NAME
       ZPTCON  -  compute the reciprocal of the condition number (in the 1-norm) of a complex Hermitian positive definite tridiagonal matrix using
       the factorization A = L*D*L**H or A = U**H*D*U computed by ZPTTRF

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE ZPTCON( N, D, E, ANORM, RCOND, RWORK, INFO )

	   INTEGER	  INFO, N

	   DOUBLE	  PRECISION ANORM, RCOND

	   DOUBLE	  PRECISION D( * ), RWORK( * )

	   COMPLEX*16	  E( * )

PURPOSE
       ZPTCON computes the reciprocal of the condition number (in the 1-norm) of a complex Hermitian positive definite	tridiagonal  matrix  using
       the  factorization A = L*D*L**H or A = U**H*D*U computed by ZPTTRF.  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) INTEGER
	       The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

       D       (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
	       The n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D from the factorization of A, as computed by ZPTTRF.

       E       (input) COMPLEX*16 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 ZPTTRF.

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

       RCOND   (output) 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.

       RWORK   (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)

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