1  Purpose

nag_dsbgst (f08uec) reduces a real symmetric-definite generalized eigenproblem Az=λBz to the standard form Cy=λy, where A and B are band matrices, A is a real symmetric matrix, and B has been factorized by nag_dpbstf (f08ufc).

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf08.h>
void  nag_dsbgst (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_VectType vect, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer ka, Integer kb, double ab[], Integer pdab, const double bb[], Integer pdbb, double x[], Integer pdx, NagError *fail)

3  Description

To reduce the real symmetric-definite generalized eigenproblem Az=λBz to the standard form Cy=λy, where A, B and C are banded, nag_dsbgst (f08uec) must be preceded by a call to nag_dpbstf (f08ufc) which computes the split Cholesky factorization of the positive definite matrix B: B=STS. The split Cholesky factorization, compared with the ordinary Cholesky factorization, allows the work to be approximately halved.
This function overwrites A with C=XTAX, where X=S-1Q and Q is a orthogonal matrix chosen (implicitly) to preserve the bandwidth of A. The function also has an option to allow the accumulation of X, and then, if z is an eigenvector of C, Xz is an eigenvector of the original system.

5  Arguments

1:     order Nag_OrderTypeInput
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 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     vect Nag_VectTypeInput
On entry: indicates whether X is to be returned.
vect=Nag_DoNotForm
X is not returned.
vect=Nag_FormX
X is returned.
Constraint: vect=Nag_DoNotForm or Nag_FormX.
3:     uplo Nag_UploTypeInput
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 or Nag_Lower.
4:     n IntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrices A and B.
Constraint: n0.
5:     ka IntegerInput
On entry: if uplo=Nag_Upper, the number of superdiagonals, ka, of the matrix A.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, the number of subdiagonals, ka, of the matrix A.

7:     ab[dim] doubleInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ab must be at least max1,pdab×n.
On entry: the upper or lower triangle of the n by n symmetric band matrix A.
This is stored as a notional two-dimensional array with row elements or column elements stored contiguously. The storage of elements of Aij, depends on the order and uplo arguments as follows:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor and uplo=Nag_Upper,
              Aij is stored in ab[ka+i-j+j-1×pdab], for j=1,,n and i=max1,j-ka,,j;
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor and uplo=Nag_Lower,
              Aij is stored in ab[i-j+j-1×pdab], for j=1,,n and i=j,,minn,j+ka;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor and uplo=Nag_Upper,
              Aij is stored in ab[j-i+i-1×pdab], for i=1,,n and j=i,,minn,i+ka;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor and uplo=Nag_Lower,
              Aij is stored in ab[ka+j-i+i-1×pdab], for i=1,,n and j=max1,i-ka,,i.
On exit: the upper or lower triangle of ab is overwritten by the corresponding upper or lower triangle of C as specified by uplo.
8:     pdab IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix A in the array ab.
Constraint: pdabka+1.
9:     bb[dim] const doubleInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array bb must be at least max1,pdbb×n.
On entry: the banded split Cholesky factor of B as specified by uplo, n and kb and returned by nag_dpbstf (f08ufc).
10:   pdbb IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix in the array bb.
Constraint: pdbbkb+1.
11:   x[dim] doubleOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least
  • max1,pdx×n when vect=Nag_FormX;
  • 1 when vect=Nag_DoNotForm.
The i,jth element of the matrix X is stored in
  • x[j-1×pdx+i-1] when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • x[i-1×pdx+j-1] when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On exit: the n by n matrix X=S-1Q, if vect=Nag_FormX.
If vect=Nag_DoNotForm, x is not referenced.
12:   pdx IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array x.
Constraints:
  • if vect=Nag_FormX, pdx max1,n ;
  • if vect=Nag_DoNotForm, pdx1.
13:   fail NagError *Input/Output

7  Accuracy

Forming the reduced matrix C is a stable procedure. However it involves implicit multiplication by B-1. When nag_dsbgst (f08uec) is used as a step in the computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the original problem, there may be a significant loss of accuracy if B is ill-conditioned with respect to inversion.

8  Parallelism and Performance

nag_dsbgst (f08uec) is not threaded by NAG in any implementation.
nag_dsbgst (f08uec) 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.

9  Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately 6n2kB, when vect=Nag_DoNotForm, assuming nkA,kB; there are an additional 3/2n3kB/kA operations when vect=Nag_FormX.
The complex analogue of this function is nag_zhbgst (f08usc).

10  Example

This example computes all the eigenvalues of Az=λBz, where
A = 0.24 0.39 0.42 0.00 0.39 -0.11 0.79 0.63 0.42 0.79 -0.25 0.48 0.00 0.63 0.48 -0.03   and  B= 2.07 0.95 0.00 0.00 0.95 1.69 -0.29 0.00 0.00 -0.29 0.65 -0.33 0.00 0.00 -0.33 1.17 .  
Here A is symmetric, B is symmetric positive definite, and A and B are treated as band matrices. B must first be factorized by nag_dpbstf (f08ufc). The program calls nag_dsbgst (f08uec) to reduce the problem to the standard form Cy=λy, then nag_dsbtrd (f08hec) to reduce C to tridiagonal form, and nag_dsterf (f08jfc) to compute the eigenvalues.
