1  Purpose

F08JAF (DSTEV) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a real n by n symmetric tridiagonal matrix A.

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F08JAF ( JOBZ, N, D, E, Z, LDZ, WORK, INFO)
INTEGER  N, LDZ, INFO
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  D(*), E(*), Z(LDZ,*), WORK(*)
CHARACTER(1)  JOBZ
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name dstev.

3  Description

F08JAF (DSTEV) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of A using a combination of the QR and QL algorithms, with an implicit shift.

5  Parameters

1:     JOBZ – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
JOBZ='N'
Only eigenvalues are computed.
JOBZ='V'
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.
Constraint: JOBZ='N' or 'V'.
2:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix.
Constraint: N0.
3:     D(*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the dimension of the array D must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the n diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.
On exit: if INFO=0, the eigenvalues in ascending order.
4:     E(*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the dimension of the array E must be at least max1,N-1.
On entry: the n-1 subdiagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.
On exit: the contents of E are destroyed.
5:     Z(LDZ,*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the second dimension of the array Z must be at least max1,N if JOBZ='V', and at least 1 otherwise.
On exit: if JOBZ='V', then if INFO=0, Z contains the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A, with the ith column of Z holding the eigenvector associated with Di.
If JOBZ='N', Z is not referenced.
6:     LDZ – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array Z as declared in the (sub)program from which F08JAF (DSTEV) is called.
Constraints:
  • if JOBZ='V', LDZ max1,N ;
  • otherwise LDZ1.
7:     WORK(*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
Note: the dimension of the array WORK must be at least max1,2×N-2.
On exit: if JOBZ='N', WORK is not referenced.
8:     INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit: INFO=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
INFO<0
If INFO=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
INFO>0
If INFO=i, the algorithm failed to converge; i off-diagonal elements of E did not converge to zero.

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  Further Comments

The total number of floating point operations is proportional to n2 if JOBZ='N' and is proportional to n3 if JOBZ='V'.

9  Example

This example finds all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the symmetric tridiagonal matrix
A = 1 1 0 0 1 4 2 0 0 2 9 3 0 0 3 16 ,
together with approximate error bounds for the computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
