3 Description
F02FJF finds the
eigenvalues of largest absolute value and the corresponding eigenvectors for the real eigenvalue problem
where

matrix such that
for a given positive definite matrix

is said to be
-symmetric. Different specifications of
allow for the solution of a variety of eigenvalue problems. For example, when
the routine finds the
eigenvalues of largest absolute magnitude for the standard symmetric eigenvalue problem
The routine is intended for the case where
is sparse.
As a second example, when
where
the routine finds the
eigenvalues of largest absolute magnitude for the generalized symmetric eigenvalue problem
The routine is intended for the case where
and
are sparse.
The routine does not require
explicitly, but
is specified via
IMAGE which, given an
-element vector
, computes the image
given by
For instance, in the above example, where
,
IMAGE will need to solve the positive definite system of equations
for

To find the
eigenvalues of smallest absolute magnitude of
(3) we can choose
and hence find the reciprocals of the required eigenvalues, so that
IMAGE will need to solve
for
, and correspondingly for
(4) we can choose
and solve
for

A table of examples of choice of
IMAGE is given in
Table 1. It should be remembered that the routine also returns the corresponding eigenvectors and that

The matrix
also need not be supplied explicitly, but is specified via
DOT which, given
-element vectors
and
, computes the generalized dot product
.
F02FJF is based upon routine SIMITZ (see
Nikolai (1979)), which is itself a derivative of the Algol procedure ritzit (see
Rutishauser (1970)), and uses the method of simultaneous (subspace) iteration. (See
Parlett (1998) for a description, analysis and advice on the use of the method.)
The routine performs simultaneous iteration on vectors. Initial estimates to eigenvectors, corresponding to the eigenvalues of of largest absolute value, may be supplied to F02FJF. When possible should be chosen so that the th eigenvalue is not too close to the required eigenvalues, but if is initially chosen too small then F02FJF may be re-entered, supplying approximations to the eigenvectors found so far and with then increased.
At each major iteration F02FJF solves an by () eigenvalue sub-problem in order to obtain an approximation to the eigenvalues for which convergence has not yet occurred. This approximation is refined by Chebyshev acceleration.

Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, because for this routine the values of the output parameters may be useful even if
on exit, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit:
unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see
Section 6).
6 Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry
or

X04AAF).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
A negative value of
IFAIL indicates an exit from F02FJF because you have set
IFLAG negative in
DOT or
IMAGE. The value of
IFAIL will be the same as your setting of
IFLAG.

Not all the requested eigenvalues and vectors have been obtained. Approximations to the
th eigenvalue are oscillating rapidly indicating that severe cancellation is occurring in the
th eigenvector and so
M is returned as
. A restart with a larger value of
K may permit convergence.
Not all the requested eigenvalues and vectors have been obtained. The rate of convergence of the remaining eigenvectors suggests that more than
NOITS iterations would be required and so the input value of
M has been reduced. A restart with a larger value of
K may permit convergence.
Not all the requested eigenvalues and vectors have been obtained.
NOITS iterations have been performed. A restart, possibly with a larger value of
K, may permit convergence.
This error is very unlikely to occur, but indicates that convergence of the eigenvalue sub-problem has not taken place. Restarting with a different set of approximate vectors may allow convergence. If this error occurs you should check carefully that F02FJF is being called correctly.
7 Accuracy
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors will normally be computed to the accuracy requested by the parameter
TOL, but eigenvectors corresponding to small or to close eigenvalues may not always be computed to the accuracy requested by the parameter
TOL. Use of the
MONIT to monitor acceptance of eigenvalues and eigenvectors is recommended.
The time taken by F02FJF will be principally determined by the time taken to solve the eigenvalue sub-problem and the time taken by
DOT and
IMAGE. The time taken to solve an eigenvalue sub-problem is approximately proportional to
. It is important to be aware that several calls to
DOT and
IMAGE may occur on each major iteration.
As can be seen from
Table 1, many applications of F02FJF will require the
IMAGE to solve a system of linear equations. For example, to find the smallest eigenvalues of
,
IMAGE needs to solve equations of the form
for
and routines from
Chapters F01 and
F04
will frequently be useful in this context. In particular, if
is a positive definite variable band matrix,
F04MCF may be used after
has been factorized by
F01MCF. Thus factorization need be performed only once prior to calling F02FJF. An illustration of this type of use is given in the example program.
An approximation
, to the
th eigenvalue, is accepted as soon as
and the previous approximation differ by less than
. Eigenvectors are accepted in groups corresponding to clusters of eigenvalues that are equal, or nearly equal, in absolute value and that have already been accepted. If
is the last eigenvalue in such a group and we define the residual
as
where
is the projection of
, with respect to
, onto the space spanned by
, and
is the current approximation to the
th eigenvector, then the value
returned in
MONIT is given by
and each vector in the group is accepted as an eigenvector if
where
is the current approximation to
. The values of the
are systematically increased if the convergence criteria appear to be too strict. See
Rutishauser (1970) for further details.
The algorithm implemented by F02FJF differs slightly from SIMITZ (see
Nikolai (1979)) in that the eigenvalue sub-problem is solved using the singular value decomposition of the upper triangular matrix
of the Gram–Schmidt factorization of
, rather than forming
.

F11JAF is used to factorize the matrix

F11JAF to
F11JCF by means of the COMMON block BLOCK1.

MONIT occurs each time
ISTATE is nonzero. Note that the required eigenvalues are the reciprocals of the eigenvalues returned by F02FJF.
