 \f$M, N, K\f$ are the parameters of the task, added at the task
 creation. These need to be extracted by the <c>cl_perf_func</c>
 function, which should be defined by the user. \f$\alpha, \beta,
-\gamma\f$ are the exponents defined by user in
-<c>model->combinations<\c> matrix. Finally, coefficients $\fa, b, c\f$
+\gamma\f$ are the exponents defined by the user in
+<c>model->combinations</c> table. Finally, coefficients \f$a, b, c\f$
 are computed automatically at the end of the execution, using least
 squares method of the <c>dgels_</c> LAPACK function.
