**DBDSVDX**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!>  DBDSVDX computes the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a real
!>  N-by-N (upper or lower) bidiagonal matrix B, B = U * S * VT,
!>  where S is a diagonal matrix with non-negative diagonal elements
!>  (the singular values of B), and U and VT are orthogonal matrices
!>  of left and right singular vectors, respectively.
!>
!>  Given an upper bidiagonal B with diagonal D = [ d_1 d_2 ... d_N ]
!>  and superdiagonal E = [ e_1 e_2 ... e_N-1 ], DBDSVDX computes the
!>  singular value decomposition of B through the eigenvalues and
!>  eigenvectors of the N*2-by-N*2 tridiagonal matrix
!>
!>        |  0  d_1                |
!>        | d_1  0  e_1            |
!>  TGK = |     e_1  0  d_2        |
!>        |         d_2  .   .     |
!>        |              .   .   . |
!>
!>  If (s,u,v) is a singular triplet of B with ||u|| = ||v|| = 1, then
!>  (+/-s,q), ||q|| = 1, are eigenpairs of TGK, with q = P * ( u' +/-v' ) /
!>  sqrt(2) = ( v_1 u_1 v_2 u_2 ... v_n u_n ) / sqrt(2), and
!>  P = [ e_{n+1} e_{1} e_{n+2} e_{2} ... ].
!>
!>  Given a TGK matrix, one can either a) compute -s,-v and change signs
!>  so that the singular values (and corresponding vectors) are already in
!>  descending order (as in DGESVD/DGESDD) or b) compute s,v and reorder
!>  the values (and corresponding vectors). DBDSVDX implements a) by
!>  calling DSTEVX (bisection plus inverse iteration, to be replaced
!>  with a version of the Multiple Relative Robust Representation
!>  algorithm. (See P. Willems and B. Lang, A framework for the MR^3
!>  algorithm: theory and implementation, SIAM J. Sci. Comput.,
!>  35:740-766, 2013.)
