Purpose

nag_dsyevr (f08fdc) computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real n by n symmetric matrix A. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.

Description

The symmetric matrix is first reduced to a tridiagonal matrix T, using orthogonal similarity transformations. Then whenever possible, nag_dsyevr (f08fdc) computes the eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations. nag_dsyevr (f08fdc) 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:
(a) compute T - σi I = Li Di LiT , such that Li Di LiT  is a relatively robust representation,
(b) compute the eigenvalues, λj, of Li Di LiT  to high relative accuracy by the dqds algorithm,
(c) if there is a cluster of close eigenvalues, ‘choose’ σi close to the cluster, and go to (a),
(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).

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. See Section 3.3.1.3 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     job Nag_JobTypeInput
On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
job=Nag_EigVals
Only eigenvalues are computed.

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.

3:     range Nag_RangeTypeInput
On entry: if range=Nag_AllValues, all eigenvalues will be found.
If range=Nag_Interval, all eigenvalues in the half-open interval vl,vu will be found.
If range=Nag_Indices, the ilth to iuth eigenvalues will be found.
For range=Nag_Interval or Nag_Indices and iu-il<n-1, nag_dstebz (f08jjc) and nag_dstein (f08jkc) are called.
Constraint: range=Nag_AllValues, Nag_Interval or Nag_Indices.
4:     uplo Nag_UploTypeInput
On entry: if uplo=Nag_Upper, the upper triangular part of A is stored.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, the lower triangular part of A is stored.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
5:     n IntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
6:     a[dim] doubleInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least max1,pda×n.
On entry: the n by n symmetric matrix A.
If order=Nag_ColMajor, Aij is stored in a[j-1×pda+i-1].
If order=Nag_RowMajor, Aij is stored in a[i-1×pda+j-1].
If uplo=Nag_Upper, the upper triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, 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=Nag_Lower) or the upper triangle (if uplo=Nag_Upper) of a, including the diagonal, is overwritten.
7:     pda IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.
Constraint: pdamax1,n.
8:     vl doubleInput
9:     vu doubleInput
On entry: if range=Nag_Interval, the lower and upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues.

10:   il IntegerInput
11:   iu IntegerInput
On entry: if range=Nag_Indices, the indices (in ascending order) of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned.
If range=Nag_AllValues or Nag_Interval, il and iu are not referenced.
Constraints:

  • if range=Nag_Indices and n>0, 1 il iu n .
12:   abstol doubleInput
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 maxa,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 tridiagonal matrix obtained by reducing A to tridiagonal form. See Demmel and Kahan (1990).
If high relative accuracy is important, set abstol to nag_real_safe_small_number  , 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.
13:   m Integer *Output
On exit: the total number of eigenvalues found. 0mn.
If range=Nag_AllValues, m=n.
If range=Nag_Indices, m=iu-il+1.
14:   w[dim] doubleOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array w must be at least max1,n.
On exit: the first m elements contain the selected eigenvalues in ascending order.
15:   z[dim] doubleOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array z must be at least

  • z[j-1×pdz+i-1] when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • z[i-1×pdz+j-1] when order=Nag_RowMajor.
