Dear All,

I have a 16x16 sparse matrix which its values are big. Unfortunately IDL return wrong value for matrix inverse. Therefore when I run command (print,invert(A)##A) the returned is not an identity matrix. I check the singularity of matrix and this inversion retuned correctly by other softwares like MATLAB or MATHEMATICA or even FORTRAN.
What is happening?


EXAMPLE:

A = [ [7.3339770e12, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.3339770e12, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] , $

Scale your matrix, use double precision and LAPACK, eg:

m=double(max(abs(a)))
inverse=la_invert(a/m)/m

You want to specify your matrix as double precision and then you will get the expected answer. It is *not* enough to use the /DOUBLE keyword to INVERT(). See, for example,
