1  Purpose

F07JGF (DPTCON) computes the reciprocal condition number of a real n  by n  symmetric positive definite tridiagonal matrix A , using the LDLT  factorization returned by F07JDF (DPTTRF).

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F07JGF ( N, D, E, ANORM, RCOND, WORK, INFO)
INTEGER  N, INFO
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  D(*), E(*), ANORM, RCOND, WORK(N)
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name dptcon.

3  Description

F07JGF (DPTCON) should be preceded by a call to F07JDF (DPTTRF), which computes a modified Cholesky factorization of the matrix A  as
A=LDLT ,  
where L  is a unit lower bidiagonal matrix and D  is a diagonal matrix, with positive diagonal elements. F07JGF (DPTCON) then utilizes the factorization to compute A-11  by a direct method, from which the reciprocal of the condition number of A , 1/κA  is computed as
1/κ1A=1 / A1 A-11 .  
1/κA  is returned, rather than κA , since when A  is singular κA  is infinite.

5  Parameters

1:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: N0.
2:     D* – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the dimension of the array D must be at least max1,N.
On entry: must contain the n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D from the LDLT factorization of A.
3:     E* – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the dimension of the array E must be at least max1,N-1.
On entry: must contain the n-1 subdiagonal elements of the unit lower bidiagonal matrix L. (E can also be regarded as the superdiagonal of the unit upper bidiagonal matrix U from the UTDU factorization of A.)
4:     ANORM – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the 1-norm of the original matrix A, which may be computed by calling F06RPF with its parameter NORM='1'. ANORM must be computed either before calling F07JDF (DPTTRF) or else from a copy of the original matrix A.
Constraint: ANORM0.0.
5:     RCOND – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Output
On exit: the reciprocal condition number, 1/κ1A=1/A1A-11.
6:     WORKN – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
7:     INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit: INFO=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

INFO<0
If INFO=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

7  Accuracy

The computed condition number will be the exact condition number for a closely neighbouring matrix.

8  Parallelism and Performance

Not applicable.

9  Further Comments

The condition number estimation requires On  floating-point operations.
See Section 15.6 of Higham (2002) for further details on computing the condition number of tridiagonal matrices.
The complex analogue of this routine is F07JUF (ZPTCON).
