LFDCT
Computes the determinant of a complex triangular matrix.
Required Arguments
A — Complex N by N matrix containing the triangular matrix.(Input)
DET1 — Complex scalar containing the mantissa of the determinant. (Output)
The value DET1 is normalized so that 1.0  DET1 < 10.0 or DET1 = 0.0.
DET2 — Scalar containing the exponent of the determinant. (Output)
The determinant is returned in the form det(A) = DET1 * 10DET2.
Optional Arguments
N — Number of equations. (Input)
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).
FORTRAN 90 Interface
Generic: CALL LFDCT (A, DET1, DET2 [,])
Specific: The specific interface names are S_LFDCT and D_LFDCT.
FORTRAN 77 Interface
Single: CALL LFDCT (N, A, LDA, DET1, DET2)
Double: The double precision name is DLFDCT.
Description
Routine LFDCT computes the determinant of a complex triangular coefficient matrix. The determinant of a triangular matrix is the product of the diagonal elements
LFDCT is based on the LINPACK routine CTRDI; see Dongarra et al. (1979).
