1 Purpose

f08wpf computes for a pair of n×n complex nonsymmetric matrices (A,B) the generalized eigenvalues and, optionally, the left and/or right generalized eigenvectors using the QZ algorithm.
Optionally it also computes a balancing transformation to improve the conditioning of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, reciprocal condition numbers for the eigenvalues, and reciprocal condition numbers for the right eigenvectors.

3 Description

A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices (A,B) is a scalar λ or a ratio α/β=λ, such that A-λB is singular. It is usually represented as the pair (α,β), as there is a reasonable interpretation for β=0, and even for both being zero.
The right generalized eigenvector vj corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue λj of (A,B) satisfies
A vj = λj B vj .  
The left generalized eigenvector uj corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue λj of (A,B) satisfies
ujH A = λj ujH B ,  
where ujH is the conjugate-transpose of uj.
All the eigenvalues and, if required, all the eigenvectors of the complex generalized eigenproblem Ax=λBx, where A and B are complex, square matrices, are determined using the QZ algorithm. The complex QZ algorithm consists of three stages:
  1. 1.A is reduced to upper Hessenberg form (with real, non-negative subdiagonal elements) and at the same time B is reduced to upper triangular form.
  2. 2.A is further reduced to triangular form while the triangular form of B is maintained and the diagonal elements of B are made real and non-negative. This is the generalized Schur form of the pair (A,B) .
    This routine does not actually produce the eigenvalues λj, but instead returns αj and βj such that
    λj=αj/βj,  j=1,2,,n.  
    The division by βj becomes your responsibility, since βj may be zero, indicating an infinite eigenvalue.
  3. 3.If the eigenvectors are required they are obtained from the triangular matrices and then transformed back into the original coordinate system.
For details of the balancing option, see Section 3 in f08wvf.

5 Arguments

1: balanc Character(1) Input
On entry: specifies the balance option to be performed.
balanc='N'
Do not diagonally scale or permute.
balanc='P'
Permute only.
balanc='S'
Scale only.
balanc='B'
Both permute and scale.
Computed reciprocal condition numbers will be for the matrices after permuting and/or balancing. Permuting does not change condition numbers (in exact arithmetic), but balancing does. In the absence of other information, balanc='B' is recommended.
Constraint: balanc='N', 'P', 'S' or 'B'.
2: jobvl Character(1) Input
On entry: if jobvl='N', do not compute the left generalized eigenvectors.
If jobvl='V', compute the left generalized eigenvectors.
Constraint: jobvl='N' or 'V'.
3: jobvr Character(1) Input
On entry: if jobvr='N', do not compute the right generalized eigenvectors.
If jobvr='V', compute the right generalized eigenvectors.
Constraint: jobvr='N' or 'V'.
4: sense Character(1) Input
On entry: determines which reciprocal condition numbers are computed.
sense='N'
None are computed.
sense='E'
Computed for eigenvalues only.
sense='V'
Computed for eigenvectors only.
sense='B'
Computed for eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
Constraint: sense='N', 'E', 'V' or 'B'.
5: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrices A and B.
Constraint: n0.
6: 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 matrix A in the pair (A,B).
On exit: a has been overwritten. If jobvl='V' or jobvr='V' or both, then A contains the first part of the Schur form of the ‘balanced’ versions of the input A and B.
7: lda Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f08wpf is called.
Constraint: ldamax(1,n).
8: b(ldb,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array b must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: the matrix B in the pair (A,B).
On exit: b has been overwritten.
9: ldb Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array b as declared in the (sub)program from which f08wpf is called.

10: alpha(n) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: see the description of beta.
11: beta(n) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: alpha(j)/beta(j), for j=1,2,,n, will be the generalized eigenvalues.
Note:  the quotients alpha(j)/beta(j) may easily overflow or underflow, and beta(j) may even be zero. Thus, you should avoid naively computing the ratio αj/βj. However, max|αj| will always be less than and usually comparable with A2 in magnitude, and max|βj| will always be less than and usually comparable with B2.
12: vl(ldvl,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the second dimension of the array vl must be at least max(1,n) if jobvl='V', and at least 1 otherwise.
On exit: if jobvl='V', the left generalized eigenvectors uj are stored one after another in the columns of vl, in the same order as the corresponding eigenvalues. Each eigenvector will be scaled so the largest component will have |real part|+|imag. part|=1.
If jobvl='N', vl is not referenced.
13: ldvl Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array vl as declared in the (sub)program from which f08wpf is called.
Constraints:
  • if jobvl='V', ldvl max(1,n) ;

14: vr(ldvr,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the second dimension of the array vr must be at least max(1,n) if jobvr='V', and at least 1 otherwise.
On exit: if jobvr='V', the right generalized eigenvectors vj are stored one after another in the columns of vr, in the same order as the corresponding eigenvalues. Each eigenvector will be scaled so the largest component will have |real part|+|imag. part|=1.
If jobvr='N', vr is not referenced.
15: ldvr Integer Input

