f08sec (dsygst)

1 Purpose

f08sec reduces a real symmetric-definite generalized eigenproblem Az=λBz, ABz=λz or BAz=λz to the standard form Cy=λy, where A is a real symmetric matrix and B has been factorized by f07fdc.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f08sec (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_ComputeType comp_type, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, double a[], Integer pda, const double b[], Integer pdb, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f08sec, nag_lapackeig_dsygst or nag_dsygst.

3 Description

To reduce the real symmetric-definite generalized eigenproblem Az=λBz, ABz=λz or BAz=λz to the standard form Cy=λy, f08sec must be preceded by a call to f07fdc which computes the Cholesky factorization of B; B must be positive definite.
The different problem types are specified by the argument comp_type, as indicated in the table below. The table shows how C is computed by the function, and also how the eigenvectors z of the original problem can be recovered from the eigenvectors of the standard form.

5 Arguments

1: order Nag_OrderType Input
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 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2: comp_type Nag_ComputeType Input
On entry: indicates how the standard form is computed.
comp_type=Nag_Compute_1
  • if uplo=Nag_Upper, C=U-TAU-1 when order=Nag_ColMajor and C=U-1AU-T when order=Nag_RowMajor;
  • if uplo=Nag_Lower, C=L-1AL-T when order=Nag_ColMajor and C=L-TAL-1 when order=Nag_RowMajor.
comp_type=Nag_Compute_2 or Nag_Compute_3
  • if uplo=Nag_Upper, C=UAUT when order=Nag_ColMajor and C=UTAU when order=Nag_RowMajor;
  • if uplo=Nag_Lower, C=LTAL when order=Nag_ColMajor and C=LALT when order=Nag_RowMajor.
Constraint: comp_type=Nag_Compute_1, Nag_Compute_2 or Nag_Compute_3.
3: uplo Nag_UploType Input
On entry: indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of A is stored and how B has been factorized.
uplo=Nag_Upper
The upper triangular part of A is stored and B=UTU when order=Nag_ColMajor and B=UUT when order=Nag_RowMajor.
uplo=Nag_Lower
The lower triangular part of A is stored and B=LLT when order=Nag_ColMajor and B=LTL when order=Nag_RowMajor.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
4: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrices A and B.
Constraint: n0.
5: a[dim] double Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least max1,pda×n.
On entry: the n by n symmetric matrix A.
If order=Nag_ColMajor, Aij is stored in a[j-1×pda+i-1].
If order=Nag_RowMajor, Aij is stored in a[i-1×pda+j-1].
If uplo=Nag_Upper, the upper triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, the lower triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
On exit: the upper or lower triangle of a is overwritten by the corresponding upper or lower triangle of C as specified by comp_type and uplo.
6: pda Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix A in the array a.
Constraint: pdamax1,n.
7: b[dim] const double Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least max1,pdb×n.
On entry: the Cholesky factor of B as specified by uplo and returned by f07fdc.
8: pdb Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix B in the array b.
Constraint: pdbmax1,n.
9: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

7 Accuracy

Forming the reduced matrix C is a stable procedure. However it involves implicit multiplication by B-1 (if comp_type=Nag_Compute_1) or B (if comp_type=Nag_Compute_2 or Nag_Compute_3). When f08sec is used as a step in the computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the original problem, there may be a significant loss of accuracy if B is ill-conditioned with respect to inversion.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f08sec 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.

9 Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately n3.
The complex analogue of this function is f08ssc.

10 Example

This example computes all the eigenvalues of Az=λBz, where
A = 0.24 0.39 0.42 -0.16 0.39 -0.11 0.79 0.63 0.42 0.79 -0.25 0.48 -0.16 0.63 0.48 -0.03   and   B= 4.16 -3.12 0.56 -0.10 -3.12 5.03 -0.83 1.09 0.56 -0.83 0.76 0.34 -0.10 1.09 0.34 1.18 .  
Here B is symmetric positive definite and must first be factorized by f07fdc. The program calls f08sec to reduce the problem to the standard form Cy=λy; then f08fec to reduce C to tridiagonal form, and f08jfc to compute the eigenvalues.
