DPPCON(3) LAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection DPPCON(3) NAME DPPCON SYNOPSIS SUBROUTINE DPPCON (UPLO, N, AP, ANORM, RCOND, WORK, IWORK, INFO) PURPOSE DPPCON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number (in the 1-norm) of a real symmetric positive definite packed matrix using the Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T computed by DPPTRF. 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 = 'U': Upper triangle of A is stored; = 'L': Lower triangle of A is stored. N (input) N is INTEGER The order of the matrix A. N >= 0. AP (input) AP is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2) The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T, packed columnwise in a linear array. The j-th column of U or L is stored in the array AP as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = U(i,j) for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = L(i,j) for j<=i<=n. ANORM (input) ANORM is DOUBLE PRECISION The 1-norm (or infinity-norm) of the symmetric matrix A. RCOND (output) RCOND is DOUBLE PRECISION 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 DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (3*N) IWORK (output) IWORK is INTEGER array, dimension (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 DPPCON(3)
