NAME

DLAED6 - computes the positive or negative root (closest to the origin) of z(1) z(2) z(3) f(x) = rho + --------- + ---------- + --------- d(1)-x d(2)-x d(3)-x It is assumed that if ORGATI = .true

SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE DLAED6(

KNITER, ORGATI, RHO, D, Z, FINIT, TAU, INFO )

LOGICAL ORGATI INTEGER INFO, KNITER DOUBLE PRECISION FINIT, RHO, TAU DOUBLE PRECISION D( 3 ), Z( 3 )

PURPOSE

DLAED6 computes the positive or negative root (closest to the origin) of
z(1) z(2) z(3) f(x) = rho + --------- + ---------- + ---------
d(1)-x d(2)-x d(3)-x
otherwise it is between d(1) and d(2)
This routine will be called by DLAED4 when necessary. In most cases, the root sought is the smallest in magnitude, though it might not be in some extremely rare situations.

ARGUMENTS

KNITER (input) INTEGER

Refer to DLAED4 for its significance.

ORGATI (input) LOGICAL

If ORGATI is true, the needed root is between d(2) and d(3); otherwise it is between d(1) and d(2). See DLAED4 for further details.

RHO (input) DOUBLE PRECISION

Refer to the equation f(x) above.

D (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (3)

D satisfies d(1) < d(2) < d(3).

Z (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (3)

Each of the elements in z must be positive.

FINIT (input) DOUBLE PRECISION

The value of f at 0. It is more accurate than the one evaluated inside this routine (if someone wants to do so).

TAU (output) DOUBLE PRECISION

The root of the equation f(x).

INFO (output) INTEGER

= 0: successful exit
> 0: if INFO = 1, failure to converge
