numpy.linalg.
cond
(x, p=None)[source]¶ Compute the condition number of a matrix.
This function is capable of returning the condition number using one of seven different norms, depending on the value of p (see Parameters below).
Parameters: x : (…, M, N) array_like
The matrix whose condition number is sought.
p : {None, 1, -1, 2, -2, inf, -inf, ‘fro’}, optional
Order of the norm:
p norm for matrices None 2-norm, computed directly using the SVD
‘fro’ Frobenius norm inf max(sum(abs(x), axis=1)) -inf min(sum(abs(x), axis=1)) 1 max(sum(abs(x), axis=0)) -1 min(sum(abs(x), axis=0)) 2 2-norm (largest sing. value) -2 smallest singular value inf means the numpy.inf object, and the Frobenius norm is the root-of-sum-of-squares norm.
Returns: c : {float, inf}
The condition number of the matrix. May be infinite.

Notes
The condition number of x is defined as the norm of x times the norm of the inverse of x [R42]; the norm can be the usual L2-norm (root-of-sum-of-squares) or one of a number of other matrix norms.
