Purpose

f08gaf (dspev) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a real n by n symmetric matrix A in packed storage.

Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine f08gaf ( jobz, uplo, n, ap, w, z, ldz, work, info)
Integer, Intent (In):: n, ldz
Integer, Intent (Out):: info
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Inout):: ap(*), z(ldz,*)
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Out):: w(n), work(3*n)
Character (1), Intent (In):: jobz, uplo
C Header Interface
#include <nagmk26.h>
void  f08gaf_ (const char *jobz, const char *uplo, const Integer *n, double ap[], double w[], double z[], const Integer *ldz, double work[], Integer *info, const Charlen length_jobz, const Charlen length_uplo)
The routine may be called by its LAPACK name dspev.

Description

The symmetric matrix A is first reduced to tridiagonal form, using orthogonal similarity transformations, and then the QR algorithm is applied to the tridiagonal matrix to compute the eigenvalues and (optionally) the eigenvectors.

Arguments

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:     uplo – Character(1)Input
On entry: if uplo='U', the upper triangular part of A is stored.
If uplo='L', the lower triangular part of A is stored.
Constraint: uplo='U' or 'L'.
3:     n – IntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
4:     ap* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the dimension 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 columns.
More precisely,
  • if uplo='U', the upper triangle of A must be stored with element Aij in api+jj-1/2 for ij;
  • if uplo='L', the lower triangle of A must be stored with element Aij in api+2n-jj-1/2 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.
5:     wn – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: the eigenvalues in ascending order.
6:     zldz* – 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', z contains the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A, with the ith column of Z holding the eigenvector associated with wi.
If jobz='N', z is not referenced.
7:     ldz – IntegerInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array z as declared in the (sub)program from which f08gaf (dspev) is called.
Constraints:
  • if jobz='V', ldz max1,n ;
  • otherwise ldz1.
8:     work3×n – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
9:     info – IntegerOutput
On exit: info=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 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.
info>0
The algorithm failed to converge; value off-diagonal elements of an intermediate tridiagonal form did not converge to zero.

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

f08gaf (dspev) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08gaf (dspev) 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 X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to n3.
The complex analogue of this routine is f08gnf (zhpev).
