1  Purpose

nag_dsygvd (f08scc) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, the eigenvectors of a real generalized symmetric-definite eigenproblem, of the form
Az=λBz ,   ABz=λz   or   BAz=λz ,  
where A and B are symmetric and B is also positive definite. If eigenvectors are desired, it uses a divide-and-conquer algorithm.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf08.h>
void  nag_dsygvd (Nag_OrderType order, Integer itype, Nag_JobType job, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, double a[], Integer pda, double b[], Integer pdb, double w[], NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_dsygvd (f08scc) first performs a Cholesky factorization of the matrix B as B=UTU , when uplo=Nag_Upper or B=LLT , when uplo=Nag_Lower. The generalized problem is then reduced to a standard symmetric eigenvalue problem
Cx=λx ,  
which is solved for the eigenvalues and, optionally, the eigenvectors; the eigenvectors are then backtransformed to give the eigenvectors of the original problem.
For the problem Az=λBz , the eigenvectors are normalized so that the matrix of eigenvectors, z, satisfies
ZT A Z = Λ   and   ZT B Z = I ,  
where Λ  is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues. For the problem A B z = λ z  we correspondingly have
Z-1 A Z-T = Λ   and   ZT B Z = I ,  
and for B A z = λ z  we have
ZT A Z = Λ   and   ZT B-1 Z = I .

5  Arguments

1:     order Nag_OrderTypeInput
On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by order=Nag_RowMajor.

On exit: if job=Nag_DoBoth, a contains the matrix Z of eigenvectors. The eigenvectors are normalized as follows:
  • if itype=1 or 2, ZTBZ=I;
  • if itype=3, ZTB-1Z=I.

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.
An unexpected error has been triggered by this function. Please contact NAG.
See Section 3.6.6 in the Essential Introduction for further information.
NE_MAT_NOT_POS_DEF
If fail.errnum=n+value, for 1valuen, then the leading minor of order value of B is not positive definite. The factorization of B could not be completed and no eigenvalues or eigenvectors were computed.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 3.6.5 in the Essential Introduction for further information.

7  Accuracy

If B is ill-conditioned with respect to inversion, then the error bounds for the computed eigenvalues and vectors may be large, although when the diagonal elements of B differ widely in magnitude the eigenvalues and eigenvectors may be less sensitive than the condition of B would suggest. See Section 4.10 of Anderson et al. (1999) for details of the error bounds.
The example program below illustrates the computation of approximate error bounds.

8  Parallelism and Performance

nag_dsygvd (f08scc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_dsygvd (f08scc) 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.
