void	f07tuc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_NormType norm, Nag_UploType uplo, Nag_DiagType diag, Integer n, const Complex a[], Integer pda, double rcond, NagError fail)

The function may be called by the names: f07tuc, nag_lapacklin_ztrcon or nag_ztrcon.

3 Description

f07tuc estimates the condition number of a complex triangular 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^{T})

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 computes

{‖ A ‖}_{1}

{‖ A ‖}_{\infty}

exactly, and uses Higham's implementation of Hager's method (see Higham (1988)) to estimate

{‖ A^{- 1} ‖}_{1}

{‖ A^{- 1} ‖}_{\infty}

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderType Input

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 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $norm$ – Nag_NormType Input

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: $uplo$ – Nag_UploType Input

On entry: specifies whether

A

is upper or lower triangular.

$uplo = Nag_Upper$: $A$ is upper triangular.
$uplo = Nag_Lower$: $A$ is lower triangular.

Constraint:

uplo = Nag_Upper

Nag_Lower

4: $diag$ – Nag_DiagType Input

On entry: indicates whether

A

is a nonunit or unit triangular matrix.

$diag = Nag_NonUnitDiag$: $A$ is a nonunit triangular matrix.
$diag = Nag_UnitDiag$: $A$ is a unit triangular matrix; the diagonal elements are not referenced and are assumed to be $1$ .

Constraint:

diag = Nag_NonUnitDiag

Nag_UnitDiag

5: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

6: $a [\dim]$ – const Complex Input

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

\max (1, pda \times n)

On entry: the

n \times n

triangular matrix

A

order = Nag_ColMajor

A_{i j}

is stored in

a [(j - 1) \times pda + i - 1]

order = Nag_RowMajor

A_{i j}

is stored in

a [(i - 1) \times pda + j - 1]

uplo = Nag_Upper

, the upper triangular part of

A

must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.

uplo = Nag_Lower

, the lower triangular part of

A

must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.

diag = Nag_UnitDiag

, the diagonal elements of

A

are assumed to be

1

, and are not referenced.

7: $pda$ – Integer Input

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

A

in the array a.

Constraint:

pda \geq \max (1, n)

8: $rcond$ – 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.

9: $fail$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

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

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

f07tuc 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 f07tuc 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

4 n^{2}

real floating-point operations but takes considerably longer than a call to f07tsc 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 f07tgc.

10 Example

This example estimates the condition number in the

1

-norm of the matrix

A

, where

A = (\begin{array}{r} 4.78 + 4.56 i & 0.00 + 0.00 i & 0.00 + 0.00 i & 0.00 + 0.00 i \\ 2.00 - 0.30 i & - 4.11 + 1.25 i & 0.00 + 0.00 i & 0.00 + 0.00 i \\ 2.89 - 1.34 i & 2.36 - 4.25 i & 4.15 + 0.80 i & 0.00 + 0.00 i \\ - 1.89 + 1.15 i & 0.04 - 3.69 i & - 0.02 + 0.46 i & 0.33 - 0.26 i \end{array}) .

The true condition number in the

1

-norm is
