- rcond:
-
- Syntax: cond( A )
-
- Description:
-
- Rcond computes an estimate of the condition number of the
- input matrix. rcond() uses the LAPACK routines DGECON, or
- ZGECON.
-
- Probably the most published way to compute the condition of a
- matrix is:
-
- Kcond = ||A|| * ||inv(A)||
-
- Another method is to use the 1st and last singular values of
- A:
-
- Kcond = sigma(1)/sigma(n)
-
- cond() computes an ESTIMATE of the condition number without
- computing all of the columns of inv(A). For more information
- see the LAPACK User's Guide.
