NAG CL Interface
f08fsc (zhetrd)

1 Purpose

f08fsc reduces a complex Hermitian matrix to tridiagonal form.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f08fsc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Complex a[], Integer pda, double d[], double e[], Complex tau[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f08fsc, nag_lapackeig_zhetrd or nag_zhetrd.

3 Description

f08fsc reduces a complex Hermitian matrix A to real symmetric tridiagonal form T by a unitary similarity transformation: A=QTQH.
The matrix Q is not formed explicitly but is represented as a product of n-1 elementary reflectors (see the F08 Chapter Introduction for details). Functions are provided to work with Q in this representation (see Section 9).

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: uplo Nag_UploType Input
On entry: indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of A is stored.
uplo=Nag_Upper
The upper triangular part of A is stored.
uplo=Nag_Lower
The lower triangular part of A is stored.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
3: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
4: a[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least max1,pda×n.
On entry: the n by n Hermitian 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: a is overwritten by the tridiagonal matrix T and details of the unitary matrix Q as specified by uplo.
5: 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.
6: d[dim] double Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array d must be at least max1,n.
On exit: the diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T.
7: e[dim] double Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array e must be at least max1,n-1.
On exit: the off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T.
8: tau[dim] Complex Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array tau must be at least max1,n-1.
On exit: further details of the unitary matrix Q.
9: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
NE_INT
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
On entry, pda=value.
Constraint: pda>0.
NE_INT_2
On entry, pda=value and n=value.
Constraint: pdamax1,n.
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

7 Accuracy

The computed tridiagonal matrix T is exactly similar to a nearby matrix A+E, where
E2 c n ε A2 ,  
cn is a modestly increasing function of n, and ε is the machine precision.
The elements of T themselves may be sensitive to small perturbations in A or to rounding errors in the computation, but this does not affect the stability of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f08fsc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08fsc 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 real floating-point operations is approximately 163 n3 .
To form the unitary matrix Q f08fsc may be followed by a call to f08ftc :
nag_lapackeig_zungtr(order,uplo,n,&a,pda,tau,&fail)
To apply Q to an n by p complex matrix C f08fsc may be followed by a call to f08fuc . For example,
nag_lapackeig_zunmtr(order,Nag_LeftSide,uplo,Nag_NoTrans,n,p,&a,pda,
  tau,&c,pdc,&fail)
forms the matrix product QC.
The real analogue of this function is f08fec.
