5  Arguments

1:    $\mathbf{order}$ – 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 $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$. See Section 2.3.1.3 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint: $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$.

2:    $\mathbf{job}$ – Nag_JobTypeInput

On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.

$\mathbf{job}=\mathrm{Nag\_EigVals}$

Only eigenvalues are computed.

$\mathbf{job}=\mathrm{Nag\_DoBoth}$

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.

Constraint: $\mathbf{job}=\mathrm{Nag\_EigVals}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_DoBoth}$.

3:    $\mathbf{range}$ – Nag_RangeTypeInput

On entry: if $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_AllValues}$, all eigenvalues will be found.

If $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_Interval}$, all eigenvalues in the half-open interval $\left(\mathbf{vl},\mathbf{vu}\right]$ will be found.

If $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_Indices}$, the ilth to iuth eigenvalues will be found.

Constraint: $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_AllValues}$, $\mathrm{Nag\_Interval}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_Indices}$.

4:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the order of the matrix.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

5:    $\mathbf{d}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – doubleInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array d must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$.

On entry: the $n$ diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix $A$.

On exit: may be multiplied by a constant factor chosen to avoid over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.

6:    $\mathbf{e}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – doubleInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array e must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}-1\right)$.

On entry: the $\left(n-1\right)$ subdiagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix $A$.

On exit: may be multiplied by a constant factor chosen to avoid over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.

7:    $\mathbf{vl}$ – doubleInput

8:    $\mathbf{vu}$ – doubleInput

On entry: if $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_Interval}$, the lower and upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues.

If $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_AllValues}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_Indices}$, vl and vu are not referenced.

Constraint: if $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_Interval}$, $\mathbf{vl}<\mathbf{vu}$.

9:    $\mathbf{il}$ – IntegerInput

10:  $\mathbf{iu}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: if $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_Indices}$, the indices (in ascending order) of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned.

If $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_AllValues}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_Interval}$, il and iu are not referenced.

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_Indices}$ and $\mathbf{n}=0$, $\mathbf{il}=1$ and $\mathbf{iu}=0$;
• if $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_Indices}$ and $\mathbf{n}>0$, $1\le \mathbf{il}\le \mathbf{iu}\le \mathbf{n}$.

11:  $\mathbf{abstol}$ – doubleInput

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 $\left[a,b\right]$ of width less than or equal to

$$\mathbf{abstol}+\epsilon \max \left(\left|a\right|,\left|b\right|\right)\text{,}$$

where $\epsilon$ is the machine precision. If abstol is less than or equal to zero, then $\epsilon {‖A‖}_1$ will be used in its place. Eigenvalues will be computed most accurately when abstol is set to twice the underflow threshold $2\times \mathbf{nag\_real\_safe\_small\_number}\left( \right)$, not zero. If this function returns with $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_CONVERGENCE, indicating that some eigenvectors did not converge, try setting abstol to $2\times \mathbf{nag\_real\_safe\_small\_number}\left( \right)$. See Demmel and Kahan (1990).

12:  $\mathbf{m}$ – Integer *Output

On exit: the total number of eigenvalues found. $0\le \mathbf{m}\le \mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_AllValues}$, $\mathbf{m}=\mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{range}=\mathrm{Nag\_Indices}$, $\mathbf{m}=\mathbf{iu}-\mathbf{il}+1$.

13:  $\mathbf{w}\left[\mathbf{n}\right]$ – doubleOutput

On exit: the first m elements contain the selected eigenvalues in ascending order.

14:  $\mathbf{z}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – doubleOutput

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

• $\max \left(1,\mathbf{pdz}\times \mathbf{n}\right)$ when $\mathbf{job}=\mathrm{Nag\_DoBoth}$;
• $1$ otherwise.

The $\left(i,j\right)$th element of the matrix $Z$ is stored in

• $\mathbf{z}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdz}+i-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_ColMajor}$;
• $\mathbf{z}\left[\left(i-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdz}+j-1\right]$ when $\mathbf{order}=\mathrm{Nag\_RowMajor}$.

On exit: if $\mathbf{job}=\mathrm{Nag\_DoBoth}$, then

• if $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_NOERROR, the first m columns of $Z$ contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix $A$ corresponding to the selected eigenvalues, with the $i$th column of $Z$ holding the eigenvector associated with $\mathbf{w}\left[i-1\right]$;
• if an eigenvector fails to converge ($\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_CONVERGENCE), then that column of $Z$ contains the latest approximation to the eigenvector, and the index of the eigenvector is returned in jfail.

If $\mathbf{job}=\mathrm{Nag\_EigVals}$, z is not referenced.

15:  $\mathbf{pdz}$ – IntegerInput

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

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{job}=\mathrm{Nag\_DoBoth}$, $\mathbf{pdz}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$;
• otherwise $\mathbf{pdz}\ge 1$.

16:  $\mathbf{jfail}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – IntegerOutput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array jfail must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$.

On exit: if $\mathbf{job}=\mathrm{Nag\_DoBoth}$, then

• if $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_NOERROR, the first m elements of jfail are zero;
• if $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_CONVERGENCE, jfail contains the indices of the eigenvectors that failed to converge.

If $\mathbf{job}=\mathrm{Nag\_EigVals}$, jfail is not referenced.

17:  $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 2.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).
