Description

The routine estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a triangular matrix A in either the 1-norm or infinity-norm:

κ1(A) =||A||1 ||A-1||1 = κ(AT) = κ(AH)

κ (A) =||A|| ||A-1|| =k1 (AT) = κ1 (AH) .

Input Parameters

matrix_layout

Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).

norm

Must be '1' or 'O' or 'I'.

If norm = '1' or 'O', then the routine estimates the condition number of matrix A in 1-norm.

If norm = 'I', then the routine estimates the condition number of matrix A in infinity-norm.

uplo

Must be 'U' or 'L'.

Indicates whether A is upper or lower triangular:

If uplo = 'U', the array a stores the upper triangle of A, other array elements are not referenced.

If uplo = 'L', the array a stores the lower triangle of A, other array elements are not referenced.

diag

Must be 'N' or 'U'.

If diag = 'N', then A is not a unit triangular matrix.

If diag = 'U', then A is unit triangular: diagonal elements are assumed to be 1 and not referenced in the array a.

n

The order of the matrix A; n 0.

a

The array a of size max(1, lda*n) contains the matrix A.

lda

The leading dimension of a; lda max(1, n).

Output Parameters

rcond

An estimate of the reciprocal of the condition number. The routine sets rcond =0 if the estimate underflows; in this case the matrix is singular (to working precision). However, anytime rcond is small compared to 1.0, for the working precision, the matrix may be poorly conditioned or even singular.

Return Values

This function returns a value info.

If info = 0, the execution is successful.

If info = -i, parameter i had an illegal value.

Application Notes

The computed rcond is never less than r (the reciprocal of the true condition number) and in practice is nearly always less than 10r. A call to this routine involves solving a number of systems of linear equations A*x = b; the number is usually 4 or 5 and never more than 11. Each solution requires approximately n2 floating-point operations for real flavors and 4n2 operations for complex flavors.
