In the field of numerical analysis, the condition number of a function with respect to an argument measures the asymptotically worst case of how much the function can change in proportion to small changes in the argument.

A problem with a low condition number is said to be well-conditioned, while a problem with a high condition number is said to be ill-conditioned.

The condition number is a property of the problem.

As a general rule of thumb, if the condition number, then you may lose up to digits of accuracy on top of what would be lost to the numerical method due to loss of precision from arithmetic methods.

However, the condition number does not give the exact value of the maximum inaccuracy that may occur in the algorithm.

For example, the condition number associated with the linear equation

In particular, one should think of the condition number as being ( very roughly ) the rate at which the solution, x, will change with respect to a change in b. Thus, if the condition number is large, even a small error in b may cause a large error in x.

On the other hand, if the condition number is small then the error in x will not be much bigger than the error in b.

The condition number is defined more precisely to be the maximum ratio of the relative error in x divided by the relative error in b.

When the condition number is exactly one, then the algorithm may find an approximation of the solution with an arbitrary precision.

The condition number may also be infinite, in which case the algorithm will not reliably find a solution to the problem, not even a weak approximation of it ( and not even its order of magnitude ) with any reasonable and provable accuracy.

*: This number arises so often in numerical linear algebra that it is given a name, the condition number of a matrix.

*: The condition number computed with this norm is generally larger than the condition number computed with square-summable sequences, but it can be evaluated more easily ( and this is often the only measurable condition number, when the problem to solve involves a non-linear algebra, for example when approximating irrational and transcendental functions or numbers with numerical methods.

* Consider the set K of all functions ƒ: → satisfying the Lipschitz condition | ƒ ( x ) − ƒ ( y )| ≤ | x − y | for all x, y ∈.

A sufficient condition for recovering s ( t ) ( and therefore S ( ƒ )) from just these samples is that the non-zero portion of s ( t ) be confined to a known interval of duration P, which is the frequency domain dual of the Nyquist – Shannon sampling theorem.

A sufficient condition for perfect recovery is that the non-zero portion of S ( ƒ ) be confined to a known frequency interval of width 1 / T.

A necessary condition for existence of the integral is that ƒ must be locally integrable on

The Picard – Lindelöf theorem guarantees a unique solution on some interval containing t < sub > 0 </ sub > if ƒ is continuous on a region containing t < sub > 0 </ sub > and y < sub > 0 </ sub > and satifies the Lipschitz condition on the variable y.

In particular, if ƒ satisfies the condition above and has no zeros inside the unit circle then ƒ is constant ( this fact is also a consequence of the maximum principle for harmonic functions, applied to the harmonic function log (| ƒ ( z )|)).

For a set of m distinct irreducible polynomials ƒ < sub > 1 </ sub >, ..., ƒ < sub > m </ sub > with integer coefficients, an obvious necessary condition for the polynomials to generate prime values is that they satisfy Bunyakovsky's property, that there does not exist a prime number p that divides their product f ( n ) for every positive integer n. For, if not, then p can be the only prime among the values of the polynomials.

Thus, we have the condition that ƒ is a ( Hurwitz ) stable polynomial if and only if p − q = n ( the proof is given below ).

Using the Routh – Hurwitz theorem, we can replace the condition on p and q by a condition on the generalized Sturm chain, which will give in turn a condition on the coefficients of ƒ.

More generally, the continuous differentiability of ƒ can be replaced by the weaker condition that ƒ be in the Sobolev space W < sup > 1, 2 </ sup >( D ) of functions whose first-order distributional derivatives are in L < sup > 2 </ sup >( D ).
