1 Purpose

f08snc computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, the eigenvectors of a complex generalized Hermitian-definite eigenproblem, of the form
Az=λBz ,   ABz=λz   or   BAz=λz ,  
where A and B are Hermitian and B is also positive definite.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f08snc (Nag_OrderType order, Integer itype, Nag_JobType job, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Complex a[], Integer pda, Complex b[], Integer pdb, double w[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f08snc, nag_lapackeig_zhegv or nag_zhegv.

3 Description

f08snc first performs a Cholesky factorization of the matrix B as B=UHU , when uplo=Nag_Upper or B=LLH , when uplo=Nag_Lower. The generalized problem is then reduced to a standard symmetric eigenvalue problem
Cx=λx ,  
which is solved for the eigenvalues and, optionally, the eigenvectors; the eigenvectors are then backtransformed to give the eigenvectors of the original problem.
For the problem Az=λBz , the eigenvectors are normalized so that the matrix of eigenvectors, z, satisfies
ZH A Z = Λ   and   ZH B Z = I ,  
where Λ is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues. For the problem A B z = λ z we correspondingly have
Z-1 A Z-H = Λ   and   ZH B Z = I ,  
and for B A z = λ z we have
ZH A Z = Λ   and   ZH B-1 Z = I .

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 or Nag_ColMajor.
2: itype Integer Input
On entry: specifies the problem type to be solved.
itype=1
Az=λBz.
itype=2
ABz=λz.
itype=3
BAz=λz.
Constraint: itype=1, 2 or 3.
3: job Nag_JobType Input
On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
job=Nag_EigVals
Only eigenvalues are computed.
job=Nag_DoBoth
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.
Constraint: job=Nag_EigVals or Nag_DoBoth.
4: uplo Nag_UploType Input
On entry: if uplo=Nag_Upper, the upper triangles of A and B are stored.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, the lower triangles of A and B are stored.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
5: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrices A and B.
Constraint: n0.
6: a[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least max(1,pda×n).
On entry: the n×n Hermitian 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: if job=Nag_DoBoth, a contains the matrix Z of eigenvectors. The eigenvectors are normalized as follows:
  • if itype=1 or 2, ZHBZ=I;
  • if itype=3, ZHB-1Z=I.
If job=Nag_EigVals, the upper triangle (if uplo=Nag_Upper) or the lower triangle (if uplo=Nag_Lower) of a, including the diagonal, is overwritten.
7: pda Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.
Constraint: pdamax(1,n).
8: b[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least max(1,pdb×n).
On entry: the n×n Hermitian positive definite matrix B.
If order=Nag_ColMajor, Bij is stored in b[(j-1)×pdb+i-1].
If order=Nag_RowMajor, Bij is stored in b[(i-1)×pdb+j-1].

If uplo=Nag_Lower, the lower triangular part of B must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
On exit: if fail.code= NE_NOERROR or NE_CONVERGENCE, the part of b containing the matrix is overwritten by the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization B=UHU or B=LLH.

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.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_MAT_NOT_POS_DEF
If fail.errnum=n+value, for 1valuen, then the leading minor of order value of B is not positive definite. The factorization of B could not be completed and no eigenvalues or eigenvectors were computed.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

7 Accuracy

If B is ill-conditioned with respect to inversion, then the error bounds for the computed eigenvalues and vectors may be large, although when the diagonal elements of B differ widely in magnitude the eigenvalues and eigenvectors may be less sensitive than the condition of B would suggest. See Section 4.10 of Anderson et al. (1999) for details of the error bounds.
The example program below illustrates the computation of approximate error bounds.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f08snc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08snc 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.
