condest
1-norm condition number estimate.
📝Syntax
c = condest(A)
c = condest(A, t)
[c, v] = condest(A)
📥Input Arguments
Parameter Description
A a square numeric matrix.
t positive integer number of test vectors. Default is min(size(A, 1), 2).
📤Output Arguments
Parameter Description
c lower-bound estimate of the 1-norm condition number.
v approximate null vector associated with the estimate.
📄Description

condest estimates norm(A, 1) * norm(inv(A), 1) without explicitly forming inv(A).

The implementation uses repeated solves with A and A', which is suitable for sparse matrices.

Sparse double, sparse single, sparse double complex, and sparse single complex matrices are supported. Stored zero entries in sparse input do not contribute to the structural singularity check.

💡Examples
A = sparse([4 1 0; 2 3 1; 0 1 2]);
[c, v] = condest(A)
