SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE STRCON(

NORM, UPLO, DIAG, N, A, LDA, RCOND, WORK, IWORK, INFO )

    

CHARACTER DIAG, NORM, UPLO

    

INTEGER INFO, LDA, N

    

REAL RCOND

    

INTEGER IWORK( * )

    

REAL A( LDA, * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE

STRCON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a triangular matrix A, in either the 1-norm or the infinity-norm. The norm of A is computed and an estimate is obtained for norm(inv(A)), then the reciprocal of the condition number is computed as

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

ARGUMENTS

NORM (input) CHARACTER*1

Specifies whether the 1-norm condition number or the infinity-norm condition number is required:
= '1' or 'O': 1-norm;
= 'I': Infinity-norm.

UPLO (input) CHARACTER*1

= 'U': A is upper triangular;
= 'L': A is lower triangular.

DIAG (input) CHARACTER*1

= 'N': A is non-unit triangular;
= 'U': A is unit triangular.

N (input) INTEGER

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

A (input) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)

The triangular matrix A. If UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N upper triangular part of the array A contains the upper triangular matrix, and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not referenced. If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower triangular part of the array A contains the lower triangular matrix, and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced. If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are also not referenced and are assumed to be 1.

LDA (input) INTEGER

The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,N).

RCOND (output) REAL

The reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix A, computed as RCOND = 1/(norm(A) * norm(inv(A))).

WORK (workspace) REAL array, dimension (3*N)

IWORK (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)

INFO (output) INTEGER

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