rank - rank

### Calling Sequence

  `[i]=rank(X)`
  `[i]=rank(X,tol)`

### Parameters

- `X`: real or complex matrix
- `tol`: nonnegative real number

### Description

`rank(X)` is the numerical rank of `X` i.e. the number of singular values of X that are larger than `norm(size(X),'inf') * norm(X) * %eps`.

`rank(X,tol)` is the number of singular values of `X` that are larger than `tol`.

Note that the default value of `tol` is proportional to `norm(X)`. As a consequence `rank([1.d-80,0;0,1.d-80])` is 2 !.

### Examples

    rank([1.d-80,0;0,1.d-80])
    rank([1,0;0,1.d-80])
