## 1Purpose

f01jbc computes an estimate of the absolute condition number of a matrix function $f$ at a real $n×n$ matrix $A$ in the $1$-norm. Numerical differentiation is used to evaluate the derivatives of $f$ when they are required.

## 2Specification

 #include
void  f01jbc (Integer n, double a[], Integer pda,
 void (*f)(Integer *iflag, Integer nz, const Complex z[], Complex fz[], Nag_Comm *comm),
Nag_Comm *comm, Integer *iflag, double *conda, double *norma, double *normfa, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f01jbc or nag_matop_real_gen_matrix_cond_num.

## 3Description

The absolute condition number of $f$ at $A$, ${\mathrm{cond}}_{\mathrm{abs}}\left(f,A\right)$ is given by the norm of the Fréchet derivative of $f$, $L\left(A\right)$, which is defined by
 $‖L(X)‖ := maxE≠0 ‖L(X,E)‖ ‖E‖ ,$
where $L\left(X,E\right)$ is the Fréchet derivative in the direction $E$. $L\left(X,E\right)$ is linear in $E$ and can, therefore, be written as
 $vec (L(X,E)) = K(X) vec(E) ,$
where the $\mathrm{vec}$ operator stacks the columns of a matrix into one vector, so that $K\left(X\right)$ is ${n}^{2}×{n}^{2}$. f01jbc computes an estimate $\gamma$ such that $\gamma \le {‖K\left(X\right)‖}_{1}$, where ${‖K\left(X\right)‖}_{1}\in \left[{n}^{-1}{‖L\left(X\right)‖}_{1},n{‖L\left(X\right)‖}_{1}\right]$. The relative condition number can then be computed via
 $cond rel (f,A) = cond abs (f,A) ‖A‖1 ‖f(A)‖ 1 .$
The algorithm used to find $\gamma$ is detailed in Section 3.4 of Higham (2008).
The function $f$ is supplied via function f which evaluates $f\left({z}_{i}\right)$ at a number of points ${z}_{i}$.

## 5Arguments

1: $\mathbf{n}$Integer Input
On entry: $n$, the order of the matrix $A$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{n}}\ge 0$.
2: $\mathbf{a}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$double Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least ${\mathbf{pda}}×{\mathbf{n}}$.
The $\left(i,j\right)$th element of the matrix $A$ is stored in ${\mathbf{a}}\left[\left(j-1\right)×{\mathbf{pda}}+i-1\right]$.
On entry: the $n×n$ matrix $A$.
On exit: the $n×n$ matrix, $f\left(A\right)$.
3: $\mathbf{pda}$Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating matrix row elements in the array a.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{pda}}\ge {\mathbf{n}}$.
4: $\mathbf{f}$function, supplied by the user External Function
The function f evaluates $f\left({z}_{i}\right)$ at a number of points ${z}_{i}$.
The specification of f is:
 void f (Integer *iflag, Integer nz, const Complex z[], Complex fz[], Nag_Comm *comm)
1: $\mathbf{iflag}$Integer * Input/Output
On entry: iflag will be zero.
On exit: iflag should either be unchanged from its entry value of zero, or may be set nonzero to indicate that there is a problem in evaluating the function $f\left(z\right)$; for instance $f\left(z\right)$ may not be defined. If iflag is returned as nonzero then f01jbc will terminate the computation, with ${\mathbf{fail}}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_INT, NE_INT_2 or NE_USER_STOP.
2: $\mathbf{nz}$Integer Input
On entry: ${n}_{z}$, the number of function values required.
3: $\mathbf{z}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$const Complex Input
On entry: the ${n}_{z}$ points ${z}_{1},{z}_{2},\dots ,{z}_{{n}_{z}}$ at which the function $f$ is to be evaluated.
4: $\mathbf{fz}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$Complex Output
On exit: the ${n}_{z}$ function values. ${\mathbf{fz}}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]$ should return the value $f\left({z}_{\mathit{i}}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,{n}_{z}$. If ${z}_{i}$ lies on the real line, then so must $f\left({z}_{i}\right)$.
5: $\mathbf{comm}$Nag_Comm *
Pointer to structure of type Nag_Comm; the following members are relevant to f.
userdouble *
iuserInteger *
pPointer
The type Pointer will be void *. Before calling f01jbc you may allocate memory and initialize these pointers with various quantities for use by f when called from f01jbc (see Section 3.1.1 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).
Note: f should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by f01jbc. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, f01jbc is likely to produce unexpected results.
5: $\mathbf{comm}$Nag_Comm *
The NAG communication argument (see Section 3.1.1 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).
6: $\mathbf{iflag}$Integer * Output
On exit: ${\mathbf{iflag}}=0$, unless iflag has been set nonzero inside f, in which case iflag will be the value set and fail will be set to ${\mathbf{fail}}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_INT, NE_INT_2 or NE_USER_STOP.
7: $\mathbf{conda}$double * Output
On exit: an estimate of the absolute condition number of $f$ at $A$.
8: $\mathbf{norma}$double * Output
On exit: the $1$-norm of $A$.
9: $\mathbf{normfa}$double * Output
On exit: the $1$-norm of $f\left(A\right)$.
10: $\mathbf{fail}$NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

## 7Accuracy

f01jbc uses the norm estimation function f04ydc to estimate a quantity $\gamma$, where $\gamma \le {‖K\left(X\right)‖}_{1}$ and ${‖K\left(X\right)‖}_{1}\in \left[{n}^{-1}{‖L\left(X\right)‖}_{1},n{‖L\left(X\right)‖}_{1}\right]$. For further details on the accuracy of norm estimation, see the documentation for f04ydc.

## 8Parallelism and Performance

f01jbc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library. In these implementations, this function may make calls to the user-supplied functions from within an OpenMP parallel region. Thus OpenMP pragmas within the user functions can only be used if you are compiling the user-supplied function and linking the executable in accordance with the instructions in the Users' Note for your implementation. You must also ensure that you use the NAG communication argument comm in a thread safe manner, which is best achieved by only using it to supply read-only data to the user functions.
f01jbc 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.

The matrix function is computed using the underlying matrix function routine f01elc. Approximately $6{n}^{2}$ of real allocatable memory is required by the routine, in addition to the memory used by the underlying matrix function routine.
If only $f\left(A\right)$ is required, without an estimate of the condition number, then it is far more efficient to use the underlying matrix function routine.
The complex analogue of this function is f01kbc.
