Description
Routine LFCQS computes an RTR Cholesky factorization and estimates the condition number of a real symmetric positive definite band coefficient matrix. R is an upper triangular band matrix.
The L1condition number of the matrix A is defined to be κ(A) = A1A-11. Since it is expensive to compute A-11, 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.
LFCQS fails if any submatrix of R is not positive definite or if R has a zero diagonal element. These errors occur only if A is very close to a singular matrix or to a matrix which is not positive definite.
The RTR factors are returned in a form that is compatible with routines LFIQS, LFSQS and LFDQS. To solve systems of equations with multiple right-hand-side vectors, use LFCQS followed by either LFIQS or LFSQS called once for each right-hand side. The routine LFDQS can be called to compute the determinant of the coefficient matrix after LFCQS has performed the factorization.
LFCQS is based on the LINPACK routine SPBCO; see Dongarra et al. (1979).
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of L2CQS/DL2CQS. The reference is:
CALL L2CQS (N, A, LDA, NCODA, FACT, LDFACT, RCOND, WK)
The additional argument is:
WK — Work vector of length N.

Example
The inverse of a 4 × 4 symmetric positive definite band matrix with one codiagonal is computed. LFCQS is called to factor the matrix and to check for nonpositive definiteness or ill-conditioning. LFIQS is called to determine the columns of the inverse.
