PDGECON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a general distributed real matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1), in either the 1-norm or the infinity-norm, using the LU factorization computed by PDGETRF.

An estimate is obtained for norm(inv(A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1))), and the reciprocal of the condition number is computed as
RCOND = 1 / ( norm( A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) ) *
norm( inv(A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)) ) ).

Notes
=====

Each global data object is described by an associated description vector. This vector stores the information required to establish the mapping between an object element and its corresponding process and memory location.

Let A be a generic term for any 2D block cyclicly distributed array. Such a global array has an associated description vector DESCA. In the following comments, the character _ should be read as "of the global array".

NOTATION STORED IN EXPLANATION
--------------- -------------- -------------------------------------- DTYPE_A(global) DESCA( DTYPE_ )The descriptor type. In this case,
DTYPE_A = 1.
CTXT_A (global) DESCA( CTXT_ ) The BLACS context handle, indicating
the BLACS process grid A is distribu-
ted over. The context itself is glo-
bal, but the handle (the integer
value) may vary.
M_A (global) DESCA( M_ ) The number of rows in the global
array A.
N_A (global) DESCA( N_ ) The number of columns in the global
array A.
MB_A (global) DESCA( MB_ ) The blocking factor used to distribute
the rows of the array.
NB_A (global) DESCA( NB_ ) The blocking factor used to distribute
the columns of the array.
RSRC_A (global) DESCA( RSRC_ ) The process row over which the first
row of the array A is distributed. CSRC_A (global) DESCA( CSRC_ ) The process column over which the
first column of the array A is
distributed.
LLD_A (local) DESCA( LLD_ ) The leading dimension of the local
array. LLD_A >= MAX(1,LOCr(M_A)).

Let K be the number of rows or columns of a distributed matrix, and assume that its process grid has dimension p x q.
LOCr( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process would receive if K were distributed over the p processes of its process column.
Similarly, LOCc( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process would receive if K were distributed over the q processes of its process row.
The values of LOCr() and LOCc() may be determined via a call to the ScaLAPACK tool function, NUMROC:
LOCr( M ) = NUMROC( M, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ),
LOCc( N ) = NUMROC( N, NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ). An upper bound for these quantities may be computed by:
LOCr( M ) <= ceil( ceil(M/MB_A)/NPROW )*MB_A
LOCc( N ) <= ceil( ceil(N/NB_A)/NPCOL )*NB_A

Specifies whether the 1-norm condition number or the infinity-norm condition number is required:
= '1' or 'O': 1-norm
= 'I': Infinity-norm

The order of the distributed matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1). N >= 0.
to an array of dimension ( LLD_A, LOCc(JA+N-1) ). On entry, this array contains the local pieces of the factors L and U from the factorization A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) = P*L*U; the unit diagonal elements of L are not stored.
The row index in the global array A indicating the first row of sub( A ).
The column index in the global array A indicating the first column of sub( A ).
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix A.
If NORM = '1' or 'O', the 1-norm of the original distributed matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1). If NORM = 'I', the infinity-norm of the original distributed matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).
The reciprocal of the condition number of the distributed matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1), computed as
RCOND = 1 / ( norm( A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) ) *
norm( inv(A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)) ) ).
dimension (LWORK) On exit, WORK(1) returns the minimal and optimal LWORK.
The dimension of the array WORK. LWORK is local input and must be at least LWORK >= 2*LOCr(N+MOD(IA-1,MB_A)) + 2*LOCc(N+MOD(JA-1,NB_A)) + MAX( 2, MAX( NB_A*MAX( 1, CEIL(NPROW-1,NPCOL) ), LOCc(N+MOD(JA-1,NB_A)) + NB_A*MAX( 1, CEIL(NPCOL-1,NPROW) ) ).

LOCr and LOCc values can be computed using the ScaLAPACK tool function NUMROC; NPROW and NPCOL can be determined by calling the subroutine BLACS_GRIDINFO.

If LWORK = -1, then LWORK is global input and a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum and optimal size for all work arrays. Each of these values is returned in the first entry of the corresponding work array, and no error message is issued by PXERBLA.

dimension (LIWORK) On exit, IWORK(1) returns the minimal and optimal LIWORK.
The dimension of the array IWORK. LIWORK is local input and must be at least LIWORK >= LOCr(N+MOD(IA-1,MB_A)).

If LIWORK = -1, then LIWORK is global input and a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum and optimal size for all work arrays. Each of these values is returned in the first entry of the corresponding work array, and no error message is issued by PXERBLA.

= 0: successful exit
< 0: If the i-th argument is an array and the j-entry had an illegal value, then INFO = -(i*100+j), if the i-th argument is a scalar and had an illegal value, then INFO = -i.
