Description
Routine LFCSF performs a U DUT factorization of a real symmetric indefinite coefficient matrix. It also estimates the condition number of the matrix. The U DUT factorization is called the diagonal pivoting factorization.
The L1 condition number of the matrix A is defined to be κ(A) = ∥A∥1∥A-1∥1. Since it is expensive to compute ∥A-1∥1, the condition number is only estimated. The estimation algorithm is the same as used by LINPACK and is described by Cline et al. (1979).
If the estimated condition number is greater than 1/ɛ (where ɛ is machine precision), a warning error is issued. This indicates that very small changes in A can cause very large changes in the solution x. Iterative refinement can sometimes find the solution to such a system.
LFCSF fails if A is singular or very close to a singular matrix.
The U DUT factors are returned in a form that is compatible with routines LFISF, LFSSF and LFDSF. To solve systems of equations with multiple right-hand-side vectors, use LFCSF followed by either LFISF or LFSSF called once for each right-hand side. The routine LFDSF can be called to compute the determinant of the coefficient matrix after LFCSF has performed the factorization.
The underlying code is based on either LINPACK or LAPACK code depending upon which supporting libraries are used during linking. For a detailed explanation see “Using ScaLAPACK, LAPACK, LINPACK, and EISPACK” in the Introduction section of this manual.
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of L2CSF/DL2CSF. The reference is:
CALL L2CSF (N, A, LDA, FACT, LDFACT, IPVT, RCOND, WK)
The additional argument is:
WK — Work vector of length N.
2. Informational errors
Type | Code | Description |

3 | 1 | The input matrix is algorithmically singular. |
4 | 2 | The input matrix is singular. |
Example
The inverse of a 3 × 3 matrix is computed. LFCSF is called to factor the matrix and to check for singularity or ill-conditioning. LFISF is called to determine the columns of the inverse.
