## 3Description

f07uuf estimates the condition number of a complex triangular matrix $A$, in either the $1$-norm or the $\infty$-norm, using packed storage:
 $κ1 A = A1 A-11 or κ∞ A = A∞ A-1∞ .$
Note that ${\kappa }_{\infty }\left(A\right)={\kappa }_{1}\left({A}^{\mathrm{T}}\right)$.
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 ${‖A‖}_{1}$ or ${‖A‖}_{\infty }$ exactly, and uses Higham's implementation of Hager's method (see Higham (1988)) to estimate ${‖{A}^{-1}‖}_{1}$ or ${‖{A}^{-1}‖}_{\infty }$.

## 5Arguments

1: $\mathbf{norm}$Character(1) Input
On entry: indicates whether ${\kappa }_{1}\left(A\right)$ or ${\kappa }_{\infty }\left(A\right)$ is estimated.
${\mathbf{norm}}=\text{'1'}$ or $\text{'O'}$
${\kappa }_{1}\left(A\right)$ is estimated.
${\mathbf{norm}}=\text{'I'}$
${\kappa }_{\infty }\left(A\right)$ is estimated.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{norm}}=\text{'1'}$, $\text{'O'}$ or $\text{'I'}$.
2: $\mathbf{uplo}$Character(1) Input
On entry: specifies whether $A$ is upper or lower triangular.
${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$
$A$ is upper triangular.
${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'L'}$
$A$ is lower triangular.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$ or $\text{'L'}$.
3: $\mathbf{diag}$Character(1) Input
On entry: indicates whether $A$ is a nonunit or unit triangular matrix.
${\mathbf{diag}}=\text{'N'}$
$A$ is a nonunit triangular matrix.
${\mathbf{diag}}=\text{'U'}$
$A$ is a unit triangular matrix; the diagonal elements are not referenced and are assumed to be $1$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{diag}}=\text{'N'}$ or $\text{'U'}$.
4: $\mathbf{n}$Integer Input
On entry: $n$, the order of the matrix $A$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{n}}\ge 0$.
5: $\mathbf{ap}\left(*\right)$Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
Note: the dimension of the array ap must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}×\left({\mathbf{n}}+1\right)/2\right)$.
On entry: the $n$ by $n$ triangular matrix $A$, packed by columns.
More precisely,
• if ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$, the upper triangle of $A$ must be stored with element ${A}_{ij}$ in ${\mathbf{ap}}\left(i+j\left(j-1\right)/2\right)$ for $i\le j$;
• if ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'L'}$, the lower triangle of $A$ must be stored with element ${A}_{ij}$ in ${\mathbf{ap}}\left(i+\left(2n-j\right)\left(j-1\right)/2\right)$ for $i\ge j$.
If ${\mathbf{diag}}=\text{'U'}$, the diagonal elements of $A$ are assumed to be $1$, and are not referenced; the same storage scheme is used whether ${\mathbf{diag}}=\text{'N'}$ or ‘U’.
6: $\mathbf{rcond}$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.
7: $\mathbf{work}\left(2×{\mathbf{n}}\right)$Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
8: $\mathbf{rwork}\left({\mathbf{n}}\right)$Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
9: $\mathbf{info}$Integer Output
On exit: ${\mathbf{info}}=0$ unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

## 6Error Indicators and Warnings

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

## 7Accuracy

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

## 8Parallelism and Performance

f07uuf 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.

A call to f07uuf involves solving a number of systems of linear equations of the form $Ax=b$ or ${A}^{\mathrm{H}}x=b$; the number is usually $5$ and never more than $11$. Each solution involves approximately $4{n}^{2}$ real floating-point operations but takes considerably longer than a call to f07usf 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 f07ugf.

## 10Example

This example estimates the condition number in the $1$-norm of the matrix $A$, where
 $A= 4.78+4.56i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 2.00-0.30i -4.11+1.25i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 2.89-1.34i 2.36-4.25i 4.15+0.80i 0.00+0.00i -1.89+1.15i 0.04-3.69i -0.02+0.46i 0.33-0.26i ,$
using packed storage. The true condition number in the $1$-norm is $70.27$.
