SPTCON(3f)

NAME
SPTCON - 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

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
