DPTCON computes the reciprocal of the condition number (in the


 1-norm) of a real symmetric positive definite tridiagonal matrix


 using the factorization A = L*D*L**T or A = U**T*D*U computed by


 DPTTRF.


 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))).

N

          N is INTEGER


          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

D

          D is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)


          The n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D from the


          factorization of A, as computed by DPTTRF.

E

          E is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N-1)


          The (n-1) off-diagonal elements of the unit bidiagonal factor


          U or L from the factorization of A,  as computed by DPTTRF.

ANORM

          ANORM is DOUBLE PRECISION


          The 1-norm of the original matrix A.

RCOND

          RCOND is DOUBLE PRECISION


          The reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix A,


          computed as RCOND = 1/(ANORM * AINVNM), where AINVNM is the


          1-norm of inv(A) computed in this routine.

WORK

          WORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)

INFO

          INFO is INTEGER


          = 0:  successful exit


          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
