# dppcon(3)

Part of [dppcon.f(3)](/dppcon.f/3.md).

## NAME

SRC/dppcon.f

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

subroutine **dppcon** (uplo, n, ap, anorm, rcond, work, iwork, info)\
 **DPPCON**

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine dppcon (character uplo, integer n, double precision, dimension( \* ) ap, double precision anorm, double precision rcond, double precision, dimension( \* ) work, integer, dimension( \* ) iwork, integer info)

**DPPCON**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> DPPCON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number (in the
!> 1-norm) of a real symmetric positive definite packed matrix using
!> the Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T computed by
!> DPPTRF.
!>
!> 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.
!>
```

*AP*

```
!>          AP is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
!>          The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization
!>          A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T, packed columnwise in a linear
!>          array.  The j-th column of U or L is stored in the array AP
!>          as follows:
!>          if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = U(i,j) for 1<=i<=j;
!>          if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = L(i,j) for j<=i<=n.
!>
```

*ANORM*

```
!>          ANORM is DOUBLE PRECISION
!>          The 1-norm (or infinity-norm) of the symmetric 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 (3*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
!>
```
