Arguments

1:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

2:    $\mathbf{nnz}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the dimension of the array a.The number of nonzero elements in the lower triangular part of the matrix $A$.

Constraint: $1\le \mathbf{nnz}\le \mathbf{n}\times \left(\mathbf{n}+1\right)/2$.

3:    $\mathbf{a}\left[\mathbf{nnz}\right]$ – const doubleInput

On entry: the array of nonzero elements of the lower triangular part of the $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix $A$.

4:    $\mathbf{irow}\left[\mathbf{nnz}\right]$ – const IntegerInput

5:    $\mathbf{icol}\left[\mathbf{nnz}\right]$ – const IntegerInput

On entry: the row and column indices of the elements supplied in array a.

If $\mathbf{irow}\left[k-1\right]=i$ and $\mathbf{icol}\left[k-1\right]=j$ then $A_{ij}$ is stored in $\mathbf{a}\left[k-1\right]$. irow does not need to be ordered: an internal sort will force the correct ordering.

Constraint:

irow and icol must satisfy these constraints:

$1\le \mathbf{irow}\left[\mathit{i}\right]\le \mathbf{n}$ and $1\le \mathbf{icol}\left[\mathit{i}\right]\le \mathbf{irow}\left[\mathit{i}\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=0,1,\dots ,\mathbf{nnz}-1$.

6:    $\mathbf{nev}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the number of eigenvalues to be computed.

Constraint: $0<\mathbf{nev}<\mathbf{n}-1$.

7:    $\mathbf{ncv}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the dimension of the array w. The number of Arnoldi basis vectors to use during the computation.

At present there is no a priori analysis to guide the selection of ncv relative to nev. However, it is recommended that $\mathbf{ncv}\ge 2\times \mathbf{nev}+1$. If many problems of the same type are to be solved, you should experiment with increasing ncv while keeping nev fixed for a given test problem. This will usually decrease the required number of matrix-vector operations but it also increases the work and storage required to maintain the orthogonal basis vectors. The optimal ‘cross-over’ with respect to computation time is problem dependent and must be determined empirically.

Constraint: $\mathbf{nev}<\mathbf{ncv}\le \mathbf{n}$.

8:    $\mathbf{sigma}$ – doubleInput

On entry: if the $\mathbf{Shifted\; Inverse}$ mode has been selected then sigma contains the real shift used; otherwise sigma is not referenced. This mode can be selected by setting the appropriate options in the user-supplied function option.

9:    $\mathbf{monit}$ – function, supplied by the userExternal Function

monit is used to monitor the progress of nag_eigen_real_symm_sparse_arnoldi (f02fkc). monit may be specified as NULLFN if no monitoring is actually required. monit is called after the solution of each eigenvalue sub-problem and also just prior to return from nag_eigen_real_symm_sparse_arnoldi (f02fkc).

The specification of monit is:

void  monit (Integer ncv, Integer niter, Integer nconv, const double w[], const double rzest[], Integer *istat, Nag_Comm *comm)

1:    $\mathbf{ncv}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the dimension of the arrays w and rzest. The number of Arnoldi basis vectors used during the computation.

2:    $\mathbf{niter}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the number of the current Arnoldi iteration.

3:    $\mathbf{nconv}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the number of converged eigenvalues so far.

4:    $\mathbf{w}\left[\mathbf{ncv}\right]$ – const doubleInput

On entry: the first nconv elements of w contain the converged approximate eigenvalues.

5:    $\mathbf{rzest}\left[\mathbf{ncv}\right]$ – const doubleInput

On entry: the first nconv elements of rzest contain the Ritz estimates (error bounds) on the converged approximate eigenvalues.

6:    $\mathbf{istat}$ – Integer *Input/Output

On entry: set to zero.

On exit: if set to a nonzero value nag_eigen_real_symm_sparse_arnoldi (f02fkc) returns immediately with $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_USER_STOP.

