1 Purpose

f12jjc is an iterative solver used to find some of the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors of a standard or generalized eigenvalue problem defined by real symmetric matrices. This is part of a suite of functions that also includes f12jac, f12jbc and f12jec.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f12jjc (void *handle, Integer *irevcm, Complex *ze, Integer n, double x[], Integer pdx, Complex y[], Integer pdy, Integer *m0, Integer *nconv, double d[], double z[], Integer pdz, double *eps, Integer *iter, double resid[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f12jjc or nag_sparseig_feast_real_symm_solve.

3 Description

The suite of functions is designed to calculate some of the eigenvalues, λ , and the corresponding eigenvectors, x , of a standard eigenvalue problem Ax = λx , or of a generalized eigenvalue problem Ax = λBx , where the coefficient matrices A and B are sparse, real symmetric, and B is positive definite. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale, dense, real symmetric problems.
f12jjc is a reverse communication function, based on the FEAST eigensolver, described in Polizzi (2009), which finds eigenvalues using contour integration. Prior to calling f12jjc, the contour definition function f12jec is used to specify a search interval on the real line, [Emin,Emax], within which eigenvalues will be sought (note that the eigenvalues of real symmetric eigenproblems are themselves real). f12jec uses this interval to define nodes and weights for an elliptical contour to be used by f12jjc.
The setup function f12jac and the contour definition function f12jec must be called before f12jjc. Between the calls to f12jac and f12jec, options may be set by calls to the option setting function f12jbc.
f12jjc uses reverse communication, i.e., it returns repeatedly to the calling program with the argument irevcm (see Section 5) set to specified values which require the calling program to carry out one of the following tasks:
The number of contour points, the number of iterations, and other options can all be set using the option setting function f12jbc (see Section 11.1 in f12jbc for details on setting options and of the default settings). The search contour itself is defined by a call to f12jec.

5 Arguments

Note: this function uses reverse communication. Its use involves an initial entry, intermediate exits and re-entries, and a final exit, as indicated by the argument irevcm. Between intermediate exits and re-entries, all arguments other than x and y must remain unchanged.
1: handle void * Input
On entry: the handle to the internal data structure used by the NAG FEAST suite. It needs to be initialized by f12jac. It must not be changed between calls to the NAG FEAST suite.
2: irevcm Integer * Input/Output
On initial entry: irevcm=0, otherwise an error condition will be raised.
On intermediate re-entry: must be unchanged from its previous exit value. Changing irevcm to any other value between calls will result in an error.
On intermediate exit: has the following meanings.
irevcm=1
The calling program must compute a factorization of the matrix ze B-A suitable for solving a linear system, for example using f07nrc which computes the Bunch–Kaufman factorization. All arguments to the routine must remain unchanged.
Note:  the factorization can be computed in single precision.
irevcm=2
The calling program must compute the solution to the linear system (zeB-A)w=y, overwriting y with the result w. The matrix ze B-A has previously been factorized (when irevcm=1 was returned) and this factorization can be reused here.
Note:  the solve can be performed in single precision.
irevcm=3
The calling program must compute Az, storing the result in x.
irevcm=4
The calling program must compute Bz, storing the result in x. If a standard eigenproblem is being solved (so that B=I) then the calling program should set x=z.
On final exit: irevcm=0: f12jjc has completed its tasks. The value of fail determines whether the iteration has been successfully completed, or whether errors have been detected.
Constraint: on initial entry, irevcm=0; on re-entry irevcm must remain unchanged.
Note: the matrices x, y and z referred to in this section are all of size n×m0 and are stored in the arrays x, y and z, respectively.
Note: any values you return to f12jjc as part of the reverse communication procedure should not include floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by f12jjc. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, f12jjc is likely to produce unexpected results.
3: ze Complex * Input/Output
On initial entry: need not be set.
On intermediate exit: contains the current point on the contour.
  • If irevcm=1, then this must be used by the calling program to form a factorization of the matrix ze B-A.
4: n Integer Input
On entry: the order of the matrix A (and the order of the matrix B for the generalized problem) that defines the eigenvalue problem.
Constraint: n1.
5: x[dim] double Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least pdx×m0.
The (i,j)th element of the matrix X is stored in x[(j-1)×pdx+i-1].
On initial entry: need not be set.
On intermediate exit:
  • if irevcm=3, the calling program must compute Az, storing the result in x prior to re-entry.
  • If irevcm=4, the calling program must compute Bz, storing the result in x prior to re-entry.
Note: the matrices x and z are stored in the first m0 columns of the arrays x and z, respectively.
6: pdx Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating matrix row elements in the array x.
Constraint: pdxn.
7: y[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array y must be at least pdy×m0.
The (i,j)th element of the matrix Y is stored in y[(j-1)×pdy+i-1].
On initial entry: need not be set.
On intermediate exit: if irevcm=2, the calling program must compute the solution to the linear system (zeB-A)w=y, overwriting y with the result w, prior to re-entry. The linear system has m0 right-hand sides.
8: pdy Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating matrix row elements in the array y.
Constraint: pdyn.
9: m0 Integer * Input/Output
On initial entry: the size of the search subspace used to find the eigenvalues. This should exceed the number of eigenvalues within the search contour. See Section 9 for further details.
On intermediate re-entry: m0 must remain unchanged.
On exit: if the initial search subspace was found by f12jjc to be too large, then a new smaller suitable choice is returned.
Constraint: 0<m0n.
10: nconv Integer * Output
On exit: the number of eigenvalues found within the search contour.
Note: if the optional parameter Execution Mode=Estimate was set in the option setting function f12jbc, then nconv contains a stochastic estimate of the number of eigenvalues within the search contour.
11: d[dim] double Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array d must be at least m0.
On initial entry: if the option Subspace=Yes was set using the option setting function f12jbc, then d should contain an initial guess at the eigenvalues lying within the eigenvector search subspace (this subspace should be specified by z), otherwise d need not be set.
On final exit: the first nconv entries in d contain the eigenvalues.
Note: if the option Subspace=Yes was set using the option setting function f12jbc, then on final exit d contains an estimate of the eigenvalues after a single contour integral.
12: z[dim] double Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array z must be at least pdz×m0.
The (i,j)th element of the matrix Z is stored in z[(j-1)×pdz+i-1].
On initial entry: if the option Subspace=Yes was set using the option setting function f12jbc, then z should contain an initial guess at the eigenvector search subspace, otherwise z need not be set.
On intermediate exit: must not be changed.
On final exit: the first nconv columns of z contain the eigenvectors corresponding to the eigenvalues found within the contour.
Note: if the option Execution Mode=Subspace was set using the option setting function f12jbc, then on final exit columns 1:m0 of z contain the current search subspace after one contour integral.
13: pdz Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating matrix row elements in the array z.
Constraint: pdzn.
14: eps double * Input/Output
On initial entry: need not be set.
On exit: the relative error on the trace. At iteration k, eps is given by the expression |tracek-tracek-1|/max(|Emin|,|Emax|), where tracek is the sum of the eigenvalues found at the kth iteration, and Emin and Emax are the lower and upper bounds respectively of the eigenvalue search interval.
15: iter Integer * Input/Output
On initial entry: need not be set.
On exit: the number of subspace iterations performed.
16: resid[dim] double Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array resid must be at least m0.
On initial entry: need not be set.
On final exit: for i=1,,nconv, resid[i-1] contains the relative residual, in the 1-norm, of the ith eigenpair found, that is resid[i-1]=Azi-λiBzi/(Bzi×max(|Emin|,|Emax|)), where Emin and Emax are the lower and upper bounds respectively of the eigenvalue search interval.
17: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

