NAME

DPTCON - compute 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 com

puted by DPTTRF

SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE DPTCON( N, D, E, ANORM, RCOND, WORK, INFO )
    INTEGER        INFO, N
    DOUBLE         PRECISION ANORM, RCOND
    DOUBLE         PRECISION D( * ), E( * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE

DPTCON computes the reciprocal of the condition number (in

the 1-norm) of a real symmetric positive definite tridiagonal ma

trix using the factorization A = L*D*L**T or A = U**T*D*U comput

ed by DPTTRF. 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) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)

The n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D

from the factorization of A, as computed by DPTTRF.

E (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N-1)

The (n-1) off-diagonal elements of the unit bidi

agonal factor U or L from the factorization of A, as computed by

DPTTRF.

ANORM (input) DOUBLE PRECISION

The 1-norm of the original matrix A.

RCOND (output) DOUBLE PRECISION

The reciprocal of the condition number of the ma

trix A, computed as RCOND = 1/(ANORM * AINVNM), where AINVNM is

the 1-norm of inv(A) computed in this routine.

WORK (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)

INFO (output) INTEGER

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

gal value
