#include <sunperf.h>
void sptcon(int n, float *d, float *e, float anorm, float *rcond, int

long *info);
PURPOSEsptcon computes the reciprocal of the condition number (in the 1-norm)
of a real symmetric positive definite tridiagonal matrix using the fac‐
torization A = L*D*L**T or A = U**T*D*U computed by SPTTRF.
Norm(inv(A)) is computed by a direct method, and the reciprocal of the
condition number is computed as
RCOND = 1 / (ANORM * norm(inv(A))).
ARGUMENTS
N (input) The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
D (input) The n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D from the
factorization of A, as computed by SPTTRF.
E (input) The (n-1) off-diagonal elements of the unit bidiagonal factor
U or L from the factorization of A, as computed by SPTTRF.
ANORM (input)
The 1-norm of the original matrix A.
RCOND (output)
The reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix A, com‐
puted as RCOND = 1/(ANORM * AINVNM), where AINVNM is the
1-norm of inv(A) computed in this routine.
WORK (workspace)
dimension(N)
INFO (output)
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
