naginterfaces.library.sparseig.complex_init(n, nev, ncv)[source]

complex_init is a setup function in a suite of functions consisting of complex_init, complex_iter(), complex_proc(), complex_option() and complex_monit(). It is used to find some of the eigenvalues (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors) of a standard or generalized eigenvalue problem defined by complex nonsymmetric matrices.

The suite of functions is suitable for the solution of large sparse, standard or generalized, nonsymmetric complex eigenproblems where only a few eigenvalues from a selected range of the spectrum are required.

Parameters
nint

The order of the matrix (and the order of the matrix for the generalized problem) that defines the eigenvalue problem.

nevint

The number of eigenvalues to be computed.

ncvint

The number of Arnoldi basis vectors to use during the computation.

At present there is no a priori analysis to guide the selection of relative to .

However, it is recommended that .

If many problems of the same type are to be solved, you should experiment with increasing while keeping fixed for a given test problem.

This will usually decrease the required number of matrix-vector operations but it also increases the work and storage required to maintain the orthogonal basis vectors.

The optimal ‘cross-over’ with respect to CPU time is problem dependent and must be determined empirically.

Notes

The suite of functions is designed to calculate some of the eigenvalues, , (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors, ) of a standard complex eigenvalue problem , or of a generalized complex eigenvalue problem of order , where is large and the coefficient matrices and are sparse, complex and nonsymmetric. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale dense, complex and nonsymmetric problems.

complex_init is a setup function which must be called before complex_iter(), the reverse communication iterative solver, and before complex_option(), the options setting function. complex_proc() is a post-processing function that must be called following a successful final exit from complex_iter(), while complex_monit() can be used to return additional monitoring information during the computation.

This setup function initializes the communication arrays, sets (to their default values) all options that can be set by you via the option setting function complex_option(), and checks that the lengths of the communication arrays as passed by you are of sufficient length. For details of the options available and how to set them see Other Parameters for complex_option.
