SLATMT generates random matrices with specified singular values


    (or symmetric/hermitian with specified eigenvalues)


    for testing LAPACK programs.


    SLATMT operates by applying the following sequence of


    operations:


      Set the diagonal to D, where D may be input or


         computed according to MODE, COND, DMAX, and SYM


         as described below.


      Generate a matrix with the appropriate band structure, by one


         of two methods:


      Method A:


          Generate a dense M x N matrix by multiplying D on the left


              and the right by random unitary matrices, then:


          Reduce the bandwidth according to KL and KU, using


          Householder transformations.


      Method B:


          Convert the bandwidth-0 (i.e., diagonal) matrix to a


              bandwidth-1 matrix using Givens rotations, 'chasing'


              out-of-band elements back, much as in QR; then


              convert the bandwidth-1 to a bandwidth-2 matrix, etc.


              Note that for reasonably small bandwidths (relative to


              M and N) this requires less storage, as a dense matrix


              is not generated.  Also, for symmetric matrices, only


              one triangle is generated.


      Method A is chosen if the bandwidth is a large fraction of the


          order of the matrix, and LDA is at least M (so a dense


          matrix can be stored.)  Method B is chosen if the bandwidth


          is small (< 1/2 N for symmetric, < .3 N+M for


          non-symmetric), or LDA is less than M and not less than the


          bandwidth.


      Pack the matrix if desired. Options specified by PACK are:


         no packing


         zero out upper half (if symmetric)


         zero out lower half (if symmetric)


         store the upper half columnwise (if symmetric or upper


               triangular)


         store the lower half columnwise (if symmetric or lower


               triangular)


         store the lower triangle in banded format (if symmetric


               or lower triangular)


         store the upper triangle in banded format (if symmetric


               or upper triangular)


         store the entire matrix in banded format


      If Method B is chosen, and band format is specified, then the


         matrix will be generated in the band format, so no repacking


         will be necessary.

M

          M is INTEGER


           The number of rows of A. Not modified.

N

          N is INTEGER


           The number of columns of A. Not modified.

DIST

          DIST is CHARACTER*1


           On entry, DIST specifies the type of distribution to be used


           to generate the random eigen-/singular values.


           'U' => UNIFORM( 0, 1 )  ( 'U' for uniform )


           'S' => UNIFORM( -1, 1 ) ( 'S' for symmetric )


           'N' => NORMAL( 0, 1 )   ( 'N' for normal )


           Not modified.

ISEED

          ISEED is INTEGER array, dimension ( 4 )


           On entry ISEED specifies the seed of the random number


           generator. They should lie between 0 and 4095 inclusive,


           and ISEED(4) should be odd. The random number generator


           uses a linear congruential sequence limited to small


           integers, and so should produce machine independent


           random numbers. The values of ISEED are changed on


           exit, and can be used in the next call to SLATMT


           to continue the same random number sequence.


           Changed on exit.

SYM

          SYM is CHARACTER*1


           If SYM='S' or 'H', the generated matrix is symmetric, with


             eigenvalues specified by D, COND, MODE, and DMAX; they


             may be positive, negative, or zero.


           If SYM='P', the generated matrix is symmetric, with


             eigenvalues (= singular values) specified by D, COND,


             MODE, and DMAX; they will not be negative.


           If SYM='N', the generated matrix is nonsymmetric, with


             singular values specified by D, COND, MODE, and DMAX;


             they will not be negative.


           Not modified.

D

          D is REAL array, dimension ( MIN( M , N ) )


           This array is used to specify the singular values or


           eigenvalues of A (see SYM, above.)  If MODE=0, then D is


           assumed to contain the singular/eigenvalues, otherwise


           they will be computed according to MODE, COND, and DMAX,


           and placed in D.


           Modified if MODE is nonzero.

MODE

          MODE is INTEGER


           On entry this describes how the singular/eigenvalues are to


           be specified:


           MODE = 0 means use D as input


           MODE = 1 sets D(1)=1 and D(2:RANK)=1.0/COND


           MODE = 2 sets D(1:RANK-1)=1 and D(RANK)=1.0/COND


           MODE = 3 sets D(I)=COND**(-(I-1)/(RANK-1))


           MODE = 4 sets D(i)=1 - (i-1)/(N-1)*(1 - 1/COND)


           MODE = 5 sets D to random numbers in the range


                    ( 1/COND , 1 ) such that their logarithms


                    are uniformly distributed.


           MODE = 6 set D to random numbers from same distribution


                    as the rest of the matrix.


           MODE < 0 has the same meaning as ABS(MODE), except that


              the order of the elements of D is reversed.


           Thus if MODE is positive, D has entries ranging from


              1 to 1/COND, if negative, from 1/COND to 1,


           If SYM='S' or 'H', and MODE is neither 0, 6, nor -6, then


              the elements of D will also be multiplied by a random


              sign (i.e., +1 or -1.)


