1  Purpose

F08JDF (DSTEVR) computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real n by n symmetric tridiagonal matrix T. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.

3  Description

Whenever possible F08JDF (DSTEVR) computes the eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations. F08JDF (DSTEVR) 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 parameter ABSTOL. For more details, see Dhillon (1997) and Parlett and Dhillon (2000).

5  Parameters

1:     JOBZ – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
JOBZ='N'
Only eigenvalues are computed.
JOBZ='V'
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.
Constraint: JOBZ='N' or 'V'.
2:     RANGE – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: if RANGE='A', all eigenvalues will be found.
If RANGE='V', all eigenvalues in the half-open interval VL,VU will be found.
If RANGE='I', the ILth to IUth eigenvalues will be found.
Constraint: RANGE='A', 'V' or 'I'.
3:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix.
Constraint: N0.
4:     D* – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the dimension of the array D must be at least max1,N.
On entry: the n diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T.
On exit: may be multiplied by a constant factor chosen to avoid over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.
5:     E* – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the dimension of the array E must be at least max1,N-1.
On entry: the n-1 subdiagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T.
On exit: may be multiplied by a constant factor chosen to avoid over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.
6:     VL – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
7:     VU – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
On entry: if RANGE='V', the lower and upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues.
If RANGE='A' or 'I', VL and VU are not referenced.
Constraint: if RANGE='V', VL<VU.
8:     IL – INTEGERInput
9:     IU – INTEGERInput
On entry: if RANGE='I', the indices (in ascending order) of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned.
If RANGE='A' or 'V', IL and IU are not referenced.
Constraints:
  • if RANGE='I' and N=0, IL=1 and IU=0;
  • if RANGE='I' and N>0, 1 IL IU N .
10:   ABSTOL – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
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. See Demmel and Kahan (1990).
If high relative accuracy is important, set ABSTOL to X02AMF  , 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.
11:   M – INTEGEROutput
On exit: the total number of eigenvalues found. 0MN.
If RANGE='A', M=N.
If RANGE='I', M=IU-IL+1.
12:   W* – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the dimension of the array W must be at least max1,N.
On exit: the first M elements contain the selected eigenvalues in ascending order.
13:   ZLDZ* – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the second dimension of the array Z must be at least max1,M if JOBZ='V', and at least 1 otherwise.
On exit: if JOBZ='V', the first M columns of Z contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A corresponding to the selected eigenvalues, with the ith column of Z holding the eigenvector associated with Wi.
If JOBZ='N', Z is not referenced.
Note:  you must ensure that at least max1,M columns are supplied in the array Z; if RANGE='V', the exact value of M is not known in advance and an upper bound of at least N must be used.
14:   LDZ – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array Z as declared in the (sub)program from which F08JDF (DSTEVR) is called.
Constraints:
  • if JOBZ='V', LDZ max1,N ;
  • otherwise LDZ1.
15:   ISUPPZ* – INTEGER arrayOutput
Note: the dimension of the array ISUPPZ must be at least max1,2×M.
On exit: the support of the eigenvectors in Z, i.e., the indices indicating the nonzero elements in Z. The ith eigenvector is nonzero only in elements ISUPPZ2×i-1 through ISUPPZ2×i. Implemented only for RANGE='A' or 'I' and IU-IL=N-1.
16:   WORKmax1,LWORK – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
On exit: if INFO=0, WORK1 contains the minimum value of LWORK required for optimal performance.
17:   LWORK – INTEGERInput
On entry: the dimension of the array WORK as declared in the (sub)program from which F08JDF (DSTEVR) is called.
If LWORK=-1, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum sizes of the WORK and IWORK arrays, returns these values as the first entries of the WORK and IWORK arrays, and no error message related to LWORK or LIWORK is issued.
Constraint: LWORKmax1,20×N.
18:   IWORKmax1,LIWORK – INTEGER arrayWorkspace
On exit: if INFO=0, IWORK1 returns the minimum LIWORK.
19:   LIWORK – INTEGERInput
On entry: the dimension of the array IWORK as declared in the (sub)program from which F08JDF (DSTEVR) is called.
If LIWORK=-1, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum sizes of the WORK and IWORK arrays, returns these values as the first entries of the WORK and IWORK arrays, and no error message related to LWORK or LIWORK is issued.
Constraint: LIWORKmax1,120×N.
20:   INFO – INTEGEROutput
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>0
An internal error has occurred in this routine. Please refer to INFO in F08JJF (DSTEBZ).

7  Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix A+E, where
E2 = Oε A2 ,  
and ε is the machine precision. See Section 4.7 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

8  Parallelism and Performance

F08JDF (DSTEVR) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
F08JDF (DSTEVR) 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 routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9  Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to n2 if JOBZ='N' and is proportional to n3 if JOBZ='V' and RANGE='A', otherwise the number of floating-point operations will depend upon the number of computed eigenvectors.

10  Example

This example finds the eigenvalues with indices in the range 2,3 , and the corresponding eigenvectors, of the symmetric tridiagonal matrix
T = 1 1 0 0 1 4 2 0 0 2 9 3 0 0 3 16 .
