SLAED6
February 2007
Purpose
SLAED6 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. the root is between d(2) and d(3);
otherwise it is between d(1) and d(2)
This routine will be called by SLAED4 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 SLAED4 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 SLAED4 for further details. |
| RHO |
(input) REAL
Refer to the equation f(x) above.
|
| D |
(input) REAL array, dimension (3)
D satisfies d(1) < d(2) < d(3).
|
| Z |
(input) REAL array, dimension (3)
Each of the elements in z must be positive.
|
| FINIT |
(input) REAL
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) REAL
The root of the equation f(x).
|
| INFO |
(output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
> 0: if INFO = 1, failure to converge |

(machine parameters are computed on each entry). SJH.

Gragg-Thornton-Warner cubic convergent scheme for better stability.