NE_INTERNAL_EIGVAL_FAIL
An internal error occurred in the reduced eigenvalue solver. A possible cause is that the matrix B is not positive definite.
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.
NE_NO_SOLUTION
The optional parameter Execution Mode=Estimate was set using f12jbc so only a stochastic estimate of the number of eigenvalues within the contour has been returned.
The optional parameter Execution Mode=Subspace was set using f12jbc. Columns 1:m0 of z contain the search subspace after one contour integral and d contains an estimate of the eigenvalues.
NE_TOO_MANY_ITER
The function did not converge after the maximum number of iterations. The results returned may still be useful, however they might be improved by increasing the maximum number of iterations using the option setting routine f12jbc, increasing the size of the eigenvector search subspace, m0, or experimenting with the choice of contour. Note that the returned eigenvalues and eigenvectors, together with the returned value of m0, can be used as the initial estimates for a new iteration of the solver.
NE_TOO_SMALL
The size of the eigenvector search subspace, m0, is too small.
NE_ZERO_VALUE
The option Subspace=Yes was set using the option setting function f12jbc but no nonzero elements were found in the supplied subspace.

7 Accuracy

A gauge on the accuracy of the computation can be obtained by looking at eps, the relative error on the trace, and the residuals, stored in resid.
Note: the factorization and linear system solve required when irevcm=1 or 2 can be performed in single precision, without any loss of accuracy in the final eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f12jjc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f12jjc 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

Ideally, when using f12jjc you should have an idea of the distribution of the eigenvalue spectrum to allow good choices of the search interval and m0 to be made. For best performance, m0 should exceed the number of eigenvalues in the search interval by a factor of approximately 1.5.
A stochastic estimate of the number of eigenvalues within the search contour can be obtained by setting Execution Mode=Estimate in the option setting function f12jbc. In this case, f12jjc can be called with a small value of m0 (for example ~10). On final output nconv will contain an estimate of the number of eigenvalues, which can then be used to guide the choice of m0.
The real allocatable memory required by f12jjc is approximately 4×m0×m0.
f12jrc can be used to solve complex Hermitian eigenvalue problems.