           Not modified.

COND

          COND is REAL


           On entry, this is used as described under MODE above.


           If used, it must be >= 1. Not modified.

DMAX

          DMAX is REAL


           If MODE is neither -6, 0 nor 6, the contents of D, as


           computed according to MODE and COND, will be scaled by


           DMAX / max(abs(D(i))); thus, the maximum absolute eigen- or


           singular value (which is to say the norm) will be abs(DMAX).


           Note that DMAX need not be positive: if DMAX is negative


           (or zero), D will be scaled by a negative number (or zero).


           Not modified.

RANK

          RANK is INTEGER


           The rank of matrix to be generated for modes 1,2,3 only.


           D( RANK+1:N ) = 0.


           Not modified.

KL

          KL is INTEGER


           This specifies the lower bandwidth of the  matrix. For


           example, KL=0 implies upper triangular, KL=1 implies upper


           Hessenberg, and KL being at least M-1 means that the matrix


           has full lower bandwidth.  KL must equal KU if the matrix


           is symmetric.


           Not modified.

KU

          KU is INTEGER


           This specifies the upper bandwidth of the  matrix. For


           example, KU=0 implies lower triangular, KU=1 implies lower


           Hessenberg, and KU being at least N-1 means that the matrix


           has full upper bandwidth.  KL must equal KU if the matrix


           is symmetric.


           Not modified.

PACK

          PACK is CHARACTER*1


           This specifies packing of matrix as follows:


           'N' => no packing


           'U' => zero out all subdiagonal entries (if symmetric)


           'L' => zero out all superdiagonal entries (if symmetric)


           'C' => store the upper triangle columnwise


                  (only if the matrix is symmetric or upper triangular)


           'R' => store the lower triangle columnwise


                  (only if the matrix is symmetric or lower triangular)


           'B' => store the lower triangle in band storage scheme


                  (only if matrix symmetric or lower triangular)


           'Q' => store the upper triangle in band storage scheme


                  (only if matrix symmetric or upper triangular)


           'Z' => store the entire matrix in band storage scheme


                      (pivoting can be provided for by using this


                      option to store A in the trailing rows of


                      the allocated storage)


           Using these options, the various LAPACK packed and banded


           storage schemes can be obtained:


           GB               - use 'Z'


           PB, SB or TB     - use 'B' or 'Q'


           PP, SP or TP     - use 'C' or 'R'


           If two calls to SLATMT differ only in the PACK parameter,


           they will generate mathematically equivalent matrices.


           Not modified.

A

          A is REAL array, dimension ( LDA, N )


           On exit A is the desired test matrix.  A is first generated


           in full (unpacked) form, and then packed, if so specified


           by PACK.  Thus, the first M elements of the first N


           columns will always be modified.  If PACK specifies a


           packed or banded storage scheme, all LDA elements of the


           first N columns will be modified; the elements of the


           array which do not correspond to elements of the generated


           matrix are set to zero.


           Modified.

LDA

          LDA is INTEGER


           LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared in the


           calling program.  If PACK='N', 'U', 'L', 'C', or 'R', then


           LDA must be at least M.  If PACK='B' or 'Q', then LDA must


           be at least MIN( KL, M-1) (which is equal to MIN(KU,N-1)).


           If PACK='Z', LDA must be large enough to hold the packed


           array: MIN( KU, N-1) + MIN( KL, M-1) + 1.


           Not modified.

WORK

          WORK is REAL array, dimension ( 3*MAX( N , M ) )


           Workspace.


           Modified.

INFO

          INFO is INTEGER


           Error code.  On exit, INFO will be set to one of the


           following values:


             0 => normal return


            -1 => M negative or unequal to N and SYM='S', 'H', or 'P'


            -2 => N negative


            -3 => DIST illegal string


            -5 => SYM illegal string


            -7 => MODE not in range -6 to 6


            -8 => COND less than 1.0, and MODE neither -6, 0 nor 6


           -10 => KL negative


           -11 => KU negative, or SYM='S' or 'H' and KU not equal to KL


           -12 => PACK illegal string, or PACK='U' or 'L', and SYM='N';


                  or PACK='C' or 'Q' and SYM='N' and KL is not zero;


                  or PACK='R' or 'B' and SYM='N' and KU is not zero;


                  or PACK='U', 'L', 'C', 'R', 'B', or 'Q', and M is not


                  N.


           -14 => LDA is less than M, or PACK='Z' and LDA is less than


                  MIN(KU,N-1) + MIN(KL,M-1) + 1.


            1  => Error return from SLATM7


            2  => Cannot scale to DMAX (max. sing. value is 0)


            3  => Error return from SLAGGE or SLAGSY
