CHPCON(3) LAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection CHPCON(3) NAME CHPCON SYNOPSIS SUBROUTINE CHPCON (UPLO, N, AP, IPIV, ANORM, RCOND, WORK, INFO) PURPOSE CHPCON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a complex Hermitian packed matrix A using the factorization A = U*D*U**H or A = L*D*L**H computed by CHPTRF. An estimate is obtained for norm(inv(A)), and the reciprocal of the condition number is computed as RCOND = 1 / (ANORM * norm(inv(A))). ARGUMENTS UPLO (input) UPLO is CHARACTER*1 Specifies whether the details of the factorization are stored as an upper or lower triangular matrix. = 'U': Upper triangular, form is A = U*D*U**H; = 'L': Lower triangular, form is A = L*D*L**H. N (input) N is INTEGER The order of the matrix A. N >= 0. AP (input) AP is COMPLEX array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2) The block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used to obtain the factor U or L as computed by CHPTRF, stored as a packed triangular matrix. IPIV (input) IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N) Details of the interchanges and the block structure of D as determined by CHPTRF. ANORM (input) ANORM is REAL The 1-norm of the original matrix A. RCOND (output) RCOND is REAL The reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix A, computed as RCOND = 1/(ANORM * AINVNM), where AINVNM is an estimate of the 1-norm of inv(A) computed in this routine. WORK (output) WORK is COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N) INFO (output) INFO is INTEGER = 0: successful exit < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value LAPACK routine 31 October 2017 CHPCON(3)
