f08fcc (dsyevd)

f08fcc computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix. If the eigenvectors are requested, then it uses a divide-and-conquer algorithm to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors. However, if only eigenvalues are required, then it uses the Pal–Walker–Kahan variant of the

Q L

Q R

algorithm.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

void f08fcc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_JobType job, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, double a[], Integer pda, double w[], NagError *fail)

The function may be called by the names: f08fcc, nag_lapackeig_dsyevd or nag_dsyevd.

3 Description

f08fcc computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix

A

. In other words, it can compute the spectral factorization of

A

A = Z Λ Z^{T},

where

Λ

is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues

λ_{i}

, and

Z

is the orthogonal matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors

z_{i}

. Thus

A z_{i} = λ_{i} z_{i}, i = 1, 2, \dots, n .

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderType Input

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 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $job$ – Nag_JobType Input

On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.

$job = Nag_DoNothing$: Only eigenvalues are computed.
$job = Nag_EigVecs$: Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.

Constraint:

job = Nag_DoNothing

Nag_EigVecs

3: $uplo$ – Nag_UploType Input

On entry: indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of

A

is stored.

$uplo = Nag_Upper$: The upper triangular part of $A$ is stored.
$uplo = Nag_Lower$: The lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.

Constraint:

uplo = Nag_Upper

Nag_Lower

4: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

5: $a [\dim]$ – double Input/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least

\max (1, pda \times n)

On entry: the

n \times n

symmetric matrix

A

order = Nag_ColMajor

A_{i j}

is stored in

a [(j - 1) \times pda + i - 1]

order = Nag_RowMajor

A_{i j}

is stored in

a [(i - 1) \times pda + j - 1]

uplo = Nag_Upper

, the upper triangular part of

A

must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.

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: if

job = Nag_EigVecs

, a is overwritten by the orthogonal matrix

Z

which contains the eigenvectors of

A

6: $pda$ – Integer Input

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.

Constraint:

pda \geq \max (1, n)

7: $w [\dim]$ – double Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array w must be at least

\max (1, n)

On exit: the eigenvalues of the matrix

A

in ascending order.

8: $fail$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM: On entry, argument $⟨ value ⟩$ had an illegal value.
NE_CONVERGENCE: If $fail . errnum = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $job = Nag_DoNothing$ , the algorithm failed to converge; $⟨ value ⟩$ elements of an intermediate tridiagonal form did not converge to zero; if $fail . errnum = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $job = Nag_EigVecs$ , then the algorithm failed to compute an eigenvalue while working on the submatrix lying in rows and column $⟨ value ⟩ / (n + 1)$ through $⟨ value ⟩ mod (n + 1)$ .
NE_INT: On entry, $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $n \geq 0$ .

On entry, $pda = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $pda > 0$ .
NE_INT_2: On entry, $pda = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $pda \geq \max (1, n)$ .
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.

NE_NO_LICENCE: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.

7 Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix

(A + E)

, where

{‖ E ‖}_{2} = O (ε) {‖ A ‖}_{2},

and

ε

is the machine precision. See Section 4.7 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

f08fcc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f08fcc 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.
