void	nag_zgbcon (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_NormType norm, Integer n, Integer kl, Integer ku, const Complex ab[], Integer pdab, const Integer ipiv[], double anorm, double rcond, NagError fail)

3 Description

nag_zgbcon (f07buc) estimates the condition number of a complex band matrix

A

, in either the

1

-norm or the

\infty

-norm:

κ_{1} (A) = {‖A‖}_{1} {‖A^{- 1}‖}_{1} or κ_{\infty} (A) = {‖A‖}_{\infty} {‖A^{- 1}‖}_{\infty} .

Note that

κ_{\infty} (A) = κ_{1} (A^{H})

Because the condition number is infinite if

A

is singular, the function actually returns an estimate of the reciprocal of the condition number.

The function should be preceded by a call to nag_zgb_norm (f16ubc) to compute

{‖A‖}_{1}

{‖A‖}_{\infty}

, and a call to nag_zgbtrf (f07brc) to compute the

L U

factorization of

A

. The function then uses Higham's implementation of Hager's method (see Higham (1988)) to estimate

{‖A^{- 1}‖}_{1}

{‖A^{- 1}‖}_{\infty}

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderTypeInput

On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by

order = Nag_RowMajor

. See Section 2.3.1.3 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $norm$ – Nag_NormTypeInput

On entry: indicates whether

κ_{1} (A)

κ_{\infty} (A)

is estimated.

$norm = Nag_OneNorm$: $κ_{1} (A)$ is estimated.
$norm = Nag_InfNorm$: $κ_{\infty} (A)$ is estimated.

Constraint:

norm = Nag_OneNorm

Nag_InfNorm

3: $n$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: $kl$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

k_{l}

, the number of subdiagonals within the band of the matrix

A

Constraint:

kl \geq 0

5: $ku$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

k_{u}

, the number of superdiagonals within the band of the matrix

A

Constraint:

ku \geq 0

6: $ab [\dim]$ – const ComplexInput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ab must be at least

\max (1, pdab \times n)

On entry: the

L U

factorization of

A

, as returned by nag_zgbtrf (f07brc).

7: $pdab$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix in the array ab.

Constraint:

pdab \geq 2 \times kl + ku + 1

8: $ipiv [\dim]$ – const IntegerInput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ipiv must be at least

\max (1, n)

On entry: the pivot indices, as returned by nag_zgbtrf (f07brc).

9: $anorm$ – doubleInput

On entry: if

norm = Nag_OneNorm

, the

1

-norm of the original matrix

A

norm = Nag_InfNorm

, the

\infty

-norm of the original matrix

A

anorm may be computed by calling nag_zgb_norm (f16ubc) with the same value for the argument norm.

anorm must be computed either before calling nag_zgbtrf (f07brc) or else from a copy of the original matrix

A

(see Section 10).

Constraint:

anorm \geq 0.0

10: $rcond$ – double *Output

On exit: an estimate of the reciprocal of the condition number of

A

. rcond is set to zero if exact singularity is detected or the estimate underflows. If rcond is less than machine precision,

A

is singular to working precision.

11: $fail$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 2.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

7 Accuracy

The computed estimate rcond is never less than the true value

ρ

, and in practice is nearly always less than

10 ρ

, although examples can be constructed where rcond is much larger.

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_zgbcon (f07buc) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the x06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

A call to nag_zgbcon (f07buc) involves solving a number of systems of linear equations of the form

A x = b

A^{H} x = b

; the number is usually

5

and never more than

11

. Each solution involves approximately

8 n (2 k_{l} + k_{u})

real floating-point operations (assuming

n ≫ k_{l}

and

n ≫ k_{u}

) but takes considerably longer than a call to nag_zgbtrs (f07bsc) with one right-hand side, because extra care is taken to avoid overflow when

A

is approximately singular.

The real analogue of this function is nag_dgbcon (f07bgc).
