Description
The routine estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a general matrix A in the 1-norm or infinity-norm:
\(\kappa_{1}(A) = ||A||_{1} ||A^{-1}||_{1} = \kappa_{\infty}(A^{T}) = \kappa_{\infty}(A^{H})\)
\(\kappa_{\infty}(A) = ||A||_{\infty} ||A^{-1}||_{\infty} = \kappa_{1}(A^{T}) = \kappa_{1}(A^{H})\) .
An estimate is obtained for ||A^{-1}|| , and the reciprocal of the condition number is computed as rcond = 1 / (||A|| ||A^{-1}||) .
Before calling this routine:
compute anorm (either ||A||_{1} = max_{j}Σ_{i} |a_{ij}| or \(||A||_{\infty} = max_{i}\sum_{j} |a_{ij}|)\)
call ?getrf (Computes the LU factorization of a general m-by-n matrix.) to compute the LU factorization of A .
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.
n
The order of the matrix A ; n ≥ 0.
a , work
The array a contains the LU -factored matrix A , as returned by ?getrf (Computes the LU factorization of a general m-by-n matrix.) .
anorm
The norm of the original matrix A (see Description ) .
lda
The leading dimension of a; lda≥ max(1, n) .
iwork
Workspace array, size at least max(1, n) .
rwork
Workspace array, size at least max(1, 2*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.
LAPACK 95 Interface Notes
There exist FORTRAN 77 and FORTRAN 95 interfaces for this routine. See the Intel® oneMKL Fortran Developer Reference for details.
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 10 r . A call to this routine involves solving a number of systems of linear equations \(A x = b\) or \(A^{H} x = b\) ; the number is usually 4 or 5 and never more than 11. Each solution requires approximately \(2 n^{2}\) floating-point operations for real flavors and \(8 n^{2}\) for complex flavors.
