NAG FL Interface

1 Purpose

f08fbf 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.

3 Description

The symmetric matrix A is first reduced to tridiagonal form, using orthogonal similarity transformations. The required eigenvalues and eigenvectors are then computed from the tridiagonal matrix; the method used depends upon whether all, or selected, eigenvalues and eigenvectors are required.

5 Arguments

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: uplo Character(1) Input
On entry: if uplo='U', the upper triangular part of A is stored.
If uplo='L', the lower triangular part of A is stored.
Constraint: uplo='U' or 'L'.
4: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
5: alda* Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least max1,n.
On entry: the n by n symmetric matrix A.
  • If uplo='U', the upper triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
  • If uplo='L', 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='L') or the upper triangle (if uplo='U') of a, including the diagonal, is overwritten.
6: lda Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f08fbf is called.
Constraint: ldamax1,n.
7: vl Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
8: 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.
9: il Integer Input
10: iu Integer Input
On entry: if range='I', il and iu specify the indices (in ascending order) of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned, respectively.
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 .
11: 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, where T is the tridiagonal matrix obtained by reducing A to tridiagonal form. Eigenvalues will be computed most accurately when abstol is set to twice the underflow threshold 2 × x02amf   , not zero. If this routine returns with info>0, indicating that some eigenvectors did not converge, try setting abstol to 2 × x02amf   . See Demmel and Kahan (1990).
12: m Integer Output
On exit: the total number of eigenvalues found. 0mn.
If range='A', m=n.
If range='I', m=iu-il+1.
13: w* Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
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.
14: zldz* Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
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', then
  • if info=0, 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 an eigenvector fails to converge (info>0), then that column of Z contains the latest approximation to the eigenvector, and the index of the eigenvector is returned in jfail.
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.
15: ldz Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array z as declared in the (sub)program from which f08fbf is called.
Constraints:
  • if jobz='V', ldz max1,n ;
  • otherwise ldz1.
16: workmax1,lwork Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
On exit: if info=0, work1 contains the minimum value of lwork required for optimal performance.
17: lwork Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08fbf is called.
If lwork=-1, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the work array, returns this value as the first entry of the work array, and no error message related to lwork is issued.
Suggested value: for optimal performance, lworknb+3×n, where nb is the largest optimal block size for f08fef and f08fgf.
Constraints:
  • if n1, lwork1;
  • otherwise lwork8×n.
18: iwork* Integer array Workspace
Note: the dimension of the array iwork must be at least max1,5×n.
19: jfail* Integer array Output
Note: the dimension of the array jfail must be at least max1,n.
On exit: if jobz='V', then
  • if info=0, the first m elements of jfail are zero;
  • if info>0, jfail contains the indices of the eigenvectors that failed to converge.
If jobz='N', jfail is not referenced.
20: info Integer Output
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
The algorithm failed to converge; value eigenvectors did not converge. Their indices are stored in array jfail.

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

f08fbf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08fbf 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 n3.
The complex analogue of this routine is f08fpf.
