Description

f08jlf (dstegr) computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, the corresponding eigenvectors, of a real symmetric tridiagonal matrix T. That is, the routine computes the (partial) spectral factorization of T given by
ZΛZT ,  
where Λ is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the selected eigenvalues, λi, of T and Z is an orthogonal matrix whose columns are the corresponding eigenvectors, zi, of T. Thus
Tzi= λi zi ,   i = 1,2,,m  
where m is the number of selected eigenvalues computed.
The routine may also be used to compute selected eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix A which has been reduced to tridiagonal form T:
QZ Λ QZT , where ​Q​ is orthogonal.  
In this case, the matrix Q must be explicitly applied to the output matrix Z. The routines which must be called to perform the reduction to tridiagonal form and apply Q are:
full matrix f08fef (dsytrd) and f08fgf (dormtr)
full matrix, packed storage f08gef (dsptrd) and f08ggf (dopmtr)
band matrix f08hef (dsbtrd) with vect='V' and f06yaf (dgemm).
This routine uses the dqds and the Relatively Robust Representation algorithms to compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors respectively; see for example Parlett and Dhillon (2000) and Dhillon and Parlett (2004) for further details. f08jlf (dstegr) can usually compute all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors in On2 floating-point operations and so, for large matrices, is often considerably faster than the other symmetric tridiagonal routines in this chapter when all the eigenvectors are required, particularly so compared to those routines that are based on the QR algorithm.

  • if range='I' and n=0, il=1 and iu=0.
10:   abstol – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: in earlier versions, this argument was the absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues/eigenvectors. It is now deprecated, and only included for backwards-compatibility.
11:   m – IntegerOutput
On exit: the total number of eigenvalues found. 0mn.
If range='A', m=n.
If range='I', m=iu-il+1.

17:   lwork – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08jlf (dstegr) 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.

Error Indicators and Warnings

info<0

info=1
The dqds algorithm failed to converge.
info=2
Inverse iteration failed to converge.

Parallelism and Performance

f08jlf (dstegr) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08jlf (dstegr) 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.

Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations required to compute all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors is approximately proportional to n2.
The complex analogue of this routine is f08jyf (zstegr).

Example

This example finds all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the symmetric tridiagonal matrix
T = 1.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 0.0 2.0 9.0 3.0 0.0 0.0 3.0 16.0 .  
abstol is set to zero so that the default tolerance of nε T1 is used.
