3 Description

The Hermitian matrix is first reduced to a real tridiagonal matrix T, using unitary similarity transformations. Then whenever possible, f08frf computes the eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations. f08frf computes eigenvalues by the dqds algorithm, while orthogonal eigenvectors are computed from various ‘good’ LDLT representations (also known as Relatively Robust Representations). Gram–Schmidt orthogonalization is avoided as far as possible. More specifically, the various steps of the algorithm are as follows. For the ith unreduced block of T:
  1. (a)compute T - σi I = Li Di LiT , such that Li Di LiT is a relatively robust representation,
  2. (b)compute the eigenvalues, λj, of Li Di LiT to high relative accuracy by the dqds algorithm,
  3. (c)if there is a cluster of close eigenvalues, ‘choose’ σi close to the cluster, and go to (a),
  4. (d)given the approximate eigenvalue λj of Li Di LiT , compute the corresponding eigenvector by forming a rank-revealing twisted factorization.
The desired accuracy of the output can be specified by the argument abstol. For more details, see Dhillon (1997) and Parlett and Dhillon (2000).

5 Arguments

1: jobz Character(1) Input
On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
jobz='N'
Only eigenvalues are computed.
jobz='V'
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.
Constraint: jobz='N' or 'V'.
2: range Character(1) Input
On entry: if range='A', all eigenvalues will be found.
If range='V', all eigenvalues in the half-open interval (vl,vu] will be found.
If range='I', the ilth to iuth eigenvalues will be found.
For range='V' or 'I' and iu-il<n-1, f08jjf and f08jxf are called.
Constraint: range='A', 'V' or 'I'.
3: uplo Character(1) Input
On entry: if uplo='U', the upper triangular part of A is stored.
If uplo='L', the lower triangular part of A is stored.
Constraint: uplo='U' or 'L'.
4: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
5: a(lda,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: the n×n Hermitian matrix A.
  • If uplo='U', the upper triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
  • If uplo='L', the lower triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
On exit: the lower triangle (if uplo='L') or the upper triangle (if uplo='U') of a, including the diagonal, is overwritten.
6: lda Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f08frf is called.
Constraint: ldamax(1,n).
7: vl Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
8: vu Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: if range='V', the lower and upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues.
If range='A' or 'I', vl and vu are not referenced.
Constraint: if range='V', vl<vu.
9: il Integer Input
10: iu Integer Input
On entry: if range='I', il and iu specify the indices (in ascending order) of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned, respectively.
If range='A' or 'V', il and iu are not referenced.
Constraints:
  • if range='I' and n=0, il=1 and iu=0;
  • if range='I' and n>0, 1 il iu n .
11: abstol Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues. An approximate eigenvalue is accepted as converged when it is determined to lie in an interval [a,b] of width less than or equal to
abstol+ε max(|a|,|b|) ,  
where ε is the machine precision. If abstol is less than or equal to zero, then ε T1 will be used in its place, where T is the real tridiagonal matrix obtained by reducing A to tridiagonal form. See Demmel and Kahan (1990).
If high relative accuracy is important, set abstol to x02amf( ) , although doing so does not currently guarantee that eigenvalues are computed to high relative accuracy. See Barlow and Demmel (1990) for a discussion of which matrices can define their eigenvalues to high relative accuracy.
12: m Integer Output
On exit: the total number of eigenvalues found. 0mn.
If range='A', m=n.
If range='I', m=iu-il+1.
13: w(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the dimension of the array w must be at least max(1,n).
On exit: the first m elements contain the selected eigenvalues in ascending order.
14: z(ldz,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the second dimension of the array z must be at least max(1,m) if jobz='V', and at least 1 otherwise.
On exit: if jobz='V', the first m columns of Z contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A corresponding to the selected eigenvalues, with the ith column of Z holding the eigenvector associated with w(i).
If jobz='N', z is not referenced.
Note:  you must ensure that at least max(1,m) columns are supplied in the array z; if range='V', the exact value of m is not known in advance and an upper bound of at least n must be used.

On entry: the first dimension of the array z as declared in the (sub)program from which f08frf is called.
Constraints:
  • if jobz='V', ldz max(1,n) ;
  • otherwise ldz1.
16: isuppz(*) Integer array Output
Note: the dimension of the array isuppz must be at least max(1,2×m).
On exit: the support of the eigenvectors in z, i.e., the indices indicating the nonzero elements in z. The ith eigenvector is nonzero only in elements isuppz(2×i-1) through isuppz(2×i). Implemented only for range='A' or range='I' and iu-il=n-1.
17: work(max(1,lwork)) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
On exit: if info=0, the real part of work(1) contains the minimum value of lwork required for optimal performance.
18: lwork Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08frf is called.
If lwork=−1, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal sizes of the work, rwork and iwork arrays, returns these values as the first entries of the work, rwork and iwork arrays, and no error message related to lwork, lrwork or liwork is issued.
Suggested value: for optimal performance, lwork(nb+1)×n, where nb is the largest optimal block size for f08fsf and for f08fuf.
Constraint: lworkmax(1,2×n) or lwork=−1.
19: rwork(max(1,lrwork)) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
On exit: if info=0, rwork(1) returns the optimal (and minimal) lrwork.
20: lrwork Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array rwork as declared in the (sub)program from which f08frf is called.
If lrwork=−1, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal sizes of the work, rwork and iwork arrays, returns these values as the first entries of the work, rwork and iwork arrays, and no error message related to lwork, lrwork or liwork is issued.
Constraint: lrworkmax(1,24×n) or lrwork=−1.

info>0
f08frf failed to converge.

7 Accuracy

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

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f08frf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08frf 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.

9 Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to n3.
