SLALSD(3S)SLALSD(3S)NAMESLALSD - use the singular value decomposition of A to solve the least
squares problem of finding X to minimize the Euclidean norm of each
column of A*X-B, where A is N-by-N upper bidiagonal, and X and B are N-
by-NRHS

IMPLEMENTATION
These routines are part of the SCSL Scientific Library and can be loaded
using either the -lscs or the -lscs_mp option. The -lscs_mp option
directs the linker to use the multi-processor version of the library.
When linking to SCSL with -lscs or -lscs_mp, the default integer size is
4 bytes (32 bits). Another version of SCSL is available in which integers
are 8 bytes (64 bits). This version allows the user access to larger
memory sizes and helps when porting legacy Cray codes. It can be loaded
by using the -lscs_i8 option or the -lscs_i8_mp option. A program may use
only one of the two versions; 4-byte integer and 8-byte integer library
calls cannot be mixed.
PURPOSESLALSD uses the singular value decomposition of A to solve the least
squares problem of finding X to minimize the Euclidean norm of each
column of A*X-B, where A is N-by-N upper bidiagonal, and X and B are N-
by-NRHS. The solution X overwrites B. The singular values of A smaller
than RCOND times the largest singular value are treated as zero in
solving the least squares problem; in this case a minimum norm solution
is returned. The actual singular values are returned in D in ascending
order.
This code makes very mild assumptions about floating point arithmetic. It
will work on machines with a guard digit in add/subtract, or on those
binary machines without guard digits which subtract like the Cray XMP,
Cray YMP, Cray C 90, or Cray 2. It could conceivably fail on hexadecimal
or decimal machines without guard digits, but we know of none.

SLALSD(3S)SLALSD(3S)ARGUMENTS
UPLO (input) CHARACTER*1
= 'U': D and E define an upper bidiagonal matrix.
= 'L': D and E define a lower bidiagonal matrix.
SMLSIZ (input) INTEGER The maximum size of the subproblems at the
bottom of the computation tree.
N (input) INTEGER
The dimension of the bidiagonal matrix. N >= 0.
NRHS (input) INTEGER
The number of columns of B. NRHS must be at least 1.
D (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N)
On entry D contains the main diagonal of the bidiagonal matrix. On
exit, if INFO = 0, D contains its singular values.
E (input) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
Contains the super-diagonal entries of the bidiagonal matrix. On
exit, E has been destroyed.
B (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
On input, B contains the right hand sides of the least squares
problem. On output, B contains the solution X.
LDB (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of B in the calling subprogram. LDB must be
at least max(1,N).
RCOND (input) REAL
The singular values of A less than or equal to RCOND times the
largest singular value are treated as zero in solving the least
squares problem. If RCOND is negative, machine precision is used
instead. For example, if diag(S)*X=B were the least squares
problem, where diag(S) is a diagonal matrix of singular values,
the solution would be X(i) = B(i) / S(i) if S(i) is greater than
RCOND*max(S), and X(i) = 0 if S(i) is less than or equal to
RCOND*max(S).
RANK (output) INTEGER
The number of singular values of A greater than RCOND times the
largest singular value.
WORK (workspace) REAL array, dimension at least
(9*N + 2*N*SMLSIZ + 8*N*NLVL + N*NRHS + (SMLSIZ+1)**2), where NLVL
= max(0, INT(log_2 (N/(SMLSIZ+1))) + 1).
IWORK (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension at least
(3*N*NLVL + 11*N)

INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit.
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
> 0: The algorithm failed to compute an singular value while
working on the submatrix lying in rows and columns INFO/(N+1)
through MOD(INFO,N+1).
