Description

A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices A,B is a scalar λ or a ratio α/β=λ, such that A-λB is singular. It is usually represented as the pair α,β, as there is a reasonable interpretation for β=0, and even for both being zero.
The right generalized eigenvector vj corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue λj of A,B satisfies
A vj = λj B vj .  
The left generalized eigenvector uj corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue λj of A,B satisfies
ujH A = λj ujH B ,  
where ujH is the conjugate-transpose of uj.
All the eigenvalues and, if required, all the eigenvectors of the complex generalized eigenproblem Ax=λBx, where A and B are complex, square matrices, are determined using the QZ algorithm. The complex QZ algorithm consists of three stages:
1. A is reduced to upper Hessenberg form (with real, non-negative subdiagonal elements) and at the same time B is reduced to upper triangular form.
2. A is further reduced to triangular form while the triangular form of B is maintained and the diagonal elements of B are made real and non-negative. This is the generalized Schur form of the pair A,B .
This function does not actually produce the eigenvalues λj, but instead returns αj and βj such that
λj=αj/βj,  j=1,2,,n.  
The division by βj becomes your responsibility, since βj may be zero, indicating an infinite eigenvalue.
3. If the eigenvectors are required they are obtained from the triangular matrices and then transformed back into the original coordinate system.

Arguments

1:     order Nag_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 3.3.1.3 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     jobvl Nag_LeftVecsTypeInput
On entry: if jobvl=Nag_NotLeftVecs, do not compute the left generalized eigenvectors.
If jobvl=Nag_LeftVecs, compute the left generalized eigenvectors.
Constraint: jobvl=Nag_NotLeftVecs or Nag_LeftVecs.
3:     jobvr Nag_RightVecsTypeInput
On entry: if jobvr=Nag_NotRightVecs, do not compute the right generalized eigenvectors.
If jobvr=Nag_RightVecs, compute the right generalized eigenvectors.
Constraint: jobvr=Nag_NotRightVecs or Nag_RightVecs.
4:     n IntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrices A and B.
Constraint: n0.
5:     a[dim] ComplexInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least max1,pda×n.
The i,jth element of the matrix A is stored in
  • a[j-1×pda+i-1] when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • a[i-1×pda+j-1] when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On entry: the matrix A in the pair A,B.
On exit: a has been overwritten.
6:     pda IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.
Constraint: pdamax1,n.
7:     b[dim] ComplexInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least max1,pdb×n.
The i,jth element of the matrix B is stored in
  • b[j-1×pdb+i-1] when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • b[i-1×pdb+j-1] when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On entry: the matrix B in the pair A,B.
On exit: b has been overwritten.
8:     pdb IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array b.
Constraint: pdbmax1,n.
9:     alpha[n] ComplexOutput
On exit: see the description of beta.
10:   beta[n] ComplexOutput
On exit: alpha[j-1]/beta[j-1], for j=1,2,,n, will be the generalized eigenvalues.
Note:  the quotients alpha[j-1]/beta[j-1] may easily overflow or underflow, and beta[j-1] may even be zero. Thus, you should avoid naively computing the ratio αj/βj. However, maxαj will always be less than and usually comparable with A2 in magnitude, and maxβj will always be less than and usually comparable with B2.
11:   vl[dim] ComplexOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array vl must be at least
  • max1,pdvl×n when jobvl=Nag_LeftVecs;
  • 1 otherwise.
The ith element of the jth vector is stored in
  • vl[j-1×pdvl+i-1] when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • vl[i-1×pdvl+j-1] when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On exit: if jobvl=Nag_LeftVecs, the left generalized eigenvectors uj are stored one after another in the columns of vl, in the same order as the corresponding eigenvalues. Each eigenvector will be scaled so the largest component will have real part+imag. part=1.
If jobvl=Nag_NotLeftVecs, vl is not referenced.
12:   pdvl IntegerInput
On entry: the stride used in the array vl.
Constraints:
  • if jobvl=Nag_LeftVecs, pdvl max1,n ;
  • otherwise pdvl1.
13:   vr[dim] ComplexOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array vr must be at least
  • max1,pdvr×n when jobvr=Nag_RightVecs;

The ith element of the jth vector is stored in
  • vr[j-1×pdvr+i-1] when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • vr[i-1×pdvr+j-1] when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On exit: if jobvr=Nag_RightVecs, the right generalized eigenvectors vj are stored one after another in the columns of vr, in the same order as the corresponding eigenvalues. Each eigenvector will be scaled so the largest component will have real part+imag. part=1.
If jobvr=Nag_NotRightVecs, vr is not referenced.
14:   pdvr IntegerInput
On entry: the stride used in the array vr.
Constraints:
  • if jobvr=Nag_RightVecs, pdvr max1,n ;

Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for nearby matrices A+E and B+F, where
E,F F = Oε A,B F ,  
and ε is the machine precision. See Section 4.11 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
Note:  interpretation of results obtained with the QZ algorithm often requires a clear understanding of the effects of small changes in the original data. These effects are reviewed in Wilkinson (1979), in relation to the significance of small values of αj and βj. It should be noted that if αj and βj are both small for any j, it may be that no reliance can be placed on any of the computed eigenvalues λi=αi/βi. You are recommended to study Wilkinson (1979) and, if in difficulty, to seek expert advice on determining the sensitivity of the eigenvalues to perturbations in the data.
