PURPOSE
       PZGECON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of  a  general
       distributed complex matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1), in either the 1-norm
       or the infinity-norm, using the LU factorization computed  by  PZGETRF.
       An  estimate is obtained for norm(inv(A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1))), and the
       reciprocal of the condition number is computed as
                  RCOND = 1 / ( norm( A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)      ) *
                                norm( inv(A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)) ) ).

       Notes
       =====

       Each global data object is described by an associated description  vec-
       tor.  This vector stores the information required to establish the map-
       ping between an object element and its corresponding process and memory
       location.

       Let  A  be  a generic term for any 2D block cyclicly distributed array.
       Such a global array has an associated description vector DESCA.  In the
       following  comments,  the  character _ should be read as "of the global
       array".

       NOTATION        STORED IN      EXPLANATION
       ---------------  --------------  --------------------------------------
       DTYPE_A(global) DESCA( DTYPE_ )The descriptor type.  In this case,
                                      DTYPE_A = 1.
       CTXT_A (global) DESCA( CTXT_ ) The BLACS context handle, indicating
                                      the BLACS process grid A is distribu-
                                      ted over. The context itself is glo-
                                      bal, but the handle (the integer
                                      value) may vary.
       M_A    (global) DESCA( M_ )    The number of rows in the global
                                      array A.
       N_A    (global) DESCA( N_ )    The number of columns in the global
                                      array A.
       MB_A   (global) DESCA( MB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
                                      the rows of the array.
       NB_A   (global) DESCA( NB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
                                      the columns of the array.
       RSRC_A (global) DESCA( RSRC_ ) The process row over which the first
                                      row  of  the  array  A  is  distributed.
       CSRC_A (global) DESCA( CSRC_ ) The process column over which the
                                      first column of the array A is
                                      distributed.
       LLD_A  (local)  DESCA( LLD_ )  The leading dimension of the local
                                      array.  LLD_A >= MAX(1,LOCr(M_A)).

       Let K be the number of rows or columns of  a  distributed  matrix,  and
       assume that its process grid has dimension p x q.
       LOCr(  K  )  denotes  the  number of elements of K that a process would
       receive if K were distributed over the p processes of its process  col-
       umn.
       Similarly, LOCc( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process
       would receive if K were distributed over the q processes of its process
       row.
       The  values  of  LOCr()  and LOCc() may be determined via a call to the
       ScaLAPACK tool function, NUMROC:
               LOCr( M ) = NUMROC( M, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ),
               LOCc( N ) = NUMROC( N, NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ).  An  upper
       bound for these quantities may be computed by:
               LOCr( M ) <= ceil( ceil(M/MB_A)/NPROW )*MB_A
               LOCc( N ) <= ceil( ceil(N/NB_A)/NPCOL )*NB_A


ARGUMENTS
       NORM    (global input) CHARACTER
               Specifies  whether the 1-norm condition number or the infinity-
               norm condition number is required:
               = '1' or 'O':  1-norm
               = 'I':         Infinity-norm

       N       (global input) INTEGER
               The order of the distributed matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).   N
               >= 0.

       A       (local input) COMPLEX*16 pointer into the local memory
               to  an  array  of  dimension ( LLD_A, LOCc(JA+N-1) ). On entry,
               this array contains the local pieces of the  factors  L  and  U
               from the factorization A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) = P*L*U; the unit
               diagonal elements of L are not stored.

       IA      (global input) INTEGER
               The row index in the global array A indicating the first row of
               sub( A ).

       JA      (global input) INTEGER
               The  column  index  in  the global array A indicating the first
               column of sub( A ).

       DESCA   (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
               The array descriptor for the distributed matrix A.

       ANORM   (global input) DOUBLE PRECISION
               If NORM = '1' or 'O', the 1-norm of  the  original  distributed
               matrix  A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).   If  NORM = 'I', the infinity-
               norm of the original distributed matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).

       RCOND   (global output) DOUBLE PRECISION
               The  reciprocal  of  the  condition  number  of the distributed
               matrix A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1), computed as
               RCOND = 1 / ( norm( A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)      ) *
               norm( inv(A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)) ) ).

       WORK    (local workspace/local output) COMPLEX*16 array,
               dimension (LWORK) On exit,  WORK(1)  returns  the  minimal  and
               optimal LWORK.

       LWORK   (local or global input) INTEGER
               The dimension of the array WORK.  LWORK is local input and must
               be  at  least  LWORK  >=  2*LOCr(N+MOD(IA-1,MB_A))  +  MAX(  2,
               MAX(NB_A*CEIL(NPROW-1,NPCOL),LOCc(N+MOD(JA-1,NB_A))           +
               NB_A*CEIL(NPCOL-1,NPROW)) ).

               LOCr and LOCc values can be computed using the  ScaLAPACK  tool
               function  NUMROC;  NPROW and NPCOL can be determined by calling
               the subroutine BLACS_GRIDINFO.

               If LWORK = -1, then LWORK is global input and a workspace query
               is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum and optimal
               size for all work arrays. Each of these values is  returned  in
               the  first  entry of the corresponding work array, and no error
               message is issued by PXERBLA.

       RWORK   (local workspace/local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array,
               dimension (LRWORK) On exit, RWORK(1) returns  the  minimal  and
               optimal LRWORK.

       LRWORK  (local or global input) INTEGER
               The  dimension  of  the array RWORK.  LRWORK is local input and
               must be at least LRWORK >= 2*LOCc(N+MOD(JA-1,NB_A)).

               If LRWORK = -1, then LRWORK is global  input  and  a  workspace
               query  is  assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum and
               optimal size for all work  arrays.  Each  of  these  values  is
               returned  in  the  first entry of the corresponding work array,
               and no error message is issued by PXERBLA.

       INFO    (global output) INTEGER
               = 0:  successful exit
               < 0:  If the i-th argument is an array and the j-entry  had  an
               illegal  value, then INFO = -(i*100+j), if the i-th argument is
               a scalar and had an illegal value, then INFO = -i.
