Note: before using this routine, please read the Users' Note for your implementation to check the interpretation of bold italicised terms and other implementation-dependent details.
The routine may be called by its
LAPACK
name zheev.
3 Description
The Hermitian matrix is first reduced to real tridiagonal form, using unitary similarity transformations, and then the algorithm is applied to the tridiagonal matrix to compute the eigenvalues and (optionally) the eigenvectors.

5 Parameters
1: JOBZ – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
Only eigenvalues are computed.
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.
Constraint:
or .
2: UPLO – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: if , the upper triangular part of is stored.
On exit: if , the real part of contains the minimum value of LWORK required for optimal performance.
8: LWORK – INTEGERInput
On entry: the dimension of the array WORK as declared in the (sub)program from which F08FNF (ZHEEV) is called.
If , a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the WORK array, returns this value as the first entry of the WORK array, and no error message related to LWORK is issued.
Suggested value:
for optimal performance, , where is the optimal block size for F08FSF (ZHETRD).
Constraint:
.
9: RWORK() – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
Note: the dimension of the array RWORK
must be at least
.
10: INFO – INTEGEROutput
On exit: unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).
6 Error Indicators and Warnings
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
If , argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
If , the algorithm failed to converge; off-diagonal elements of an intermediate tridiagonal form did not converge to zero.
7 Accuracy
The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix , where
and is the machine precision. See Section 4.7 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
8 Further Comments
Each eigenvector is normalized so that the element of largest absolute value is real and positive.
The total number of floating point operations is proportional to .
