## Detailed Description

## Function Documentation

### subroutine cgtcon (character norm, integer n, complex, dimension( \* ) dl, complex, dimension( \* ) d, complex, dimension( \* ) du, complex, dimension( \* ) du2, integer, dimension( \* ) ipiv, real anorm, real rcond, complex, dimension( \* ) work, integer info)

**CGTCON**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> CGTCON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a complex
!> tridiagonal matrix A using the LU factorization as computed by
!> CGTTRF.
!>
!> 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 is CHARACTER*1
!>          Specifies whether the 1-norm condition number or the

!>          = '1' or 'O':  1-norm;
!>          = 'I':         Infinity-norm.
!>
```
