 **DGTCON**

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine dgtcon (character norm, integer n, double precision, dimension( \* ) dl, double precision, dimension( \* ) d, double precision, dimension( \* ) du, double precision, dimension( \* ) du2, integer, dimension( \* ) ipiv, double precision anorm, double precision rcond, double precision, dimension( \* ) work, integer, dimension( \* ) iwork, integer info)

**DGTCON**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> DGTCON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a real
!> tridiagonal matrix A using the LU factorization as computed by
!> DGTTRF.
!>
!> 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**

*NORM*

```
!>          NORM is 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.
!>
```

*N*

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

*DL*

```
!>          DL is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N-1)
!>          The (n-1) multipliers that define the matrix L from the
!>          LU factorization of A as computed by DGTTRF.
!>
```

*D*

```
!>          D is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
!>          The n diagonal elements of the upper triangular matrix U from
!>          the LU factorization of A.
!>
```

*DU*

```
!>          DU is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N-1)
!>          The (n-1) elements of the first superdiagonal of U.
!>
```

*DU2*

```
!>          DU2 is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N-2)
!>          The (n-2) elements of the second superdiagonal of U.
!>
```

*IPIV*

```
!>          IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N)
!>          The pivot indices; for 1 <= i <= n, row i of the matrix was
!>          interchanged with row IPIV(i).  IPIV(i) will always be either
!>          i or i+1; IPIV(i) = i indicates a row interchange was not
!>          required.
!>
```

*ANORM*

```
!>          ANORM is DOUBLE PRECISION
!>          If NORM = '1' or 'O', the 1-norm of the original matrix A.
!>          If NORM = 'I', the infinity-norm of the original matrix A.
!>
```

*RCOND*

```
!>          RCOND is DOUBLE PRECISION
!>          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 DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (2*N)
!>
```

*IWORK*

```
!>          IWORK is INTEGER array, dimension (N)
!>
```

*INFO*

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