1  Purpose

nag_matop_real_gen_matrix_cond_std (f01jac) computes an estimate of the absolute condition number of a matrix function f at a real n by n matrix A in the 1-norm, where f is either the exponential, logarithm, sine, cosine, hyperbolic sine (sinh) or hyperbolic cosine (cosh). The evaluation of the matrix function, fA, is also returned.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf01.h>
void  nag_matop_real_gen_matrix_cond_std (Nag_MatFunType fun, Integer n, double a[], Integer pda, double *conda, double *norma, double *normfa, NagError *fail)

3  Description

The absolute condition number of f at A, condabsf,A is given by the norm of the Fréchet derivative of f, LA, which is defined by
LX := maxE0 LX,E E ,
where LX,E is the Fréchet derivative in the direction E. LX,E is linear in E and can therefore be written as
vec LX,E = KX vecE ,
where the vec operator stacks the columns of a matrix into one vector, so that KX is n2×n2. nag_matop_real_gen_matrix_cond_std (f01jac) computes an estimate γ such that γ KX 1 , where KX 1 n-1 LX 1 , n LX 1 . The relative condition number can then be computed via
cond rel f,A = cond abs f,A A1 fA 1 .
The algorithm used to find γ is detailed in Section 3.4 of Higham (2008).

NE_INT
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
An internal error occurred when estimating the norm of the Fréchet derivative of f at A. Please contact NAG.
An internal error occurred when evaluating the matrix function fA. You can investigate further by calling nag_real_gen_matrix_exp (f01ecc)nag_matop_real_gen_matrix_log (f01ejc) or nag_matop_real_gen_matrix_fun_std (f01ekc) with the matrix A.

7  Accuracy

nag_matop_real_gen_matrix_cond_std (f01jac) uses the norm estimation function nag_linsys_real_gen_norm_rcomm (f04ydc) to estimate a quantity γ, where γ KX 1  and KX 1 n-1 LX 1 , n LX 1 . For further details on the accuracy of norm estimation, see the documentation for nag_linsys_real_gen_norm_rcomm (f04ydc).

8  Parallelism and Performance

nag_matop_real_gen_matrix_cond_std (f01jac) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_matop_real_gen_matrix_cond_std (f01jac) 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.
In these implementations, this may make calls to the user supplied functions from within an OpenMP parallel region. Thus OpenMP directives within the user functions should be avoided, unless you are using the same OpenMP runtime library (which normally means using the same compiler) as that used to build your NAG Library implementation, as listed in the Installers' Note.
Please consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9  Further Comments

The matrix function is computed using one of three underlying matrix function routines:
Approximately 6n2 of real allocatable memory is required by the routine, in addition to the memory used by these underlying matrix function routines.
If only fA is required, without an estimate of the condition number, then it is far more efficient to use the appropriate matrix function routine listed above.
nag_matop_complex_gen_matrix_cond_std (f01kac) can be used to find the condition number of the exponential, logarithm, sine, cosine, sinh or cosh matrix functions at a complex matrix.

10  Example

This example estimates the absolute and relative condition numbers of the matrix sinh function where
A = 2 1 3 1 3 -1 0 2 1 0 3 1 1 2 0 3 .
