Description
is computed using the Schur–Parlett algorithm described in
Higham (2008) and
Davies and Higham (2003). The coefficients of the Taylor series used in the algorithm are evaluated using the numerical differentiation algorithm of
Lyness and Moler (1967).
The scalar function
is supplied via subroutine
f which evaluates
at a number of points
.

On entry:
iflag will be zero.
On exit:
iflag should either be unchanged from its entry value of zero, or may be set nonzero to indicate that there is a problem in evaluating the function
; for instance
may not be defined. If
iflag is returned as nonzero then
f01elf will terminate the computation, with

f is called with the arguments
iuser and
ruser as supplied to
f01elf. You should use the arrays
iuser and
ruser to supply information to
f.
f must either be a module subprogram USEd by, or declared as EXTERNAL in, the (sub)program from which
f01elf is called. Arguments denoted as
Input must
not be changed by this procedure.
Note: f should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by
f01elf. If your code inadvertently
does return any NaNs or infinities,
f01elf is likely to produce unexpected results.

iuser and
ruser are not used by
f01elf, but are passed directly to
f and may be used to pass information to this routine.

iflag has been set nonzero inside

iflag will be the value set and
ifail will be set to

On exit: if

f01elf will use complex arithmetic to compute

imnorm contains the
-norm of the imaginary part, which should be used to check that the routine has given a reliable answer.

On entry:
ifail must be set to

Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation 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, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is

When the value is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit:

Section 6).

Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry
or
, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by
x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
-
A Taylor series failed to converge after terms. Further Taylor series coefficients can no longer reliably be obtained by numerical differentiation.
-
iflag has been set nonzero by the user.
-
There was an error whilst reordering the Schur form of .
Note: this failure should not occur and suggests that the routine has been called incorrectly.
-
The routine was unable to compute the Schur decomposition of .
Note: this failure should not occur and suggests that the routine has been called incorrectly.
-
An unexpected internal error occurred. Please contact
NAG.
-
Input argument number is invalid.
-
On entry, argument
lda is invalid.
Constraint:

Accuracy

(for which
) the Schur decomposition is diagonal and the algorithm reduces to evaluating
at the eigenvalues of

using the Schur vectors. See Section 9.4 of

Lyness and Moler (1967) for a discussion of numerical differentiation.

Parallelism and Performance
f01elf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library. In these implementations, this routine may make calls to the user-supplied functions from within an OpenMP parallel region. Thus OpenMP directives within the user functions can only be used if you are compiling the user-supplied function and linking the executable in accordance with the instructions in the
Users' Note for your implementation. The user workspace arrays
iuser and
ruser are classified as OpenMP shared memory and use of
iuser and
ruser has to take account of this in order to preserve thread safety whenever information is written back to either of these arrays. If at all possible, it is recommended that these arrays are only used to supply read-only data to the user functions when a multithreaded implementation is being used.
f01elf 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 routine. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
The integer allocatable memory required is . If has real eigenvalues then up to of real allocatable memory may be required. If has complex eigenvalues then up to of
complex
allocatable memory may be required.
The cost of the Schur–Parlett algorithm depends on the spectrum of
, but is roughly between
and
floating-point operations. There is an additional cost in numerically differentiating
, in order to obtain the Taylor series coefficients. If the derivatives of
are known analytically, then
f01emf can be used to evaluate
more accurately. If
is real symmetric then it is recommended that
f01eff be used as it is more efficient and, in general, more accurate than
f01elf.
For any on the real line, must be real. must also be complex analytic on the spectrum of . These conditions ensure that is real for real .
For further information on matrix functions, see
Higham (2008).
If estimates of the condition number of the matrix function are required then
f01jbf should be used.
f01flf can be used to find the matrix function
for a complex matrix
