The routine may be called by the names f07nuf, nagf_lapacklin_zsycon or its LAPACK name zsycon.

3 Description

f07nuf estimates the condition number (in the 1-norm) of a complex symmetric matrix A:
κ1(A)=A1A-11 .  
Since A is symmetric, κ1(A)=κ(A)=AA-1.
Because κ1(A) is infinite if A is singular, the routine actually returns an estimate of the reciprocal of κ1(A).
The routine should be preceded by a call to f06uff to compute A1 and a call to f07nrf to compute the Bunch–Kaufman factorization of A. The routine then uses Higham's implementation of Hager's method (see Higham (1988)) to estimate A-11.

5 Arguments

1: uplo Character(1) Input
On entry: specifies how A has been factorized.
uplo='U'
A=PUDUTPT, where U is upper triangular.
uplo='L'
A=PLDLTPT, where L is lower triangular.
Constraint: uplo='U' or 'L'.
2: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
3: a(lda,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: details of the factorization of A, as returned by f07nrf.
4: lda Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f07nuf is called.
Constraint: ldamax(1,n).
5: ipiv(*) Integer array Input
Note: the dimension of the array ipiv must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: details of the interchanges and the block structure of D, as returned by f07nrf.
6: anorm Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the 1-norm of the original matrix A, which may be computed by calling f06uff with its argument norm='1'. anorm must be computed either before calling f07nrf or else from a copy of the original matrix A.
Constraint: anorm0.0.
7: 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.
8: work(2×n) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
9: 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

f07nuf 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 f07nuf involves solving a number of systems of linear equations of the form Ax=b; the number is usually 5 and never more than 11. Each solution involves approximately 8n2 real floating-point operations but takes considerably longer than a call to f07nsf 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 f07mgf.

10 Example

This example estimates the condition number in the 1-norm (or -norm) of the matrix A, where
A= ( -0.39-0.71i 5.14-0.64i -7.86-2.96i 3.80+0.92i 5.14-0.64i 8.86+1.81i -3.52+0.58i 5.32-1.59i -7.86-2.96i -3.52+0.58i -2.83-0.03i -1.54-2.86i 3.80+0.92i 5.32-1.59i -1.54-2.86i -0.56+0.12i ) .  
Here A is symmetric and must first be factorized by f07nrf. The true condition number in the 1-norm is 32.92.
