## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

subroutine **cpocon** (uplo, n, a, lda, anorm, rcond, work, rwork, info)\
 **CPOCON**

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine cpocon (character uplo, integer n, complex, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, real anorm, real rcond, complex, dimension( \* ) work, real, dimension( \* ) rwork, integer info)

**CPOCON**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> CPOCON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number (in the
!> 1-norm) of a complex Hermitian positive definite matrix using the
!> Cholesky factorization A = U**H*U or A = L*L**H computed by CPOTRF.
!>
!> An estimate is obtained for norm(inv(A)), and the reciprocal of the
!> condition number is computed as RCOND = 1 / (ANORM * norm(inv(A))).
!>
```

**Parameters**

*UPLO*

```
!>          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
!>          = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
!>          = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
!>
```

*N*

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
!>
```

*A*

```
!>          A is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
!>          The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization
!>          A = U**H*U or A = L*L**H, as computed by CPOTRF.
!>
```

*LDA*

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

*ANORM*

```
!>          ANORM is REAL
!>          The 1-norm (or infinity-norm) of the Hermitian matrix A.
!>
```

*RCOND*

```
!>          RCOND is REAL
!>          The reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix A,
!>          computed as RCOND = 1/(ANORM * AINVNM), where AINVNM is an
!>          estimate of the 1-norm of inv(A) computed in this routine.
!>
```

*WORK*

```
!>          WORK is COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N)
!>
```

*RWORK*

```
!>          RWORK is REAL array, dimension (N)
!>
```

*INFO*

```
!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>          = 0:  successful exit
!>          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
!>
