# NAG FL Interfacef08fcf (dsyevd)

## 1Purpose

f08fcf computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix. If the eigenvectors are requested, then it uses a divide-and-conquer algorithm to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors. However, if only eigenvalues are required, then it uses the Pal–Walker–Kahan variant of the $QL$ or $QR$ algorithm.

The routine may be called by the names f08fcf, nagf_lapackeig_dsyevd or its LAPACK name dsyevd.

## 3Description

f08fcf computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix $A$. In other words, it can compute the spectral factorization of $A$ as
 $A=ZΛZT,$
where $\Lambda$ is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues ${\lambda }_{i}$, and $Z$ is the orthogonal matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors ${z}_{i}$. Thus
 $Azi=λizi, i=1,2,…,n.$

## 5Arguments

1: $\mathbf{job}$Character(1) Input
On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
${\mathbf{job}}=\text{'N'}$
Only eigenvalues are computed.
${\mathbf{job}}=\text{'V'}$
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{job}}=\text{'N'}$ or $\text{'V'}$.
2: $\mathbf{uplo}$Character(1) Input
On entry: indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.
${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$
The upper triangular part of $A$ is stored.
${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'L'}$
The lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$ or $\text{'L'}$.
3: $\mathbf{n}$Integer Input
On entry: $n$, the order of the matrix $A$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{n}}\ge 0$.
4: $\mathbf{a}\left({\mathbf{lda}},*\right)$Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$.
On entry: the $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix $A$.
• If ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$, the upper triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
• If ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'L'}$, the lower triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
On exit: if ${\mathbf{job}}=\text{'V'}$, a is overwritten by the orthogonal matrix $Z$ which contains the eigenvectors of $A$.
5: $\mathbf{lda}$Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f08fcf is called.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{lda}}\ge \mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$.
6: $\mathbf{w}\left(*\right)$Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the dimension of the array w must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$.
On exit: the eigenvalues of the matrix $A$ in ascending order.
7: $\mathbf{work}\left(\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{lwork}}\right)\right)$Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
On exit: if ${\mathbf{info}}={\mathbf{0}}$, ${\mathbf{work}}\left(1\right)$ contains the required minimal size of lwork.
8: $\mathbf{lwork}$Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08fcf is called.
If ${\mathbf{lwork}}=-1$, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum dimension of the work array, returns this value as the first entry of the work array, and no error message related to lwork is issued.
Constraints:
• if ${\mathbf{n}}\le 1$, ${\mathbf{lwork}}\ge 1$ or ${\mathbf{lwork}}=-1$;
• if ${\mathbf{job}}=\text{'N'}$ and ${\mathbf{n}}>1$, ${\mathbf{lwork}}\ge 2×{\mathbf{n}}+1$ or ${\mathbf{lwork}}=-1$;
• if ${\mathbf{job}}=\text{'V'}$ and ${\mathbf{n}}>1$, ${\mathbf{lwork}}\ge 2×{{\mathbf{n}}}^{2}+6×{\mathbf{n}}+1$ or ${\mathbf{lwork}}=-1$.
9: $\mathbf{iwork}\left(\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{liwork}}\right)\right)$Integer array Workspace
On exit: if ${\mathbf{info}}={\mathbf{0}}$, ${\mathbf{iwork}}\left(1\right)$ contains the required minimal size of liwork.
10: $\mathbf{liwork}$Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array iwork as declared in the (sub)program from which f08fcf is called.
If ${\mathbf{liwork}}=-1$, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum dimension of the iwork array, returns this value as the first entry of the iwork array, and no error message related to liwork is issued.
Constraints:
• if ${\mathbf{n}}\le 1$, ${\mathbf{liwork}}\ge 1$ or ${\mathbf{liwork}}=-1$;
• if ${\mathbf{job}}=\text{'N'}$ and ${\mathbf{n}}>1$, ${\mathbf{liwork}}\ge 1$ or ${\mathbf{liwork}}=-1$;
• if ${\mathbf{job}}=\text{'V'}$ and ${\mathbf{n}}>1$, ${\mathbf{liwork}}\ge 5×{\mathbf{n}}+3$ or ${\mathbf{liwork}}=-1$.
11: $\mathbf{info}$Integer Output
On exit: ${\mathbf{info}}=0$ unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

## 6Error Indicators and Warnings

${\mathbf{info}}<0$
If ${\mathbf{info}}=-i$, argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
${\mathbf{info}}>0$
If ${\mathbf{info}}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and ${\mathbf{job}}=\text{'N'}$, the algorithm failed to converge; $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ elements of an intermediate tridiagonal form did not converge to zero; if ${\mathbf{info}}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and ${\mathbf{job}}=\text{'V'}$, then the algorithm failed to compute an eigenvalue while working on the submatrix lying in rows and column $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉/\left({\mathbf{n}}+1\right)$ through .

## 7Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix $\left(A+E\right)$, where
 $E2 = Oε A2 ,$
and $\epsilon$ is the machine precision. See Section 4.7 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

## 8Parallelism and Performance

f08fcf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08fcf 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 routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

The complex analogue of this routine is f08fqf.
