Description

The routine estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a real or complex tridiagonal matrix A in the 1-norm or infinity-norm:

κ1(A) = ||A||1||A-1||1

κ(A) = ||A||||A-1||

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 = maxjΣi |aij| or ||A|| = maxiΣj |aij|)

  • call ?gttrf to compute the LU factorization of A.

Input Parameters

norm

CHARACTER*1. 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

INTEGER. The order of the matrix A; n 0.

dl,d,du,du2

REAL for sgtcon

DOUBLE PRECISION for dgtcon

COMPLEX for cgtcon

DOUBLE COMPLEX for zgtcon.

Arrays: dl(n -1), d(n), du(n -1), du2(n -2).

The array dl contains the (n - 1) multipliers that define the matrix L from the LU factorization of A as computed by ?gttrf.

The array d contains the n diagonal elements of the upper triangular matrix U from the LU factorization of A.

The array du contains the (n - 1) elements of the first superdiagonal of U.

The array du2 contains the (n - 2) elements of the second superdiagonal of U.

ipiv

INTEGER.

Array, size (n). The array of pivot indices, as returned by ?gttrf.

anorm

REAL for single precision flavors.

DOUBLE PRECISION for double precision flavors.

The norm of the original matrix A(see Description).

work

REAL for sgtcon

DOUBLE PRECISION for dgtcon

COMPLEX for cgtcon

DOUBLE COMPLEX for zgtcon.

Workspace array, size (2*n).

iwork

INTEGER. Workspace array, size (n). Used for real flavors only.

Output Parameters

rcond

REAL for single precision flavors.

DOUBLE PRECISION for double precision flavors.

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.

info

INTEGER. If info = 0, the execution is successful.

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

LAPACK 95 Interface Notes

Routines in Fortran 95 interface have fewer arguments in the calling sequence than their FORTRAN 77 counterparts. For general conventions applied to skip redundant or reconstructible arguments, see LAPACK 95 Interface Conventions.

Specific details for the routine gtcon interface are as follows:

dl

Holds the vector of length (n-1).

d

Holds the vector of length n.

du

Holds the vector of length (n-1).

du2

Holds the vector of length (n-2).

ipiv

Holds the vector of length n.

norm

Must be '1', 'O', or 'I'. The default value is '1'.

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 2n2 floating-point operations for real flavors and 8n2 for complex flavors.
