type norm2 = [ `O | `I ]
(** Type of 1-norm ([`O]) and infinity norm ([`I]) *)

type norm4 = [ norm2 | `M | `F ]
(** Type of 1-norm ([`O]), infinity norm ([`I]) and the Frobenius norm ([`F]).
    [`M] is the maximum of the absolute values (not a true matrix norm). *)

type svd_job = [ `A | `S | `O | `N ]
(** SVD computation flags *)

exception InternalError of string
(** [InternalError msg] gets raised when BLAS or LAPACK exhibit undefined
    behaviour. *)

type int_vec = (int32, int32_elt, fortran_layout) Array1.t
(** Type of 32bit Fortran integer vectors. *)

val create_int_vec : int -> int_vec
(** [create_int_vec n] @return an int-vector with [n] rows. *)

val mat_of_vec : ('a, 'b, 'c) Array1.t -> ('a, 'b, 'c) Array2.t
(** [mat_of_vec a] converts the vector [a] into a matrix with
    [Array1.dim a] rows and 1 column.  The data is shared between the
    two matrices.  *)
