1  Purpose

nag_dspevx (f08gbc) computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real n by n symmetric matrix A in packed storage. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf08.h>
void  nag_dspevx (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_JobType job, Nag_RangeType range, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, double ap[], double vl, double vu, Integer il, Integer iu, double abstol, Integer *m, double w[], double z[], Integer pdz, Integer jfail[], NagError *fail)

3  Description

The symmetric matrix A is first reduced to tridiagonal form, using orthogonal similarity transformations. The required eigenvalues and eigenvectors are then computed from the tridiagonal matrix; the method used depends upon whether all, or selected, eigenvalues and eigenvectors are required.

5  Arguments

1:     orderNag_OrderTypeInput
On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by order=Nag_RowMajor. See Section 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     jobNag_JobTypeInput
On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
job=Nag_EigVals
Only eigenvalues are computed.
job=Nag_DoBoth
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.
Constraint: job=Nag_EigVals or Nag_DoBoth.
3:     rangeNag_RangeTypeInput
On entry: if range=Nag_AllValues, all eigenvalues will be found.
If range=Nag_Interval, all eigenvalues in the half-open interval vl,vu will be found.
If range=Nag_Indices, the ilth to iuth eigenvalues will be found.
Constraint: range=Nag_AllValues, Nag_Interval or Nag_Indices.
4:     uploNag_UploTypeInput
On entry: if uplo=Nag_Upper, the upper triangular part of A is stored.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, the lower triangular part of A is stored.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
5:     nIntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
6:     ap[dim]doubleInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ap must be at least max1,n×n+1/2.
On entry: the upper or lower triangle of the n by n symmetric matrix A, packed by rows or columns.
The storage of elements Aij depends on the order and uplo arguments as follows:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor and uplo=Nag_Upper,
              Aij is stored in ap[j-1×j/2+i-1], for ij;
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor and uplo=Nag_Lower,
              Aij is stored in ap[2n-j×j-1/2+i-1], for ij;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor and uplo=Nag_Upper,
              Aij is stored in ap[2n-i×i-1/2+j-1], for ij;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor and uplo=Nag_Lower,
              Aij is stored in ap[i-1×i/2+j-1], for ij.
On exit: ap is overwritten by the values generated during the reduction to tridiagonal form. The elements of the diagonal and the off-diagonal of the tridiagonal matrix overwrite the corresponding elements of A.
7:     vldoubleInput
8:     vudoubleInput
On entry: if range=Nag_Interval, the lower and upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues.
If range=Nag_AllValues or Nag_Indices, vl and vu are not referenced.
Constraint: if range=Nag_Interval, vl<vu.
9:     ilIntegerInput
10:   iuIntegerInput
On entry: if range=Nag_Indices, the indices (in ascending order) of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned.
If range=Nag_AllValues or Nag_Interval, il and iu are not referenced.
Constraints:
  • if range=Nag_Indices and n=0, il=1 and iu=0;
  • if range=Nag_Indices and n>0, 1 il iu n .
11:   abstoldoubleInput
On entry: the absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues. An approximate eigenvalue is accepted as converged when it is determined to lie in an interval a,b  of width less than or equal to
abstol+ε maxa,b ,
where ε  is the machine precision. If abstol is less than or equal to zero, then ε T1  will be used in its place, where T is the tridiagonal matrix obtained by reducing A to tridiagonal form. Eigenvalues will be computed most accurately when abstol is set to twice the underflow threshold 2 × nag_real_safe_small_number , not zero. If this function returns with fail.code= NE_CONVERGENCE, indicating that some eigenvectors did not converge, try setting abstol to 2 × nag_real_safe_small_number . See Demmel and Kahan (1990).
12:   mInteger *Output
On exit: the total number of eigenvalues found. 0mn.
If range=Nag_AllValues, m=n.
If range=Nag_Indices, m=iu-il+1.
13:   w[n]doubleOutput
On exit: the selected eigenvalues in ascending order.
14:   z[dim]doubleOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array z must be at least
  • max1,pdz×n when job=Nag_DoBoth;
  • 1 otherwise.
The i,jth element of the matrix Z is stored in
  • z[j-1×pdz+i-1] when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • z[i-1×pdz+j-1] when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On exit: if job=Nag_DoBoth, then
  • if fail.code= NE_NOERROR, the first m columns of Z contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A corresponding to the selected eigenvalues, with the ith column of Z holding the eigenvector associated with w[i-1];
  • if an eigenvector fails to converge (fail.code= NE_CONVERGENCE), then that column of Z contains the latest approximation to the eigenvector, and the index of the eigenvector is returned in jfail.
If job=Nag_EigVals, z is not referenced.
15:   pdzIntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array z.
Constraints:
  • if job=Nag_DoBoth, pdz max1,n ;
  • otherwise pdz1.
16:   jfail[dim]IntegerOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array jfail must be at least max1,n.
On exit: if job=Nag_DoBoth, then
  • if fail.code= NE_NOERROR, the first m elements of jfail are zero;
  • if fail.code= NE_CONVERGENCE, jfail contains the indices of the eigenvectors that failed to converge.
If job=Nag_EigVals, jfail is not referenced.

7  Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix A+E, where
E2 = Oε A2 ,
and ε is the machine precision. See Section 4.7 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

8  Parallelism and Performance

nag_dspevx (f08gbc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_dspevx (f08gbc) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9  Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to n3.
