1 Purpose

f02jcf solves the quadratic eigenvalue problem
(λ2A+λB+C) x = 0 ,  
where A, B and C are real n×n matrices.
The routine returns the 2n eigenvalues, λj, for j=1,2,,2n, and can optionally return the corresponding right eigenvectors, xj and/or left eigenvectors, yj as well as estimates of the condition numbers of the computed eigenvalues and backward errors of the computed right and left eigenvectors. A left eigenvector satisfies the equation
yH (λ2A+λB+C) = 0 ,  
where yH is the complex conjugate transpose of y.
λ is represented as the pair (α,β) , such that λ = α/β. Note that the computation of α/β may overflow and indeed β may be zero.

3 Description

The quadratic eigenvalue problem is solved by linearizing the problem and solving the resulting 2n×2n generalized eigenvalue problem. The linearization is chosen to have favourable conditioning and backward stability properties. An initial preprocessing step is performed that reveals and deflates the zero and infinite eigenvalues contributed by singular leading and trailing matrices.
The algorithm is backward stable for problems that are not too heavily damped, that is B10A·C.
Further details on the algorithm are given in Hammarling et al. (2013).

5 Arguments

1: scal Integer Input
On entry: determines the form of scaling to be performed on A, B and C.
scal=0

If jobvl='V', compute the left eigenvectors.
If sense=1, 2, 4, 5, 6 or 7, jobvl must be set to 'V'.
Constraint: jobvl='N' or 'V'.
3: jobvr Character(1) Input
On entry: if jobvr='N', do not compute right eigenvectors.
If jobvr='V', compute the right eigenvectors.

Constraint: jobvr='N' or 'V'.
4: sense Integer Input
On entry: determines whether, or not, condition numbers and backward errors are computed.
sense=0
Do not compute condition numbers, or backward errors.
sense=1
Just compute condition numbers for the eigenvalues.
sense=2
Just compute backward errors for the left eigenpairs.

Constraint: sense=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.
5: tol Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: tol is used as the tolerance for making decisions on rank in the deflation procedure. If tol is zero on entry then n × machine precision is used in place of tol, where machine precision is as returned by routine x02ajf. A diagonal element of a triangular matrix, R, is regarded as zero if |rjj| tol×size(X), or n×machine precision×size(X) when tol is zero, where size(X) is based on the size of the absolute values of the elements of the matrix X containing the matrix R. See Hammarling et al. (2013) for the motivation. If tol is -1.0 on entry then no deflation is attempted. The recommended value for tol is zero.
6: n Integer Input
On entry: the order of the matrices A, B and C.
Constraint: n0.
7: a(lda,*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least n.
On entry: the n×n matrix A.
On exit: a is used as internal workspace, but if jobvl='V' or jobvr='V', a is restored on exit.
8: lda Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f02jcf is called.
Constraint: ldan.
9: b(ldb,*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array b must be at least n.

On exit: b is used as internal workspace, but is restored on exit.
10: ldb Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array b as declared in the (sub)program from which f02jcf is called.
Constraint: ldbn.
11: c(ldc,*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

On exit: c is used as internal workspace, but if jobvl='V' or jobvr='V', c is restored on exit.
12: ldc Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array c as declared in the (sub)program from which f02jcf is called.
Constraint: ldcn.
13: alphar(2×n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: alphar(j), for j=1,2,,2n, contains the real part of αj for the jth eigenvalue pair (αj,βj) of the quadratic eigenvalue problem.
14: alphai(2×n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: alphai(j), for j=1,2,,2n, contains the imaginary part of αj for the jth eigenvalue pair (αj,βj) of the quadratic eigenvalue problem. If alphai(j) is zero then the jth eigenvalue is real; if alphai(j) is positive then the jth and (j+1)th eigenvalues are a complex conjugate pair, with alphai(j+1) negative.
15: beta(2×n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: beta(j), for j=1,2,,2n, contains the second part of the jth eigenvalue pair (αj,βj) of the quadratic eigenvalue problem, with βj0. Infinite eigenvalues have βj set to zero.
16: vl(ldvl,*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the second dimension of the array vl must be at least 2×n if jobvl='V'.
On exit: if jobvl='V', the left eigenvectors yj are stored one after another in the columns of vl, in the same order as the corresponding eigenvalues. If the jth eigenvalue is real, then yj=vl(:,j), the jth column of vl. If the jth and (j+1)th eigenvalues form a complex conjugate pair, then yj= vl(:,j) + i× vl(:,j+1) and yj+1 = vl(:,j) -i × vl(:,j+1) . Each eigenvector will be normalized with length unity and with the element of largest modulus real and positive.
If jobvl='N', vl is not referenced.
17: ldvl Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array vl as declared in the (sub)program from which f02jcf is called.
Constraint: ldvln.
18: vr(ldvr,*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the second dimension of the array vr must be at least 2×n if jobvr='V'.
On exit: if jobvr='V', the right eigenvectors xj are stored one after another in the columns of vr, in the same order as the corresponding eigenvalues. If the jth eigenvalue is real, then xj = vr(:,j) , the jth column of vr. If the jth and (j+1)th eigenvalues form a complex conjugate pair, then xj = vr(:,j) +i× vr(:,j+1) and xj+1= vr(:,j) -i× vr(:,j+1) . Each eigenvector will be normalized with length unity and with the element of largest modulus real and positive.
If jobvr='N', vr is not referenced.
19: ldvr Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array vr as declared in the (sub)program from which f02jcf is called.
Constraint: ldvrn.
20: s(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the dimension of the array s must be at least 2×n if sense=1, 5, 6 or 7.
also: computing the condition numbers of the eigenvalues requires that both the left and right eigenvectors be computed.
On exit: if sense=1, 5, 6 or 7, s(j) contains the condition number estimate for the jth eigenvalue (large condition numbers imply that the problem is near one with multiple eigenvalues). Infinite condition numbers are returned as the largest model real number (x02alf).
If sense=0, 2, 3 or 4, s is not referenced.
21: bevl(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the dimension of the array bevl must be at least 2×n if sense=2, 4, 5 or 7.
On exit: if sense=2, 4, 5 or 7, bevl(j) contains the backward error estimate for the computed left eigenpair (λj,yj) .
If sense=0, 1, 3 or 6, bevl is not referenced.
22: bevr(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the dimension of the array bevr must be at least 2×n if sense=3, 4, 6 or 7.
On exit: if sense=3, 4, 6 or 7, bevr(j) contains the backward error estimate for the computed right eigenpair (λj,xj) .
If sense=0, 1, 2 or 5, bevr is not referenced.
23: iwarn Integer Output
On exit: iwarn will be positive if there are warnings, otherwise iwarn will be 0.
If ifail=0 then:
  • if iwarn=1 then one, or both, of the matrices A and C is zero. In this case no scaling is performed, even if scal>0;
  • if iwarn=2 then the matrices A and C are singular, or nearly singular, so the problem is potentially ill-posed;
  • if iwarn=3 then both the conditions for iwarn=1 and iwarn=2 above, apply. If iwarn=4, b10A·C and backward stability cannot be guaranteed.
If ifail=2, iwarn returns the value of info from f08xcf.
If ifail=3, iwarn returns the value of info from f08wcf.
24: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of -1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).
