CHPCON(3)                  MathKeisan LAPACK routine                 CHPCON(3)



NAME
       CHPCON  - the reciprocal of the condition number of a complex Hermitian
       packed matrix A using the factorization A = U*D*U**H or  A  =  L*D*L**H
       computed by CHPTRF

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE CHPCON( UPLO, N, AP, IPIV, ANORM, RCOND, WORK, INFO )

           CHARACTER      UPLO

           INTEGER        INFO, N

           REAL           ANORM, RCOND

           INTEGER        IPIV( * )

           COMPLEX        AP( * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE
       CHPCON  estimates  the  reciprocal of the condition number of a complex
       Hermitian packed matrix A using the factorization A = U*D*U**H or  A  =
       L*D*L**H computed by CHPTRF.

       An  estimate  is  obtained  for norm(inv(A)), and the reciprocal of the
       condition number is computed as RCOND = 1 / (ANORM * norm(inv(A))).


ARGUMENTS
       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
               Specifies whether the details of the factorization  are  stored
               as an upper or lower triangular matrix.  = 'U':  Upper triangu-
               lar, form is A = U*D*U**H;
               = 'L':  Lower triangular, form is A = L*D*L**H.

       N       (input) INTEGER
               The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

       AP      (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
               The block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used to  obtain
               the  factor  U  or  L as computed by CHPTRF, stored as a packed
               triangular matrix.

       IPIV    (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
               Details of the interchanges and the block  structure  of  D  as
               determined by CHPTRF.

       ANORM   (input) REAL
               The 1-norm of the original matrix A.

       RCOND   (output) REAL
               The  reciprocal  of  the condition number of the matrix A, com-
               puted as RCOND = 1/(ANORM * AINVNM), where AINVNM is  an  esti-
               mate of the 1-norm of inv(A) computed in this routine.

       WORK    (workspace) COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N)

       INFO    (output) INTEGER
               = 0:  successful exit
               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
