1 Purpose

f08spf computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a complex generalized Hermitian-definite eigenproblem, of the form
Az=λBz ,   ABz=λz   or   BAz=λz ,  
where A and B are Hermitian and B is also positive definite. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.

3 Description

f08spf first performs a Cholesky factorization of the matrix B as B=UHU , when uplo='U' or B=LLH , when uplo='L'. The generalized problem is then reduced to a standard symmetric eigenvalue problem
Cx=λx ,  
which is solved for the desired eigenvalues and eigenvectors; the eigenvectors are then backtransformed to give the eigenvectors of the original problem.
For the problem Az=λBz , the eigenvectors are normalized so that the matrix of eigenvectors, Z, satisfies
ZH A Z = Λ   and   ZH B Z = I ,  
where Λ is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues. For the problem A B z = λ z we correspondingly have
Z-1 A Z-H = Λ   and   ZH B Z = I ,  
and for B A z = λ z we have
ZH A Z = Λ   and   ZH B-1 Z = I .

Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: the n×n Hermitian matrix A.
  • If uplo='U', the upper triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
  • If uplo='L', the lower triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.

On exit: the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization B=UHU or B=LLH.
9: ldb Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array b as declared in the (sub)program from which f08spf is called.
Constraint: ldbmax(1,n).
10: vl Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

  • if range='I' and n>0, 1 il iu n .
14: abstol Real (Kind=nag_wp) 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 [a,b] of width less than or equal to
abstol+ε max(|a|,|b|) ,  
where ε is the machine precision. If abstol is less than or equal to zero, then ε T1 will be used in its place, where T is the tridiagonal matrix obtained by reducing C to tridiagonal form. Eigenvalues will be computed most accurately when abstol is set to twice the underflow threshold 2 × x02amf ( ) , not zero. If this routine returns with info=1,,n, indicating that some eigenvectors did not converge, try setting abstol to 2 × x02amf ( ) . See Demmel and Kahan (1990).
15: m Integer Output
On exit: the total number of eigenvalues found. 0mn.
If range='A', m=n.
If range='I', m=iu-il+1.
16: w(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: the first m elements contain the selected eigenvalues in ascending order.
17: z(ldz,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the second dimension of the array z must be at least max(1,m) if jobz='V'.
On exit: if jobz='V', then
  • if info=0, the first m columns of Z contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A corresponding to the selected eigenvalues, with the ith column of Z holding the eigenvector associated with w(i). The eigenvectors are normalized as follows:
    • if itype=1 or 2, ZHBZ=I;
    • if itype=3, ZHB-1Z=I;
  • if an eigenvector fails to converge (info=1,,n), then that column of Z contains the latest approximation to the eigenvector, and the index of the eigenvector is returned in jfail.
If jobz='N', z is not referenced.
Note:  you must ensure that at least max(1,m) columns are supplied in the array z; if range='V', the exact value of m is not known in advance and an upper bound of at least n must be used.
18: ldz Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array z as declared in the (sub)program from which f08spf is called.
Constraints:
  • if jobz='V', ldz max(1,n) ;
  • otherwise ldz1.
19: work(max(1,lwork)) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
On exit: if info=0, the real part of work(1) contains the minimum value of lwork required for optimal performance.
20: lwork Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08spf is called.
If lwork=-1, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the work array, returns this value as the first entry of the work array, and no error message related to lwork is issued.
Suggested value: for optimal performance, lwork(nb+1)×n, where nb is the optimal block size for f08fsf.
Constraint: lworkmax(1,2×n).
21: rwork(7×n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
22: iwork(5×n) Integer array Workspace
23: jfail(*) Integer array Output
Note: the dimension of the array jfail must be at least max(1,n).
On exit: if jobz='V', then
  • if info=0, the first m elements of jfail are zero;
  • if info=1,,n, the first info elements of jfail contains the indices of the eigenvectors that failed to converge.
If jobz='N', jfail is not referenced.
24: info Integer Output
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.
info=1,,n
The algorithm failed to converge; value eigenvectors failed to converge.
info>n
If info=n+value, for 1valuen, then the leading minor of order value of B is not positive definite. The factorization of B could not be completed and no eigenvalues or eigenvectors were computed.

7 Accuracy

If B is ill-conditioned with respect to inversion, the error bounds for the computed eigenvalues and vectors may be large, although when the diagonal elements of B differ widely in magnitude the eigenvalues and eigenvectors may be less sensitive than the condition of B would suggest. See Section 4.10 of Anderson et al. (1999) for details of the error bounds.
