1  Purpose

F08UEF (DSBGST) reduces a real symmetric-definite generalized eigenproblem Az=λBz to the standard form Cy=λy, where A and B are band matrices, A is a real symmetric matrix, and B has been factorized by F08UFF (DPBSTF).

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F08UEF ( VECT, UPLO, N, KA, KB, AB, LDAB, BB, LDBB, X, LDX, WORK, INFO)
INTEGER  N, KA, KB, LDAB, LDBB, LDX, INFO
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  AB(LDAB,*), BB(LDBB,*), X(LDX,*), WORK(2*N)
CHARACTER(1)  VECT, UPLO
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name dsbgst.

3  Description

To reduce the real symmetric-definite generalized eigenproblem Az=λBz to the standard form Cy=λy, where A, B and C are banded, F08UEF (DSBGST) must be preceded by a call to F08UFF (DPBSTF) which computes the split Cholesky factorization of the positive definite matrix B: B=STS. The split Cholesky factorization, compared with the ordinary Cholesky factorization, allows the work to be approximately halved.
This routine overwrites A with C=XTAX, where X=S-1Q and Q is a orthogonal matrix chosen (implicitly) to preserve the bandwidth of A. The routine also has an option to allow the accumulation of X, and then, if z is an eigenvector of C, Xz is an eigenvector of the original system.

5  Parameters

1:     VECT – CHARACTER(1)Input

VECT='N'
X is not returned.
VECT='V'

6:     AB(LDAB,*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array AB must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the upper or lower triangle of the n by n symmetric band matrix A.
The matrix is stored in rows 1 to ka+1, more precisely,
  • if UPLO='U', the elements of the upper triangle of A within the band must be stored with element Aij in ABka+1+i-jj​ for ​max1,j-kaij;
  • if UPLO='L', the elements of the lower triangle of A within the band must be stored with element Aij in AB1+i-jj​ for ​jiminn,j+ka.
On exit: the upper or lower triangle of AB is overwritten by the corresponding upper or lower triangle of C as specified by UPLO.
7:     LDAB – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array AB as declared in the (sub)program from which F08UEF (DSBGST) is called.
Constraint: LDABKA+1.
8:     BB(LDBB,*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the second dimension of the array BB must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the banded split Cholesky factor of B as specified by UPLO, N and KB and returned by F08UFF (DPBSTF).
9:     LDBB – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array BB as declared in the (sub)program from which F08UEF (DSBGST) is called.
Constraint: LDBBKB+1.
10:   X(LDX,*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the second dimension of the array X must be at least max1,N if VECT='V' and at least 1 if VECT='N'.
On exit: the n by n matrix X=S-1Q, if VECT='V'.
If VECT='N', X is not referenced.
11:   LDX – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array X as declared in the (sub)program from which F08UEF (DSBGST) is called.
Constraints:
  • if VECT='V', LDX max1,N ;
  • if VECT='N', LDX1.
12:   WORK(2×N) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
13:   INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit: INFO=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

INFO<0
If INFO=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

7  Accuracy

Forming the reduced matrix C is a stable procedure. However it involves implicit multiplication by B-1. When F08UEF (DSBGST) is used as a step in the computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the original problem, there may be a significant loss of accuracy if B is ill-conditioned with respect to inversion.

8  Further Comments

The total number of floating point operations is approximately 6n2kB, when VECT='N', assuming nkA,kB; there are an additional 3/2n3kB/kA operations when VECT='V'.
The complex analogue of this routine is F08USF (ZHBGST).

9  Example

This example computes all the eigenvalues of Az=λBz, where
A = 0.24 0.39 0.42 0.00 0.39 -0.11 0.79 0.63 0.42 0.79 -0.25 0.48 0.00 0.63 0.48 -0.03   and  B= 2.07 0.95 0.00 0.00 0.95 1.69 -0.29 0.00 0.00 -0.29 0.65 -0.33 0.00 0.00 -0.33 1.17 .
Here A is symmetric, B is symmetric positive definite, and A and B are treated as band matrices. B must first be factorized by F08UFF (DPBSTF). The program calls F08UEF (DSBGST) to reduce the problem to the standard form Cy=λy, then F08HEF (DSBTRD) to reduce C to tridiagonal form, and F08JFF (DSTERF) to compute the eigenvalues.
