f08xaf (dgges)

Note: this routine is deprecated. Replaced by f08xcf.

1 Purpose

f08xaf computes the generalized eigenvalues, the generalized real Schur form S,T and, optionally, the left and/or right generalized Schur vectors for a pair of n by n real nonsymmetric matrices A,B . f08xaf is marked as deprecated by LAPACK; the replacement routine is f08xcf which makes better use of Level 3 BLAS.

3 Description

The generalized Schur factorization for a pair of real matrices A,B is given by
A = QSZT ,   B = QTZT ,  
where Q and Z are orthogonal, T is upper triangular and S is upper quasi-triangular with 1 by 1 and 2 by 2 diagonal blocks. The generalized eigenvalues, λ , of A,B are computed from the diagonals of S and T and satisfy
Az = λBz ,  
where z is the corresponding generalized eigenvector. λ is actually returned as the pair α,β such that
λ = α/β  
since β , or even both α and β can be zero. The columns of Q and Z are the left and right generalized Schur vectors of A,B .
Optionally, f08xaf can order the generalized eigenvalues on the diagonals of S,T so that selected eigenvalues are at the top left. The leading columns of Q and Z then form an orthonormal basis for the corresponding eigenspaces, the deflating subspaces.
f08xaf computes T to have non-negative diagonal elements, and the 2 by 2 blocks of S correspond to complex conjugate pairs of generalized eigenvalues. The generalized Schur factorization, before reordering, is computed by the QZ algorithm.

