

9       SUBROUTINE SLACON( N, V, X, ISGN, EST, KASE )
10
11           INTEGER        KASE, N
12
13           REAL           EST
14
15           INTEGER        ISGN( * )
16
17           REAL           V( * ), X( * )
18

PURPOSE

20       SLACON estimates the 1-norm of a square, real matrix A.  Reverse commu‐
21       nication is used for evaluating matrix-vector products.
22

ARGUMENTS

24       N      (input) INTEGER
25              The order of the matrix.  N >= 1.
26
27       V      (workspace) REAL array, dimension (N)
28              On the final return, V = A*W,  where  EST =  norm(V)/norm(W)  (W
29              is not returned).
30
31       X      (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N)
32              On  an  intermediate  return,  X should be overwritten by A * X,
33              if KASE=1, A' * X,  if KASE=2, and SLACON must be re-called with
34              all the other parameters unchanged.
35
36       ISGN   (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
37
38       EST    (input/output) REAL
39              On  entry  with  KASE  =  1  or  2  and  JUMP = 3, EST should be
40              unchanged from the previous call to SLACON.  On exit, EST is  an
41              estimate (a lower bound) for norm(A).
42
43       KASE   (input/output) INTEGER
44              On the initial call to SLACON, KASE should be 0.  On an interme‐
45              diate return, KASE will be 1 or 2, indicating whether  X  should
46              be  overwritten  by  A * X  or A' * X.  On the final return from
47              SLACON, KASE will again be 0.