17: ihi Integer Output
On exit: ilo and ihi are integer values such that a(i,j)=0 and b(i,j)=0 if i>j and j=1,2,,ilo-1 or i=ihi+1,,n.
If balanc='N' or 'S', ilo=1 and ihi=n.
18: lscale(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: details of the permutations and scaling factors applied to the left side of A and B.
If plj is the index of the row interchanged with row j, and dlj is the scaling factor applied to row j, then:
  • lscale(j) = plj , for j=1,2,,ilo-1;
  • lscale = dlj , for j=ilo,,ihi;
  • lscale = plj , for j=ihi+1,,n.
The order in which the interchanges are made is n to ihi+1, then 1 to ilo-1.

On exit: details of the permutations and scaling factors applied to the right side of A and B.
If prj is the index of the column interchanged with column j, and drj is the scaling factor applied to column j, then:

  • if rscale=prj, for j=ihi+1,,n.
The order in which the interchanges are made is n to ihi+1, then 1 to ilo-1.
20: abnrm Real (Kind=nag_wp) Output
On exit: the 1-norm of the balanced matrix A.
21: bbnrm Real (Kind=nag_wp) Output
On exit: the 1-norm of the balanced matrix B.
22: rconde(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the dimension of the array rconde must be at least max(1,n).
On exit: if sense='E' or 'B', the reciprocal condition numbers of the eigenvalues, stored in consecutive elements of the array.
If sense='N' or 'V', rconde is not referenced.
23: rcondv(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
Note: the dimension of the array rcondv must be at least max(1,n).
On exit: if sense='V' or 'B', the estimated reciprocal condition numbers of the selected eigenvectors, stored in consecutive elements of the array.
If sense='N' or 'E', rcondv is not referenced.
24: 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.
25: lwork Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08wpf 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 minimum; increase workspace by, say, nb×n, where nb is the optimal block size.
Constraints:
if lwork−1,
  • if sense='N', lworkmax(1,2×n);
  • if sense='E', lworkmax(1,4×n);
  • if sense='B' or 'V', lworkmax(1,2×n×n+2×n).

Note: the dimension of the array iwork must be at least max(1,n+2).
If sense='E', iwork is not referenced.
28: bwork(*) Logical array Workspace
Note: the dimension of the array bwork must be at least max(1,n).
If sense='N', bwork is not referenced.
29: 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 alpha and beta should be correct from element value.
info=n+1
The QZ iteration failed with an unexpected error, please contact NAG.
info=n+2
A failure occurred in f08yxf while computing generalized eigenvectors.

7 Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for nearby matrices (A+E) and (B+F), where
(E,F) F = O(ε) (A,B) F ,  
and ε is the machine precision.
An approximate error bound on the chordal distance between the ith computed generalized eigenvalue w and the corresponding exact eigenvalue λ is
ε × abnrm,bbnrm2 / rconde(i) .  
An approximate error bound for the angle between the ith computed eigenvector uj or vj is given by
ε × abnrm,bbnrm2 / rcondv(i) .  
For further explanation of the reciprocal condition numbers rconde and rcondv, see Section 4.11 of Anderson et al. (1999).
Note:  interpretation of results obtained with the QZ algorithm often requires a clear understanding of the effects of small changes in the original data. These effects are reviewed in Wilkinson (1979), in relation to the significance of small values of αj and βj. It should be noted that if αj and βj are both small for any j, it may be that no reliance can be placed on any of the computed eigenvalues λi=αi/βi. You are recommended to study Wilkinson (1979) and, if in difficulty, to seek expert advice on determining the sensitivity of the eigenvalues to perturbations in the data.

10 Example

This example finds all the eigenvalues and right eigenvectors of the matrix pair (A,B), where
A = ( -21.10-22.50i 53.50-50.50i -34.50+127.50i 7.50+00.50i -0.46-07.78i -3.50-37.50i -15.50+058.50i -10.50-01.50i 4.30-05.50i 39.70-17.10i -68.50+012.50i -7.50-03.50i 5.50+04.40i 14.40+43.30i -32.50-046.00i -19.00-32.50i )  
and
B = ( 1.00-5.00i 1.60+1.20i -3.00+0.00i 0.00-1.00i 0.80-0.60i 3.00-5.00i -4.00+3.00i -2.40-3.20i 1.00+0.00i 2.40+1.80i -4.00-5.00i 0.00-3.00i 0.00+1.00i -1.80+2.40i 0.00-4.00i 4.00-5.00i ) ,  
together with estimates of the condition number and forward error bounds for each eigenvalue and eigenvector. The option to balance the matrix pair is used.
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.
