SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE SPTCON(

N, D, E, ANORM, RCOND, WORK, INFO )

    

INTEGER INFO, N

    

REAL ANORM, RCOND

    

REAL D( * ), E( * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE

SPTCON computes the reciprocal of the condition number (in the 1-norm) of a real symmetric positive definite tridiagonal matrix using the factorization A = L*D*L**T or A = U**T*D*U computed by SPTTRF. Norm(inv(A)) is computed by a direct method, and the reciprocal of the condition number is computed as

             RCOND = 1 / (ANORM * norm(inv(A))).

ARGUMENTS

N (input) INTEGER

The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.

D (input) REAL array, dimension (N)

The n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D from the factorization of A, as computed by SPTTRF.

E (input) REAL array, dimension (N-1)

The (n-1) off-diagonal elements of the unit bidiagonal factor U or L from the factorization of A, as computed by SPTTRF.

ANORM (input) REAL

The 1-norm of the original matrix A.

RCOND (output) REAL

The reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix A, computed as RCOND = 1/(ANORM * AINVNM), where AINVNM is the 1-norm of inv(A) computed in this routine.

WORK (workspace) REAL array, dimension (N)

INFO (output) INTEGER

= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
