## 1Purpose

f08spc 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.

## 2Specification

 #include
 void f08spc (Nag_OrderType order, Integer itype, Nag_JobType job, Nag_RangeType range, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Complex a[], Integer pda, Complex b[], Integer pdb, double vl, double vu, Integer il, Integer iu, double abstol, Integer *m, double w[], Complex z[], Integer pdz, Integer jfail[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f08spc, nag_lapackeig_zhegvx or nag_zhegvx.

## 3Description

f08spc first performs a Cholesky factorization of the matrix $B$ as $B={U}^{\mathrm{H}}U$, when ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Upper}$ or $B=L{L}^{\mathrm{H}}$, when ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Lower}$. 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 $Az=\lambda Bz$, the eigenvectors are normalized so that the matrix of eigenvectors, $Z$, satisfies
 $ZH A Z = Λ and ZH B Z = I ,$
where $\Lambda$ is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues. For the problem $ABz=\lambda z$ we correspondingly have
 $Z-1 A Z-H = Λ and ZH B Z = I ,$
and for $BAz=\lambda z$ we have
 $ZH A Z = Λ and ZH B-1 Z = I .$

## 7Accuracy

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.

## 8Parallelism and Performance

f08spc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08spc 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 ${n}^{3}$.
