Parameters
normstr, length 1

Indicates whether or is estimated.

or

is estimated.

is estimated.

uplostr, length 1

Specifies whether is upper or lower triangular.

is upper triangular.

is lower triangular.

diagstr, length 1

Indicates whether is a nonunit or unit triangular matrix.

is a nonunit triangular matrix.

is a unit triangular matrix; the diagonal elements are not referenced and are assumed to be .

nint

, the order of the matrix .

afloat, array-like, shape

The triangular matrix .

Returns
rcondfloat

An estimate of the reciprocal of the condition number of . is set to zero if exact singularity is detected or if the estimate underflows. If is less than machine precision, is singular to working precision.

Raises
NagValueError
(errno )

On entry, error in parameter .

Constraint: , or .

(errno )

On entry, error in parameter .

Constraint: or .

(errno )

On entry, error in parameter .

Constraint: or .

(errno )

On entry, error in parameter .

Constraint: .

Notes

dtrcon estimates the condition number of a real triangular matrix , in either the -norm or the -norm:

Note that .

Because the condition number is infinite if is singular, the function actually returns an estimate of the reciprocal of the condition number.

The function computes or exactly, and uses Higham’s implementation of Hager’s method (see Higham (1988)) to estimate or .
