1  Purpose

nag_dptcon (f07jgc) computes the reciprocal condition number of a real n  by n  symmetric positive definite tridiagonal matrix A , using the LDLT  factorization returned by nag_dpttrf (f07jdc).

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf07.h>
void  nag_dptcon (Integer n, const double d[], const double e[], double anorm, double *rcond, NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_dptcon (f07jgc) should be preceded by a call to nag_dpttrf (f07jdc), 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. nag_dptcon (f07jgc) 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  Arguments

1:     nIntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
2:     d[dim]const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, 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[dim]const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, 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:     anormdoubleInput
On entry: the 1-norm of the original matrix A, which may be computed as shown in Section 10. anorm must be computed either before calling nag_dpttrf (f07jdc) or else from a copy of the original matrix A.
Constraint: anorm0.0.
5:     rconddouble *Output
On exit: the reciprocal condition number, 1/κ1A=1/A1A-11.
6:     failNagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
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.
NE_REAL
On entry, anorm=value.
Constraint: anorm0.0.

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 function is nag_zptcon (f07juc).
