SLACN2 estimates the 1-norm of a square, real matrix A.


 Reverse communication is used for evaluating matrix-vector products.

N

          N is INTEGER


         The order of the matrix.  N >= 1.

V

          V is REAL array, dimension (N)


         On the final return, V = A*W,  where  EST = norm(V)/norm(W)


         (W is not returned).

X

          X is REAL array, dimension (N)


         On an intermediate return, X should be overwritten by


               A * X,   if KASE=1,


               A**T * X,  if KASE=2,


         and SLACN2 must be re-called with all the other parameters


         unchanged.

ISGN

          ISGN is INTEGER array, dimension (N)

EST

          EST is REAL


         On entry with KASE = 1 or 2 and ISAVE(1) = 3, EST should be


         unchanged from the previous call to SLACN2.


         On exit, EST is an estimate (a lower bound) for norm(A).

KASE

          KASE is INTEGER


         On the initial call to SLACN2, 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**T * X.


         On the final return from SLACN2, KASE will again be 0.

ISAVE

          ISAVE is INTEGER array, dimension (3)


         ISAVE is used to save variables between calls to SLACN2

  Originally named SONEST, dated March 16, 1988.


  This is a thread safe version of SLACON, which uses the array ISAVE


  in place of a SAVE statement, as follows:


     SLACON     SLACN2


      JUMP     ISAVE(1)


      J        ISAVE(2)


      ITER     ISAVE(3)