7:    $\mathbf{comm}$ – Nag_Comm *

Pointer to structure of type Nag_Comm; the following members are relevant to monit.

user – double *

iuser – Integer *

p – Pointer 

The type Pointer will be void *. Before calling nag_eigen_real_symm_sparse_arnoldi (f02fkc) you may allocate memory and initialize these pointers with various quantities for use by monit when called from nag_eigen_real_symm_sparse_arnoldi (f02fkc) (see Section 3.3.1.1 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

10:  $\mathbf{option}$ – function, supplied by the userExternal Function

You can supply non-default options to the Arnoldi eigensolver by repeated calls to nag_real_symm_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12fdc) from within option. (Please note that it is only necessary to call nag_real_symm_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12fdc); no call to nag_real_symm_sparse_eigensystem_init (f12fac) is required from within option.) For example, you can set the mode to $\mathbf{Shifted\; Inverse}$, you can increase the $\mathbf{Iteration\; Limit}$ beyond its default and you can print varying levels of detail on the iterative process using $\mathbf{Print\; Level}$.

If only the default options (including that the eigenvalues of largest magnitude are sought) are to be used then option may be specified as NULLFN. See Section 10 for an example of using option to set some non-default options.

The specification of option is:

void  option (Integer icom[], double com[], Integer *istat, Nag_Comm *comm)

1:    $\mathbf{icom}\left[140\right]$ – IntegerCommunication Array

On entry: contains details of the default option set. This array must be passed as argument icomm in any call to nag_real_symm_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12fdc).

On exit: contains data on the current options set which may be altered from the default set via calls to nag_real_symm_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12fdc).

2:    $\mathbf{com}\left[60\right]$ – doubleCommunication Array

On entry: contains details of the default option set. This array must be passed as argument comm in any call to nag_real_symm_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12fdc).

On exit: contains data on the current options set which may be altered from the default set via calls to nag_real_symm_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12fdc).

3:    $\mathbf{istat}$ – Integer *Input/Output

On entry: set to zero.

On exit: if set to a nonzero value nag_eigen_real_symm_sparse_arnoldi (f02fkc) returns immediately with $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_USER_STOP.

4:    $\mathbf{comm}$ – Nag_Comm *

Pointer to structure of type Nag_Comm; the following members are relevant to option.

user – double *

iuser – Integer *

p – Pointer 

The type Pointer will be void *. Before calling nag_eigen_real_symm_sparse_arnoldi (f02fkc) you may allocate memory and initialize these pointers with various quantities for use by option when called from nag_eigen_real_symm_sparse_arnoldi (f02fkc) (see Section 3.3.1.1 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

11:  $\mathbf{nconv}$ – Integer *Output

On exit: the number of converged approximations to the selected eigenvalues. On successful exit, this will normally be nev.

12:  $\mathbf{w}\left[\mathbf{ncv}\right]$ – doubleOutput

On exit: the first nconv elements contain the converged approximations to the selected eigenvalues.

13:  $\mathbf{v}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – doubleOutput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array v must be at least $\mathbf{pdv}\times \mathbf{ncv}$.

On exit: contains the eigenvectors associated with the eigenvalue ${\lambda }_{\mathit{i}}$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{nconv}$ (stored in w). For eigenvalue, ${\lambda }_j$, the corresponding eigenvector is stored in $\mathbf{v}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{pdv}+\mathit{i}-1\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,n$.

14:  $\mathbf{pdv}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating, in the array v, the elements of a real eigenvector from the corresponding elements of the next eigenvector.

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

15:  $\mathbf{resid}\left[\mathbf{nev}\right]$ – doubleOutput

On exit: the residual ${‖A{w}_{\mathit{i}}-{\lambda }_{\mathit{i}}{w}_{\mathit{i}}‖}_2$ for the estimates to the eigenpair ${\lambda }_{\mathit{i}}$ and $w_{\mathit{i}}$ is returned in $\mathbf{resid}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{nconv}$.

16:  $\mathbf{comm}$ – Nag_Comm *

The NAG communication argument (see Section 3.3.1.1 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

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