## 1Purpose

f08jdc computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real $n×n$ symmetric tridiagonal matrix $T$. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.

## 2Specification

 #include
 void f08jdc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_JobType job, Nag_RangeType range, Integer n, double d[], double e[], double vl, double vu, Integer il, Integer iu, double abstol, Integer *m, double w[], double z[], Integer pdz, Integer isuppz[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f08jdc, nag_lapackeig_dstevr or nag_dstevr.

## 3Description

Whenever possible f08jdc computes the eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations. f08jdc computes eigenvalues by the dqds algorithm, while orthogonal eigenvectors are computed from various ‘good’ $LD{L}^{\mathrm{T}}$ representations (also known as Relatively Robust Representations). Gram–Schmidt orthogonalization is avoided as far as possible. More specifically, the various steps of the algorithm are as follows. For the $i$th unreduced block of $T$:
1. (a)compute $T-{\sigma }_{i}I={L}_{i}{D}_{i}{L}_{i}^{\mathrm{T}}$, such that ${L}_{i}{D}_{i}{L}_{i}^{\mathrm{T}}$ is a relatively robust representation,
2. (b)compute the eigenvalues, ${\lambda }_{j}$, of ${L}_{i}{D}_{i}{L}_{i}^{\mathrm{T}}$ to high relative accuracy by the dqds algorithm,
3. (c)if there is a cluster of close eigenvalues, ‘choose’ ${\sigma }_{i}$ close to the cluster, and go to (a),
4. (d)given the approximate eigenvalue ${\lambda }_{j}$ of ${L}_{i}{D}_{i}{L}_{i}^{\mathrm{T}}$, compute the corresponding eigenvector by forming a rank-revealing twisted factorization.
The desired accuracy of the output can be specified by the argument abstol. For more details, see Dhillon (1997) and Parlett and Dhillon (2000).

C language defined storage is specified by ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$. See Section 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

On exit: may be multiplied by a constant factor chosen to avoid over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.
7: $\mathbf{vl}$double Input
8: $\mathbf{vu}$double Input
On entry: if ${\mathbf{range}}=\mathrm{Nag_Interval}$, the lower and upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues.
If ${\mathbf{range}}=\mathrm{Nag_AllValues}$ or $\mathrm{Nag_Indices}$, vl and vu are not referenced.
Constraint: if ${\mathbf{range}}=\mathrm{Nag_Interval}$, ${\mathbf{vl}}<{\mathbf{vu}}$.

11: $\mathbf{abstol}$double Input
On entry: the absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues. An approximate eigenvalue is accepted as converged when it is determined to lie in an interval $\left[a,b\right]$ of width less than or equal to
 $abstol+ε max(|a|,|b|) ,$
where $\epsilon$ is the machine precision. If abstol is less than or equal to zero, then $\epsilon {‖T‖}_{1}$ will be used in its place. See Demmel and Kahan (1990).
If high relative accuracy is important, set abstol to , although doing so does not currently guarantee that eigenvalues are computed to high relative accuracy. See Barlow and Demmel (1990) for a discussion of which matrices can define their eigenvalues to high relative accuracy.

## 7Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix $\left(A+E\right)$, where
 $‖E‖2 = O(ε) ‖A‖2 ,$
and $\epsilon$ is the machine precision. See Section 4.7 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

## 8Parallelism and Performance

f08jdc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08jdc 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 function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to ${n}^{2}$ if ${\mathbf{job}}=\mathrm{Nag_EigVals}$ and is proportional to ${n}^{3}$ if ${\mathbf{job}}=\mathrm{Nag_DoBoth}$ and ${\mathbf{range}}=\mathrm{Nag_AllValues}$, otherwise the number of floating-point operations will depend upon the number of computed eigenvectors.
