3 Description

A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices

(A, B)

is a scalar

λ

or a ratio

α / β = λ

, such that

A - λ B

is singular. It is usually represented as the pair

(α, β)

, as there is a reasonable interpretation for

β = 0

, and even for both being zero.

The right generalized eigenvector

v_{j}

corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue

λ_{j}

(A, B)

satisfies

A v_{j} = λ_{j} B v_{j} .

The left generalized eigenvector

u_{j}

corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue

λ_{j}

(A, B)

satisfies

u_{j}^{H} A = λ_{j} u_{j}^{H} B,

where

u_{j}^{H}

is the conjugate-transpose of

u_{j}

All the eigenvalues and, if required, all the eigenvectors of the complex generalized eigenproblem

A x = λ B x

, where

A

and

B

are complex, square matrices, are determined using the

Q Z

algorithm. The complex

Q Z

algorithm consists of three stages:

$A$ is reduced to upper Hessenberg form (with real, non-negative subdiagonal elements) and at the same time $B$ is reduced to upper triangular form.
$A$ is further reduced to triangular form while the triangular form of $B$ is maintained and the diagonal elements of $B$ are made real and non-negative. This is the generalized Schur form of the pair $(A, B)$ .
This routine does not actually produce the eigenvalues $λ_{j}$ , but instead returns $α_{j}$ and $β_{j}$ such that
$λ_{j} = α_{j} / β_{j}, j = 1, 2, \dots, n .$
The division by $β_{j}$ becomes your responsibility, since $β_{j}$ may be zero, indicating an infinite eigenvalue.
If the eigenvectors are required they are obtained from the triangular matrices and then transformed back into the original coordinate system.

For details of the balancing option, see Section 3 in F08WVF (ZGGBAL).

. However,

unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

$INFO < 0$: If $INFO = - i$ , argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

$INFO = 1 to N$: The $Q Z$ iteration failed. No eigenvectors have been calculated, but $ALPHA (j)$ and $BETA (j)$ should be correct for $j = INFO + 1, \dots, N$ .

$INFO = N + 1$: Unexpected error returned from F08XSF (ZHGEQZ).

$INFO = N + 2$: Error returned from F08YXF (ZTGEVC).

7 Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrices

(A + E)

and

(B + F)

, where

{‖(E, F)‖}_{F} = O (ε) {‖(A, B)‖}_{F},

and

ε

is the machine precision.

An approximate error bound on the chordal distance between the

i

th computed generalized eigenvalue

w

and the corresponding exact eigenvalue

λ

ε \times {‖ABNRM, BBNRM‖}_{2} / RCONDE (i) .

An approximate error bound for the angle between the

i

th computed eigenvector

VL (i)

VR (i)

is given by

ε \times {‖ABNRM, BBNRM‖}_{2} / RCONDV (i) .

For further explanation of the reciprocal condition numbers RCONDE and RCONDV, see Section 4.11 of Anderson et al. (1999).

Note: interpretation of results obtained with the

Q Z

algorithm often requires a clear understanding of the effects of small changes in the original data. These effects are reviewed in Wilkinson (1979), in relation to the significance of small values of

α_{j}

and

β_{j}

. It should be noted that if

α_{j}

and

β_{j}

are both small for any

j

, it may be that no reliance can be placed on any of the computed eigenvalues

λ_{i} = α_{i} / β_{i}

. You are recommended to study Wilkinson (1979) and, if in difficulty, to seek expert advice on determining the sensitivity of the eigenvalues to perturbations in the data.

8 Further Comments

The total number of floating point operations is proportional to

n^{3}

The real analogue of this routine is F08WBF (DGGEVX).

9 Example

This example finds all the eigenvalues and right eigenvectors of the matrix pair

(A, B)

, where

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 21.10 - 22.50 i & 53.50 - 50.50 i & - 34.50 + 127.50 i & 7.50 + 0.50 i \\ - 0.46 - 7.78 i & - 3.50 - 37.50 i & - 15.50 + 58.50 i & - 10.50 - 1.50 i \\ 4.30 - 5.50 i & 39.70 - 17.10 i & - 68.50 + 12.50 i & - 7.50 - 3.50 i \\ 5.50 + 4.40 i & 14.40 + 43.30 i & - 32.50 - 46.00 i & - 19.00 - 32.50 i \end{array})

and

B = (\begin{array}{r} 1.00 - 5.00 i & 1.60 + 1.20 i & - 3.00 + 0.00 i & 0.00 - 1.00 i \\ 0.80 - 0.60 i & 3.00 - 5.00 i & - 4.00 + 3.00 i & - 2.40 - 3.20 i \\ 1.00 + 0.00 i & 2.40 + 1.80 i & - 4.00 - 5.00 i & 0.00 - 3.00 i \\ 0.00 + 1.00 i & - 1.80 + 2.40 i & 0.00 - 4.00 i & 4.00 - 5.00 i \end{array}),

together with estimates of the condition number and forward error bounds for each eigenvalue and eigenvector. The option to balance the matrix pair is used.

Note that the block size (NB) of

64

assumed in this example is not realistic for such a small problem, but should be suitable for large problems.
