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 3.3.1.3 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:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

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

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

4:    $\mathbf{d}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – 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: if $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_NOERROR, the eigenvalues in ascending order.

5:    $\mathbf{e}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – 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: the contents of e are destroyed.

6:    $\mathbf{z}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – 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, z contains the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix $A$, with the $i$th column of $Z$ holding the eigenvector associated with $\mathbf{d}\left[i-1\right]$.

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

7:    $\mathbf{pdz}$ – 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 $\mathbf{pdz}\ge 1$.

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

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL

Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 2.3.1.2 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

NE_BAD_PARAM

On entry, argument $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ had an illegal value.

NE_CONVERGENCE

The algorithm failed to converge; $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ off-diagonal elements of e did not converge to zero.

NE_ENUM_INT_2

On entry, $\mathbf{job}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{pdz}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and $\mathbf{n}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: if $\mathbf{job}=\mathrm{Nag\_DoBoth}$, $\mathbf{pdz}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$;
otherwise $\mathbf{pdz}\ge 1$.

NE_INT

On entry, $\mathbf{n}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

On entry, $\mathbf{pdz}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{pdz}>0$.

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.
