NAME
       SSYCON  - estimate the reciprocal of the condition number (in the 1-norm) of a real symmetric matrix A using the factorization A = U*D*U**T
       or A = L*D*L**T computed by SSYTRF

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE SSYCON( UPLO, N, A, LDA, IPIV, ANORM, RCOND, WORK, IWORK, INFO )

	   CHARACTER	  UPLO

	   INTEGER	  INFO, LDA, N

	   REAL 	  ANORM, RCOND

	   INTEGER	  IPIV( * ), IWORK( * )

	   REAL 	  A( LDA, * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE
       SSYCON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number (in the 1-norm) of a real symmetric matrix A using the factorization A  =  U*D*U**T
       or  A  =  L*D*L**T computed by SSYTRF.  An estimate is obtained for norm(inv(A)), and the reciprocal of the condition number is computed as
       RCOND = 1 / (ANORM * norm(inv(A))).

ARGUMENTS
       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
	       Specifies whether the details of the factorization are stored as an upper or lower triangular matrix.  =  'U':	Upper  triangular,
	       form is A = U*D*U**T;
	       = 'L':  Lower triangular, form is A = L*D*L**T.

       N       (input) INTEGER
	       The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

       A       (input) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
	       The block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used to obtain the factor U or L as computed by SSYTRF.

       LDA     (input) INTEGER
	       The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).

       IPIV    (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
	       Details of the interchanges and the block structure of D as determined by SSYTRF.

       ANORM   (input) REAL
	       The 1-norm of the original matrix A.

       RCOND   (output) REAL
	       The  reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix A, computed as RCOND = 1/(ANORM * AINVNM), where AINVNM is an estimate of the
	       1-norm of inv(A) computed in this routine.

       WORK    (workspace) REAL array, dimension (2*N)

       IWORK	(workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)

       INFO    (output) INTEGER
	       = 0:  successful exit
	       < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
