+## Estimate the 1-norm condition number of a matrix @var{A}
+## using @var{t} test vectors using a randomized 1-norm estimator.
+## If @var{t} exceeds 5, then only 5 test vectors are used.
+##
+## If the matrix is not explicit, e.g., when estimating the condition
+## number of @var{A} given an LU@tie{}factorization, @code{condest} uses the
+## following functions:
+##
+## @table @var
+## @item apply
+## @code{A*x} for a matrix @code{x} of size @var{n} by @var{t}.
+##
+## @item apply_t
+## @code{A'*x} for a matrix @code{x} of size @var{n} by @var{t}.
+##
+## @item solve
+## @code{A \ b} for a matrix @code{b} of size @var{n} by @var{t}.
+##
+## @item solve_t
+## @code{A' \ b} for a matrix @code{b} of size @var{n} by @var{t}.
+## @end table
+##
+## The implicit version requires an explicit dimension @var{n}.
+##
+## @code{condest} uses a randomized algorithm to approximate
+## the 1-norms.
+##
+## @code{condest} returns the 1-norm condition estimate @var{est} and
+## a vector @var{v} satisfying @code{norm (A*v, 1) == norm (A, 1) * norm
+## (@var{v}, 1) / @var{est}}. When @var{est} is large, @var{v} is an
+## approximate null vector.
