Description

Whenever possible nag_dstevr (f08jdc) computes the eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations. nag_dstevr (f08jdc) computes eigenvalues by the dqds algorithm, while orthogonal eigenvectors are computed from various ‘good’

L D L^{T}

representations (also known as Relatively Robust Representations). Gram–Schmidt orthogonalization is avoided as far as possible. More specifically, the various steps of the algorithm are as follows. For the

i

th unreduced block of

T

(a)	compute $T - σ_{i} I = L_{i} D_{i} L_{i}^{T}$ , such that $L_{i} D_{i} L_{i}^{T}$ is a relatively robust representation,
(b)	compute the eigenvalues, $λ_{j}$ , of $L_{i} D_{i} L_{i}^{T}$ to high relative accuracy by the dqds algorithm,
(c)	if there is a cluster of close eigenvalues, ‘choose’ $σ_{i}$ close to the cluster, and go to (a),
(d)	given the approximate eigenvalue $λ_{j}$ of $L_{i} D_{i} L_{i}^{T}$ , compute the corresponding eigenvector by forming a rank-revealing twisted factorization.

The desired accuracy of the output can be specified by the argument abstol. For more details, see Dhillon (1997) and Parlett and Dhillon (2000).

\max (1, n)

On entry: the

n

diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix

T

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

6: $e [\dim]$ – doubleInput/Output

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

\max (1, n - 1)

On entry: the

(n - 1)

7: $vl$ – doubleInput

8: $vu$ – doubleInput

On entry: if

range = Nag_Interval

, the lower and upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues.

range = Nag_AllValues

Nag_Indices

if $range = Nag_Indices$ and $n > 0$ , $1 \leq il \leq iu \leq n$ .

11: $abstol$ – 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

[a, b]

of width less than or equal to

abstol + ε \max (|a|, |b|),

where

ε

is the machine precision. If abstol is less than or equal to zero, then

ε {‖T‖}_{1}

will be used in its place. See Demmel and Kahan (1990).

If high relative accuracy is important, set abstol to

nag_real_safe_small_number ()

, although doing so does not currently guarantee that eigenvalues are computed to high relative accuracy. See Barlow and Demmel (1990) for a discussion of which matrices can define their eigenvalues to high relative accuracy.

12: $m$ – Integer *Output

On exit: the total number of eigenvalues found.

0 \leq m \leq n

Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix

(A + E)

, where

{‖E‖}_{2} = O (ε) {‖A‖}_{2},

and

ε

is the machine precision. See Section 4.7 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

Parallelism and Performance

nag_dstevr (f08jdc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_dstevr (f08jdc) 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.

Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to

n^{2}

job = Nag_EigVals

and is proportional to

n^{3}

job = Nag_DoBoth

and

range = Nag_AllValues

, otherwise the number of floating-point operations will depend upon the number of computed eigenvectors.

Example

This example finds the eigenvalues with indices in the range
