1 Purpose

nag_zstedc (f08jvc) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a real

n

n

symmetric tridiagonal matrix, or of a complex full or banded Hermitian matrix which has been reduced to tridiagonal form.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

#include <nagf08.h>

void	nag_zstedc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_ComputeEigVecsType compz, Integer n, double d[], double e[], Complex z[], Integer pdz, NagError *fail)

3 Description

nag_zstedc (f08jvc) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, the eigenvectors of a real symmetric tridiagonal matrix

T

. That is, the function computes the spectral factorization of

T

given by

T = Z Λ Z^{T},

where

Λ

is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues,

λ_{i}

, of

T

and

Z

is an orthogonal matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors,

z_{i}

, of

T

. Thus

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

The function may also be used to compute all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a complex full, or banded, Hermitian matrix

A

which has been reduced to real tridiagonal form

T

A = Q T Q^{H},

where

Q

is unitary. The spectral factorization of

A

is then given by

A = (Q Z) Λ {(Q Z)}^{H} .

In this case

Q

must be formed explicitly and passed to nag_zstedc (f08jvc) in the array z, and the function called with

compz = Nag_OrigEigVecs

. Functions which may be called to form

T

and

Q

are

full matrix	nag_zhetrd (f08fsc) and nag_zungtr (f08ftc)
full matrix, packed storage	nag_zhptrd (f08gsc) and nag_zupgtr (f08gtc)
band matrix	nag_zhbtrd (f08hsc), with $vect = Nag_FormQ$

When only eigenvalues are required then this function calls nag_dsterf (f08jfc) to compute the eigenvalues of the tridiagonal matrix

T

, but when eigenvectors of

T

are also required and the matrix is not too small, then a divide and conquer method is used, which can be much faster than nag_zsteqr (f08jsc), although more storage is required.

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

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

2: $compz$ – Nag_ComputeEigVecsTypeInput

On entry: indicates whether the eigenvectors are to be computed.

$compz = Nag_NotEigVecs$: Only the eigenvalues are computed (and the array z is not referenced).

$compz = Nag_TridiagEigVecs$: The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of $T$ are computed (and the array z is initialized by the function).

$\max (1, pdz \times n)$ when $compz = Nag_OrigEigVecs$ or $Nag_TridiagEigVecs$ ;
$1$ otherwise.

compz = Nag_OrigEigVecs

then the

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

Q

is stored in

$z [(j - 1) \times pdz + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$z [(i - 1) \times pdz + j - 1]$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

On entry: if

, z must contain the unitary matrix

Q

used in the reduction to tridiagonal form.

On exit: if

7 Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix

(T + E)

, where

{‖E‖}_{2} = O (ε) {‖T‖}_{2},

and

ε

is the machine precision.

λ_{i}

is an exact eigenvalue and

{\tilde{λ}}_{i}

is the corresponding computed value, then

|{\tilde{λ}}_{i} - λ_{i}| \leq c (n) ε {‖T‖}_{2},

where

c (n)

is a modestly increasing function of

n

z_{i}

is the corresponding exact eigenvector, and

{\tilde{z}}_{i}

is the corresponding computed eigenvector, then the angle

θ ({\tilde{z}}_{i}, z_{i})

between them is bounded as follows:

θ ({\tilde{z}}_{i}, z_{i}) \leq \frac{c (n) ε {‖T‖}_{2}}{\min_{i \neq j} |λ_{i} - λ_{j}|} .

Thus the accuracy of a computed eigenvector depends on the gap between its eigenvalue and all the other eigenvalues.

See Section 4.7 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details. See also nag_ddisna (f08flc).

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_zstedc (f08jvc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_zstedc (f08jvc) 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

If only eigenvalues are required, the total number of floating-point operations is approximately proportional to

n^{2}

. When eigenvectors are required the number of operations is bounded above by approximately the same number of operations as nag_zsteqr (f08jsc), but for large matrices nag_zstedc (f08jvc) is usually much faster.

The real analogue of this function is nag_dstedc (f08jhc).

10 Example

This example finds all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Hermitian band matrix

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 3.13 & 1.94 - 2.10 i & - 3.40 + 0.25 i & 0 \\ 1.94 + 2.10 i & - 1.91 & - 0.82 - 0.89 i & - 0.67 + 0.34 i \\ - 3.40 - 0.25 i & - 0.82 + 0.89 i & - 2.87 & - 2.10 - 0.16 i \\ 0 & - 0.67 - 0.34 i & - 2.10 + 0.16 i & 0.50 \end{array}) .

A

is first reduced to tridiagonal form by a call to nag_zhbtrd (f08hsc).
