NAG Toolbox: nag_matop_complex_gen_matrix_cond_sqrt (f01kd)
Purpose
nag_matop_complex_gen_matrix_cond_sqrt (f01kd) computes an estimate of the relative condition number, , and a bound on the relative residual, in the Frobenius norm, for the square root of a complex by matrix . The principal square root, , of is also returned.
Syntax
Description
For a matrix with no eigenvalues on the closed negative real line, the principal matrix square root, , of is the unique square root with eigenvalues in the right half-plane.
The Fréchet derivative of a matrix function
in the direction of the matrix
is the linear function mapping
to
such that
The absolute condition number is given by the norm of the Fréchet derivative which is defined by
The Fréchet derivative is linear in
and can therefore be written as
where the
operator stacks the columns of a matrix into one vector, so that
is
.
nag_matop_complex_gen_matrix_cond_sqrt (f01kd) uses Algorithm 3.20 from
Higham (2008) to compute an estimate
such that

is computed using the algorithm described in
Higham (1987). This is a version of the algorithm of
Björck and Hammarling (1983). In addition, a blocking scheme described in
Deadman et al. (2013) is used.
The computed quantity
is a measure of the stability of the relative residual (see
Accuracy). It is computed via

Error Indicators and Warnings
Errors or warnings detected by the function:
-
-
has a negative or semisimple vanishing eigenvalue. A non-principal square root was returned.
-
-
has a defective vanishing eigenvalue. The square root and condition number cannot be found in this case.
-
-
An error occurred when computing the matrix square root. Consequently,
alpha and
condsa could not be computed. It is likely that the function was called incorrectly.
-
-
An error occurred when computing the condition number. The matrix square root was still returned but you should use
nag_matop_complex_gen_matrix_sqrt (f01fn) to check if it is the principal matrix square root.

Further Comments
Approximately of complex allocatable memory is required by the function.
The cost of computing the matrix square root is floating-point operations. The cost of computing the condition number depends on how fast the algorithm converges. It typically takes over twice as long as computing the matrix square root.
If condition estimates are not required then it is more efficient to use
nag_matop_complex_gen_matrix_sqrt (f01fn) to obtain the matrix square root alone. Condition estimates for the square root of a real matrix can be obtained via
nag_matop_real_gen_matrix_cond_sqrt (f01jd).
