LFCRT
Estimates the condition number of a real triangular matrix.
Required Arguments
A — N by N matrix containing the coefficient matrix for the triangular linear system. (Input)
For a lower triangular system, only the lower triangular part and diagonal of A are referenced. For an upper triangular system, only the upper triangular part and diagonal of A are referenced.
For a lower triangular system, only the lower triangular part and diagonal of A are referenced. For an upper triangular system, only the upper triangular part and diagonal of A are referenced.
RCOND — Scalar containing an estimate of the reciprocal of the L1 condition number of A. (Output)
Optional Arguments
N — Number of equations. (Input)
Default: N = size (A,2).
Default: N = size (A,2).
LDA — Leading dimension of A exactly as specified in the dimension statement of the calling program. (Input)
Default: LDA = size (A,1).
Default: LDA = size (A,1).
IPATH — Path indicator. (Input)
IPATH = 1 means A is lower triangular. IPATH = 2 means A is upper triangular.
Default: IPATH =1.
IPATH = 1 means A is lower triangular. IPATH = 2 means A is upper triangular.
Default: IPATH =1.

See the ScaLAPACK Usage Notes below for a description of the arguments for distributed computing.
Description
Routine LFCRT estimates the condition number of a real triangular matrix. 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.
The underlying code is based on either LINPACK , LAPACK, or ScaLAPACK 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 L2CRT/ DL2CRT. The reference is:
CALL L2CRT (N, A, LDA, IPATH, RCOND, WK)
The additional argument is:
WK — Work vector of length N.
2. Informational error

ScaLAPACK Usage Notes
The arguments which differ from the standard version of this routine are:
A0 — MXLDA by MXCOL local matrix containing the local portions of the distributed matrix A. A contains the coefficient matrix for the triangular linear system. (Input)
For a lower triangular system, only the lower triangular part and diagonal of A are referenced. For an upper triangular system, only the upper triangular part and diagonal of A are referenced.
For a lower triangular system, only the lower triangular part and diagonal of A are referenced. For an upper triangular system, only the upper triangular part and diagonal of A are referenced.
All other arguments are global and are the same as described for the standard version of the routine. In the argument descriptions above, MXLDA and MXCOL can be obtained through a call to SCALAPACK_GETDIM (see Utilities) after a call to SCALAPACK_SETUP (see Utilities) has been made. See the ScaLAPACK Example below.
Examples
Example
An estimate of the reciprocal condition number is computed for a 3 × 3 lower triangular coefficient matrix.
USE LFCRT_INT
USE UMACH_INT
! Declare variables
PARAMETER (LDA=3)
REAL A(LDA,LDA), RCOND
INTEGER NOUT
! Set values for A and B
! A = ( 2.0 )
! ( 2.0 -1.0 )
! ( -4.0 2.0 5.0)
!
DATA A/2.0, 2.0, -4.0, 0.0, -1.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0/
!
! Compute the reciprocal condition
! number (IPATH=1)
CALL LFCRT (A, RCOND)
! Print results
CALL UMACH (2, NOUT)
WRITE (NOUT,99999) RCOND, 1.0E0/RCOND
99999 FORMAT (’ RCOND = ’,F5.3,/,’ L1 Condition number = ’,F6.3)
END
Output
RCOND < 0.1
L1 Condition number < 15.0
ScaLAPACK Example
The same lower triangular matrix as in the example above is used in this distributed computing example. An estimate of the reciprocal condition number is computed for the 3 × 3 lower triangular coefficient matrix. SCALAPACK_MAP is an IMSL utility routine (see Chapter 11, “Utilities”) used to map an array to the processor grid. It is used here for brevity. DESCINIT is a ScaLAPACK tools routine which initializes the descriptors for the local arrays.
