Parameters

Compulsory Input Parameters

1:     $\mathrm{jobz}$ – string (length ≥ 1)

Indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.

$\mathbf{jobz}=\text{'N'}$

Only eigenvalues are computed.

$\mathbf{jobz}=\text{'V'}$

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.

Constraint: $\mathbf{jobz}=\text{'N'}$ or $\text{'V'}$.

2:     $\mathrm{range}$ – string (length ≥ 1)

If $\mathbf{range}=\text{'A'}$, all eigenvalues will be found.

If $\mathbf{range}=\text{'V'}$, all eigenvalues in the half-open interval $\left(\mathbf{vl},\mathbf{vu}\right]$ will be found.

If $\mathbf{range}=\text{'I'}$, the ilth to iuth eigenvalues will be found.

Constraint: $\mathbf{range}=\text{'A'}$, $\text{'V'}$ or $\text{'I'}$.

3:     $\mathrm{d}\left(:\right)$ – double array

The dimension of the array d must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$

The $n$ diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix $T$.

4:     $\mathrm{e}\left(:\right)$ – double array

The dimension of the array e must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}-1\right)$

The $\left(n-1\right)$ subdiagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix $T$.

5:     $\mathrm{vl}$ – double scalar

6:     $\mathrm{vu}$ – double scalar

If $\mathbf{range}=\text{'V'}$, the lower and upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues.

If $\mathbf{range}=\text{'A'}$ or $\text{'I'}$, vl and vu are not referenced.

Constraint: if $\mathbf{range}=\text{'V'}$, $\mathbf{vl}<\mathbf{vu}$.

7:     $\mathrm{il}$ – int64int32nag_int scalar

8:     $\mathrm{iu}$ – int64int32nag_int scalar

If $\mathbf{range}=\text{'I'}$, the indices (in ascending order) of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned.

If $\mathbf{range}=\text{'A'}$ or $\text{'V'}$, il and iu are not referenced.

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{range}=\text{'I'}$ and $\mathbf{n}=0$, $\mathbf{il}=1$ and $\mathbf{iu}=0$;
• if $\mathbf{range}=\text{'I'}$ and $\mathbf{n}>0$, $1\le \mathbf{il}\le \mathbf{iu}\le \mathbf{n}$.

9:     $\mathrm{abstol}$ – double scalar

The absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues. An approximate eigenvalue is accepted as converged when it is determined to lie in an interval $\left[a,b\right]$ of width less than or equal to

$$\mathbf{abstol}+\epsilon \max \left(\left|a\right|,\left|b\right|\right)\text{,}$$

where $\epsilon$ is the machine precision. If abstol is less than or equal to zero, then $\epsilon {‖T‖}_1$ will be used in its place. See Demmel and Kahan (1990).

If high relative accuracy is important, set abstol to $\mathbf{x02am}\left( \right)$, although doing so does not currently guarantee that eigenvalues are computed to high relative accuracy. See Barlow and Demmel (1990) for a discussion of which matrices can define their eigenvalues to high relative accuracy.

Optional Input Parameters

1:     $\mathrm{n}$ – int64int32nag_int scalar

Default: the dimension of the array d.

$n$, the order of the matrix.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

Output Parameters

1:     $\mathrm{d}\left(:\right)$ – double array

The dimension of the array d will be $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$

May be multiplied by a constant factor chosen to avoid over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.

2:     $\mathrm{e}\left(:\right)$ – double array

The dimension of the array e will be $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}-1\right)$

May be multiplied by a constant factor chosen to avoid over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.

3:     $\mathrm{m}$ – int64int32nag_int scalar

The total number of eigenvalues found. $0\le \mathbf{m}\le \mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{range}=\text{'A'}$, $\mathbf{m}=\mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{range}=\text{'I'}$, $\mathbf{m}=\mathbf{iu}-\mathbf{il}+1$.

4:     $\mathrm{w}\left(:\right)$ – double array

The dimension of the array w will be $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$

The first m elements contain the selected eigenvalues in ascending order.

5:     $\mathrm{z}\left(\mathit{ldz},:\right)$ – double array

The first dimension, $\mathit{ldz}$, of the array z will be

• if $\mathbf{jobz}=\text{'V'}$, $\mathit{ldz}=\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$;
• otherwise $\mathit{ldz}=1$.

The second dimension of the array z will be $\max \left(1,\mathbf{m}\right)$ if $\mathbf{jobz}=\text{'V'}$ and $1$ otherwise.

If $\mathbf{jobz}=\text{'V'}$, the first m columns of $Z$ contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix $A$ corresponding to the selected eigenvalues, with the $i$th column of $Z$ holding the eigenvector associated with $\mathbf{w}\left(i\right)$.

If $\mathbf{jobz}=\text{'N'}$, z is not referenced.

6:     $\mathrm{isuppz}\left(:\right)$ – int64int32nag_int array

The dimension of the array isuppz will be $\max \left(1,2\times \mathbf{m}\right)$

The support of the eigenvectors in z, i.e., the indices indicating the nonzero elements in z. The $i$th eigenvector is nonzero only in elements $\mathbf{isuppz}\left(2\times i-1\right)$ through $\mathbf{isuppz}\left(2\times i\right)$. Implemented only for $\mathbf{range}=\text{'A'}$ or $\text{'I'}$ and $\mathbf{iu}-\mathbf{il}=\mathbf{n}-1$.

7:     $\mathrm{info}$ – int64int32nag_int scalar

$\mathbf{info}=0$ unless the function detects an error (see Error Indicators and Warnings).

Error Indicators and Warnings

   $\mathbf{info}=-i$

If $\mathbf{info}=-i$, parameter $i$ had an illegal value on entry. The parameters are numbered as follows:

1: jobz, 2: range, 3: n, 4: d, 5: e, 6: vl, 7: vu, 8: il, 9: iu, 10: abstol, 11: m, 12: w, 13: z, 14: ldz, 15: isuppz, 16: work, 17: lwork, 18: iwork, 19: liwork, 20: info.

It is possible that info refers to a parameter that is omitted from the MATLAB interface. This usually indicates that an error in one of the other input parameters has caused an incorrect value to be inferred.

   $\mathbf{info}>0$

An internal error has occurred in this function. Please refer to info in nag_lapack_dstebz (f08jj).
