SGGBAL

SGGBAL  

Purpose:

 SGGBAL balances a pair of general real matrices (A,B).  This
 involves, first, permuting A and B by similarity transformations to
 isolate eigenvalues in the first 1 to ILO$-$1 and last IHI+1 to N
 elements on the diagonal; and second, applying a diagonal similarity
 transformation to rows and columns ILO to IHI to make the rows
 and columns as close in norm as possible. Both steps are optional.

 Balancing may reduce the 1-norm of the matrices, and improve the
 accuracy of the computed eigenvalues and/or eigenvectors in the
 generalized eigenvalue problem A*x = lambda*B*x.

Parameters

JOB

          JOB is CHARACTER*1
          Specifies the operations to be performed on A and B:
          = 'N':  none:  simply set ILO = 1, IHI = N, LSCALE(I) = 1.0
                  and RSCALE(I) = 1.0 for i = 1,...,N.
          = 'P':  permute only;
          = 'S':  scale only;
          = 'B':  both permute and scale.

N

          N is INTEGER
          The order of the matrices A and B.  N >= 0.

A

          A is REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
          On entry, the input matrix A.
          On exit,  A is overwritten by the balanced matrix.
          If JOB = 'N', A is not referenced.

LDA

          LDA is INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N).

B

          B is REAL array, dimension (LDB,N)
          On entry, the input matrix B.
          On exit,  B is overwritten by the balanced matrix.
          If JOB = 'N', B is not referenced.

LDB

          LDB is INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,N).

ILO

          ILO is INTEGER

IHI

          IHI is INTEGER
          ILO and IHI are set to integers such that on exit
          A(i,j) = 0 and B(i,j) = 0 if i > j and
          j = 1,...,ILO-1 or i = IHI+1,...,N.
          If JOB = 'N' or 'S', ILO = 1 and IHI = N.

LSCALE

          LSCALE is REAL array, dimension (N)
          Details of the permutations and scaling factors applied
          to the left side of A and B.  If P(j) is the index of the
          row interchanged with row j, and D(j)
          is the scaling factor applied to row j, then
            LSCALE(j) = P(j)    for J = 1,...,ILO-1
                      = D(j)    for J = ILO,...,IHI
                      = P(j)    for J = IHI+1,...,N.
          The order in which the interchanges are made is N to IHI+1,
          then 1 to ILO-1.

RSCALE

          RSCALE is REAL array, dimension (N)
          Details of the permutations and scaling factors applied
          to the right side of A and B.  If P(j) is the index of the
          column interchanged with column j, and D(j)
          is the scaling factor applied to column j, then
            LSCALE(j) = P(j)    for J = 1,...,ILO-1
                      = D(j)    for J = ILO,...,IHI
                      = P(j)    for J = IHI+1,...,N.
          The order in which the interchanges are made is N to IHI+1,
          then 1 to ILO-1.

WORK

          WORK is REAL array, dimension (lwork)
          lwork must be at least max(1,6*N) when JOB = 'S' or 'B', and
          at least 1 when JOB = 'N' or 'P'.

INFO

          INFO is INTEGER
          = 0:  successful exit
          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
