f07hgc estimates the condition number of a real symmetric positive definite band matrix
, where
has been factorized by
f07hdc.
f07hgc estimates the condition number (in the
-norm) of a real symmetric positive definite band matrix
:
Since
is symmetric,
.
The function should be preceded by a call to
f16rec to compute
and a call to
f07hdc to compute the Cholesky factorization of
. The function then uses Higham's implementation of Hager's method (see
Higham (1988)) to estimate
.

The computed estimate
rcond is never less than the true value
, and in practice is nearly always less than
, although examples can be constructed where
rcond is much larger.
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.
A call to
f07hgc involves solving a number of systems of linear equations of the form
; the number is usually
or
and never more than
. Each solution involves approximately
floating-point operations (assuming
) but takes considerably longer than a call to
f07hec with one right-hand side, because extra care is taken to avoid overflow when
is approximately singular.
The complex analogue of this function is
f07huc.
This example estimates the condition number in the
-norm (or
-norm) of the matrix
, where
Here
is symmetric and positive definite, and is treated as a band matrix, which must first be factorized by
f07hdc. The true condition number in the
-norm is
.
