mpute_w : bool, optional
        Request a norm-maximizing linear operator output vector if True.

    Returns
    -------
    est : float
        An underestimate of the 1-norm of the sparse matrix.
    v : ndarray, optional
        The vector such that ||Av||_1 == est*||v||_1.
        It can be thought of as an input to the linear operator
        that gives an output with particularly large norm.
    w : ndarray, optional
        The vector Av which has relatively large 1-norm.
        It can be thought of as an output of the linear operator
        that is relatively large in norm compared to the input.
