The routine may be called by the names f07vuf, nagf_lapacklin_ztbcon or its LAPACK name ztbcon.

3 Description

f07vuf estimates the condition number of a complex triangular band matrix A, in either the 1-norm or the -norm:
κ1(A)=A1A-11   or   κ(A)=AA-1 .  
Note that κ(A)=κ1(AT).
Because the condition number is infinite if A is singular, the routine actually returns an estimate of the reciprocal of the condition number.
The routine computes A1 or A exactly, and uses Higham's implementation of Hager's method (see Higham (1988)) to estimate A-11 or A-1.

5 Arguments

1: norm Character(1) Input
On entry: indicates whether κ1(A) or κ(A) is estimated.
norm='1' or 'O'
κ1(A) is estimated.
norm='I'
κ(A) is estimated.
Constraint: norm='1', 'O' or 'I'.
2: uplo Character(1) Input
On entry: specifies whether A is upper or lower triangular.
uplo='U'
A is upper triangular.
uplo='L'
A is lower triangular.
Constraint: uplo='U' or 'L'.
3: diag Character(1) Input
On entry: indicates whether A is a nonunit or unit triangular matrix.
diag='N'
A is a nonunit triangular matrix.
diag='U'
A is a unit triangular matrix; the diagonal elements are not referenced and are assumed to be 1.
Constraint: diag='N' or 'U'.
4: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
5: kd Integer Input
On entry: kd, the number of superdiagonals of the matrix A if uplo='U', or the number of subdiagonals if uplo='L'.
Constraint: kd0.
6: ab(ldab,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
Note: the second dimension of the array ab must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: the n×n triangular band matrix A.
The matrix is stored in rows 1 to kd+1, more precisely,
  • if uplo='U', the elements of the upper triangle of A within the band must be stored with element Aij in ab(kd+1+i-j,j)​ for ​max(1,j-kd)ij;
  • if uplo='L', the elements of the lower triangle of A within the band must be stored with element Aij in ab(1+i-j,j)​ for ​jimin(n,j+kd).
If diag='U', the diagonal elements of A are assumed to be 1, and are not referenced.
7: ldab Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array ab as declared in the (sub)program from which f07vuf is called.
Constraint: ldabkd+1.
8: rcond Real (Kind=nag_wp) 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: work(2×n) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
10: rwork(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
11: info Integer Output
On exit: info=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

info<0
If info=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

7 Accuracy

The computed estimate rcond is never less than the true value ρ, and in practice is nearly always less than 10ρ, although examples can be constructed where rcond is much larger.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f07vuf 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 routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

A call to f07vuf involves solving a number of systems of linear equations of the form Ax=b or AHx=b; the number is usually 5 and never more than 11. Each solution involves approximately 8nk real floating-point operations (assuming nk) but takes considerably longer than a call to f07vsf with one right-hand side, because extra care is taken to avoid overflow when A is approximately singular.
The real analogue of this routine is f07vgf.

10 Example

This example estimates the condition number in the 1-norm of the matrix A, where
A= ( -1.94+4.43i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i -3.39+3.44i 4.12-4.27i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 1.62+3.68i -1.84+5.53i 0.43-2.66i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i -2.77-1.93i 1.74-0.04i 0.44+0.10i ) .  
Here A is treated as a lower triangular band matrix with two subdiagonals. The true condition number in the 1-norm is 71.51.
