DLAE2  computes the eigenvalues of a 2-by-2 symmetric matrix


    [  A   B  ]


    [  B   C  ].


 On return, RT1 is the eigenvalue of larger absolute value, and RT2


 is the eigenvalue of smaller absolute value.

A

          A is DOUBLE PRECISION


          The (1,1) element of the 2-by-2 matrix.

B

          B is DOUBLE PRECISION


          The (1,2) and (2,1) elements of the 2-by-2 matrix.

C

          C is DOUBLE PRECISION


          The (2,2) element of the 2-by-2 matrix.

RT1

          RT1 is DOUBLE PRECISION


          The eigenvalue of larger absolute value.

RT2

          RT2 is DOUBLE PRECISION


          The eigenvalue of smaller absolute value.

  RT1 is accurate to a few ulps barring over/underflow.


  RT2 may be inaccurate if there is massive cancellation in the


  determinant A*C-B*B; higher precision or correctly rounded or


  correctly truncated arithmetic would be needed to compute RT2


  accurately in all cases.


  Overflow is possible only if RT1 is within a factor of 5 of overflow.


  Underflow is harmless if the input data is 0 or exceeds


     underflow_threshold / macheps.
