strcon(3S)

NAME
     STRCON - estimate the reciprocal of the condition number of a triangular
     matrix A, in either the 1-norm or the infinity-norm

SYNOPSIS
     SUBROUTINE STRCON( NORM, UPLO, DIAG, N, A, LDA, RCOND, WORK, IWORK, INFO
                        )

         CHARACTER      DIAG, NORM, UPLO

         INTEGER        INFO, LDA, N

         REAL           RCOND

         INTEGER        IWORK( * )

         REAL           A( LDA, * ), WORK( * )

IMPLEMENTATION
     These routines are part of the SCSL Scientific Library and can be loaded
     using either the -lscs or the -lscs_mp option.  The -lscs_mp option
     directs the linker to use the multi-processor version of the library.

     When linking to SCSL with -lscs or -lscs_mp, the default integer size is
     4 bytes (32 bits). Another version of SCSL is available in which integers
     are 8 bytes (64 bits).  This version allows the user access to larger
     memory sizes and helps when porting legacy Cray codes.  It can be loaded
     by using the -lscs_i8 option or the -lscs_i8_mp option. A program may use
     only one of the two versions; 4-byte integer and 8-byte integer library
     calls cannot be mixed.

PURPOSE
     STRCON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a triangular
     matrix A, in either the 1-norm or the infinity-norm. The norm of A is
     computed and an estimate is obtained for norm(inv(A)), then the
     reciprocal of the condition number is computed as
        RCOND = 1 / ( norm(A) * norm(inv(A)) ).


ARGUMENTS
     NORM    (input) CHARACTER*1
             Specifies whether the 1-norm condition number or the infinity-
             norm condition number is required:
             = '1' or 'O':  1-norm;
             = 'I':         Infinity-norm.

     UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
             = 'U':  A is upper triangular;
             = 'L':  A is lower triangular.
     DIAG    (input) CHARACTER*1
             = 'N':  A is non-unit triangular;
             = 'U':  A is unit triangular.

     N       (input) INTEGER
             The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

     A       (input) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
             The triangular matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N upper
             triangular part of the array A contains the upper triangular
             matrix, and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not
             referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower triangular
             part of the array A contains the lower triangular matrix, and the
             strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced.  If DIAG =
             'U', the diagonal elements of A are also not referenced and are
             assumed to be 1.

     LDA     (input) INTEGER
             The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).

     RCOND   (output) REAL
             The reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix A, computed
             as RCOND = 1/(norm(A) * norm(inv(A))).

     WORK    (workspace) REAL array, dimension (3*N)

     IWORK   (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)

     INFO    (output) INTEGER
             = 0:  successful exit
             < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
