1  Purpose

nag_dstegr (f08jlc) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a real n by n symmetric tridiagonal matrix.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf08.h>
void  nag_dstegr (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_JobType job, Nag_RangeType range, Integer n, double d[], double e[], double vl, double vu, Integer il, Integer iu, Integer *m, double w[], double z[], Integer pdz, Integer isuppz[], NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_dstegr (f08jlc) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, the eigenvectors, of a real symmetric tridiagonal matrix T. That is, the function computes the spectral factorization of T given by
T = ZΛZT ,
where Λ is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues, λi, of T and Z is an orthogonal matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors, zi, of T. Thus
Tzi= λi zi ,   i = 1,2,,n .
The function may also be used to compute all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix A which has been reduced to tridiagonal form T:
A =QTQT, where ​Q​ is orthogonal =QZΛQZT.
In this case, the matrix Q must be explicitly applied to the output matrix Z. The functions which must be called to perform the reduction to tridiagonal form and apply Q are:
full matrix nag_dsytrd (f08fec) and nag_dormtr (f08fgc)
full matrix, packed storage nag_dsptrd (f08gec) and nag_dopmtr (f08ggc)
band matrix nag_dsbtrd (f08hec) with vect=Nag_FormQ and nag_dgemm (f16yac).
This function uses the dqds and the Relatively Robust Representation algorithms to compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors respectively; see for example Parlett and Dhillon (2000) and Dhillon and Parlett (2004) for further details. nag_dstegr (f08jlc) can usually compute all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors in On2 floating-point operations and so, for large matrices, is often considerably faster than the other symmetric tridiagonal functions in this chapter when all the eigenvectors are required, particularly so compared to those functions that are based on the QR algorithm.
