NAME
     SGEEQU - compute row and column scalings intended to equilibrate an M-
     by-N matrix A and reduce its condition number

SYNOPSIS
     SUBROUTINE SGEEQU( M, N, A, LDA, R, C, ROWCND, COLCND, AMAX, INFO )

         INTEGER        INFO, LDA, M, N

         REAL           AMAX, COLCND, ROWCND

         REAL           A( LDA, * ), C( * ), R( * )

PURPOSE
     SGEEQU computes row and column scalings intended to equilibrate an M-by-N
     matrix A and reduce its condition number.  R returns the row scale
     factors and C the column scale factors, chosen to try to make the largest
     element in each row and column of the matrix B with elements
     B(i,j)=R(i)*A(i,j)*C(j) have absolute value 1.

     R(i) and C(j) are restricted to be between SMLNUM = smallest safe number
     and BIGNUM = largest safe number.  Use of these scaling factors is not
     guaranteed to reduce the condition number of A but works well in
     practice.


ARGUMENTS
     M       (input) INTEGER
             The number of rows of the matrix A.  M >= 0.

     N       (input) INTEGER
             The number of columns of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

     A       (input) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
             The M-by-N matrix whose equilibration factors are to be computed.

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

     R       (output) REAL array, dimension (M)
             If INFO = 0 or INFO > M, R contains the row scale factors for A.

     C       (output) REAL array, dimension (N)
             If INFO = 0,  C contains the column scale factors for A.

     ROWCND  (output) REAL
             If INFO = 0 or INFO > M, ROWCND contains the ratio of the
             smallest R(i) to the largest R(i).  If ROWCND >= 0.1 and AMAX is
             neither too large nor too small, it is not worth scaling by R.
     COLCND  (output) REAL
             If INFO = 0, COLCND contains the ratio of the smallest C(i) to
             the largest C(i).  If COLCND >= 0.1, it is not worth scaling by
             C.

     AMAX    (output) REAL
             Absolute value of largest matrix element.  If AMAX is very close
             to overflow or very close to underflow, the matrix should be
             scaled.

     INFO    (output) INTEGER
             = 0:  successful exit
             < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
             > 0:  if INFO = i,  and i is
             <= M:  the i-th row of A is exactly zero
             >  M:  the (i-M)-th column of A is exactly zero
