functionconditionNumber

Return the condition number norm(A)*norm(inv(A)) of a matrix A

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).

Information

Syntax

r = Matrices.conditionNumber(A);

Description

This function calculates the condition number (norm(A) * norm(inv(A))) of a general real matrix A, in either the 1-norm, 2-norm or the infinity-norm. In the case of 2-norm the result is the ratio of the largest to the smallest singular value of A. For more details, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condition_number.

Example

A = [1, 2;
     2, 1];
r = conditionNumber(A);

results in:

r = 3.0