5 Arguments

1: jobvsl Character(1) Input
On entry: if jobvsl='N', do not compute the left Schur vectors.
If jobvsl='V', compute the left Schur vectors.
Constraint: jobvsl='N' or 'V'.
2: jobvsr Character(1) Input
On entry: if jobvsr='N', do not compute the right Schur vectors.
If jobvsr='V', compute the right Schur vectors.
Constraint: jobvsr='N' or 'V'.
3: sort Character(1) Input
On entry: specifies whether or not to order the eigenvalues on the diagonal of the generalized Schur form.
sort='N'
Eigenvalues are not ordered.
sort='S'
Eigenvalues are ordered (see selctg).
Constraint: sort='N' or 'S'.
4: selctg Logical Function, supplied by the user. External Procedure
If sort='S', selctg is used to select generalized eigenvalues to be moved to the top left of the generalized Schur form.
If sort='N', selctg is not referenced by f08xaf, and may be called with the dummy function f08xaz.
The specification of selctg is:
Fortran Interface
Function selctg ( ar, ai, b)
Logical :: selctg
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: ar, ai, b
C Header Interface
Nag_Boolean  selctg_ (const double *ar, const double *ai, const double *b)
1: ar Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
2: ai Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
3: b Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: an eigenvalue arj + -1 × aij / bj is selected if selctgarj,aij,bj=.TRUE. . If either one of a complex conjugate pair is selected, then both complex generalized eigenvalues are selected.
Note that in the ill-conditioned case, a selected complex generalized eigenvalue may no longer satisfy selctgarj,aij,bj=.TRUE. after ordering. info=n+2 in this case.
selctg must either be a module subprogram USEd by, or declared as EXTERNAL in, the (sub)program from which f08xaf is called. Arguments denoted as Input must not be changed by this procedure.
5: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrices A and B.
Constraint: n0.
6: alda* Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least max1,n.
On entry: the first of the pair of matrices, A.
On exit: a has been overwritten by its generalized Schur form S.
7: lda Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f08xaf is called.
Constraint: ldamax1,n.
8: bldb* Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array b must be at least max1,n.
On entry: the second of the pair of matrices, B.
On exit: b has been overwritten by its generalized Schur form T.
9: ldb Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array b as declared in the (sub)program from which f08xaf is called.
Constraint: ldbmax1,n.
10: sdim Integer Output
On exit: if sort='N', sdim=0.
If sort='S', sdim= number of eigenvalues (after sorting) for which selctg is .TRUE.. (Complex conjugate pairs for which selctg is .TRUE. for either eigenvalue count as 2.)
11: alpharn Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: see the description of beta.
12: alphain Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: see the description of beta.
13: betan Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: alpharj+alphaij×i/betaj, for j=1,2,,n, will be the generalized eigenvalues. alpharj+alphaij×i, and betaj, for j=1,2,,n, are the diagonals of the complex Schur form S,T that would result if the 2 by 2 diagonal blocks of the real Schur form of A,B were further reduced to triangular form using 2 by 2 complex unitary transformations.
If alphaij is zero, then the jth eigenvalue is real; if positive, then the jth and j+1st eigenvalues are a complex conjugate pair, with alphaij+1 negative.
Note:  the quotients alpharj/betaj and alphaij/betaj may easily overflow or underflow, and betaj may even be zero. Thus, you should avoid naively computing the ratio α/β. However, alphar and alphai will always be less than and usually comparable with A2 in magnitude, and beta will always be less than and usually comparable with B2.
14: vslldvsl* Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the second dimension of the array vsl must be at least max1,n if jobvsl='V', and at least 1 otherwise.
On exit: if jobvsl='V', vsl will contain the left Schur vectors, Q.
If jobvsl='N', vsl is not referenced.
15: ldvsl Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array vsl as declared in the (sub)program from which f08xaf is called.
Constraints:
  • if jobvsl='V', ldvsl max1,n ;
  • otherwise ldvsl1.
16: vsrldvsr* Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the second dimension of the array vsr must be at least max1,n if jobvsr='V', and at least 1 otherwise.
On exit: if jobvsr='V', vsr will contain the right Schur vectors, Z.
If jobvsr='N', vsr is not referenced.
17: ldvsr Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array vsr as declared in the (sub)program from which f08xaf is called.
Constraints:
  • if jobvsr='V', ldvsr max1,n ;
  • otherwise ldvsr1.
18: workmax1,lwork Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
On exit: if info=0, work1 contains the minimum value of lwork required for optimal performance.
19: lwork Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08xaf 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 must generally be larger than the mimimum; add, say nb×n, where nb is the optimal block size.
Constraints:
  • if n=0, lwork1;
  • otherwise lwork max8×n,6×n+16 .
20: bwork* Logical array Workspace
Note: the dimension of the array bwork must be at least 1 if sort='N', and at least max1,n otherwise.
If sort='N', bwork is not referenced.
21: 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 QZ iteration failed. No eigenvectors have been calculated but alpharj, alphaij and betaj should be correct from element value.
info=n+1
The QZ iteration failed with an unexpected error, please contact NAG.
info=n+2
After reordering, roundoff changed values of some complex eigenvalues so that leading eigenvalues in the generalized Schur form no longer satisfy selctg=.TRUE.. This could also be caused by underflow due to scaling.
info=n+3
The eigenvalues could not be reordered because some eigenvalues were too close to separate (the problem is very ill-conditioned).

7 Accuracy

The computed generalized Schur factorization satisfies
A+E = QS ZT ,   B+F = QT ZT ,  
where
E,F F = Oε A,B F  
and ε is the machine precision. See Section 4.11 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

10 Example

This example finds the generalized Schur factorization of the matrix pair A,B, where
A = 3.9 12.5 -34.5 -0.5 4.3 21.5 -47.5 7.5 4.3 21.5 -43.5 3.5 4.4 26.0 -46.0 6.0   and   B= 1.0 2.0 -3.0 1.0 1.0 3.0 -5.0 4.0 1.0 3.0 -4.0 3.0 1.0 3.0 -4.0 4.0 ,  
such that the real positive eigenvalues of A,B correspond to the top left diagonal elements of the generalized Schur form, S,T.
Note that the block size (NB) of 64 assumed in this example is not realistic for such a small problem, but should be suitable for large problems.
