Purpose
SLACON estimates the 1-norm of a square matrix A.
Reverse communication is used for evaluating matrix-vector products.
Arguments
N (input) INT
The order of the matrix. N >= 1.
V (workspace) FLOAT PRECISION array, dimension (N)
On the final return, V = A*W, where EST = norm(V)/norm(W)
(W is not returned).
X (input/output) FLOAT PRECISION array, dimension (N)
On an intermediate return, X should be overwritten by
A * X, if KASE=1,
A' * X, if KASE=2,
and SLACON must be re-called with all the other parameters
unchanged.
ISGN (workspace) INT array, dimension (N)
EST (output) FLOAT PRECISION
An estimate (a lower bound) for norm(A).
KASE (input/output) INT
On the initial call to SLACON, KASE should be 0.
On an intermediate return, KASE will be 1 or 2, indicating
whether X should be overwritten by A * X or A' * X.
On the final return from SLACON, KASE will again be 0.
