NAME

       SGESDD - compute the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a real M-by-N matrix A, optionally computing the left and right singular vectors

SYNOPSIS

       SUBROUTINE SGESDD( JOBZ, M, N, A, LDA, S, U, LDU, VT, LDVT, WORK, LWORK, IWORK, INFO )

	   CHARACTER	  JOBZ

	   INTEGER	  INFO, LDA, LDU, LDVT, LWORK, M, N

	   INTEGER	  IWORK( * )

	   REAL 	  A( LDA, * ), S( * ), U( LDU, * ), VT( LDVT, * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE

       SGESDD computes the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a real M-by-N matrix A, optionally computing the left and right singular vectors.
       If singular vectors are desired, it uses a divide-and-conquer algorithm.

       The SVD is written

	    A = U * SIGMA * transpose(V)

       where SIGMA is an M-by-N matrix which is zero except for its min(m,n) diagonal elements, U is an M-by-M orthogonal matrix, and V is  an	N-
       by-N  orthogonal  matrix.  The diagonal elements of SIGMA are the singular values of A; they are real and non-negative, and are returned in
       descending order.  The first min(m,n) columns of U and V are the left and right singular vectors of A.

       Note that the routine returns VT = V**T, not V.

       The divide and conquer algorithm 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 X-MP, Cray Y-MP, Cray C-90, or Cray-2. It
       could conceivably fail on hexadecimal or decimal machines without guard digits, but we know of none.

ARGUMENTS

       JOBZ    (input) CHARACTER*1
	       Specifies options for computing all or part of the matrix U:
	       = 'A':  all M columns of U and all N rows of V**T are returned in the arrays U and VT; = 'S':  the first min(M,N) columns of U  and
	       the first min(M,N) rows of V**T are returned in the arrays U and VT; = 'O':  If M >= N, the first N columns of U are overwritten on
	       the array A and all rows of V**T are returned in the array VT; otherwise, all columns of U are returned in  the	array  U  and  the
	       first M rows of V**T are overwritten in the array VT; = 'N':  no columns of U or rows of V**T are computed.

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

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

       A       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
	       On entry, the M-by-N matrix A.  On exit, if JOBZ = 'O',	A is overwritten with the first N columns of U (the left singular vectors,
	       stored columnwise) if M >= N; A is overwritten with the first M rows of V**T (the right singular vectors,  stored  rowwise)  other-
	       wise.  if JOBZ .ne. 'O', the contents of A are destroyed.

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

       S       (output) REAL array, dimension (min(M,N))
	       The singular values of A, sorted so that S(i) >= S(i+1).

       U       (output) REAL array, dimension (LDU,UCOL)
	       UCOL  =	M if JOBZ = 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M < N; UCOL = min(M,N) if JOBZ = 'S'.  If JOBZ = 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M < N, U contains
	       the M-by-M orthogonal matrix U; if JOBZ = 'S', U contains the first min(M,N) columns of U (the left singular vectors, stored colum-
	       nwise); if JOBZ = 'O' and M >= N, or JOBZ = 'N', U is not referenced.

       LDU     (input) INTEGER
	       The leading dimension of the array U.  LDU >= 1; if JOBZ = 'S' or 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M < N, LDU >= M.

       VT      (output) REAL array, dimension (LDVT,N)
	       If  JOBZ  =  'A'  or  JOBZ  =  'O'  and M >= N, VT contains the N-by-N orthogonal matrix V**T; if JOBZ = 'S', VT contains the first
	       min(M,N) rows of V**T (the right singular vectors, stored rowwise); if JOBZ = 'O' and M < N, or JOBZ = 'N', VT is not referenced.

       LDVT    (input) INTEGER
	       The leading dimension of the array VT.  LDVT >= 1; if JOBZ = 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M >= N, LDVT >=  N;  if  JOBZ  =  'S',  LDVT	>=
	       min(M,N).

       WORK    (workspace/output) REAL array, dimension (LWORK)
	       On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK;

       LWORK   (input) INTEGER
	       The  dimension of the array WORK. LWORK >= 1.  If JOBZ = 'N', LWORK >= 3*min(M,N) + max(max(M,N),6*min(M,N)).  If JOBZ = 'O', LWORK
	       >= 3*min(M,N)*min(M,N) + max(max(M,N),5*min(M,N)*min(M,N)+4*min(M,N)).  If JOBZ	=  'S'	or  'A'  LWORK	>=  3*min(M,N)*min(M,N)  +
	       max(max(M,N),4*min(M,N)*min(M,N)+4*min(M,N)).   For  good  performance,	LWORK  should generally be larger.  If LWORK < 0 but other
	       input arguments are legal, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.

       IWORK   (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (8*min(M,N))

       INFO    (output) INTEGER
	       = 0:  successful exit.
	       < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
	       > 0:  SBDSDC did not converge, updating process failed.
