Description
A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices is a scalar or a ratio , such that is singular. It is usually represented as the pair , as there is a reasonable interpretation for , and even for both being zero.
The right eigenvector
corresponding to the eigenvalue
of
satisfies
The left eigenvector
corresponding to the eigenvalue
of
satisfies
where
is the conjugate-transpose of
.
All the eigenvalues and, if required, all the eigenvectors of the generalized eigenproblem
, where
and
are real, square matrices, are determined using the
algorithm. The
algorithm consists of four stages:
1. |
is reduced to upper Hessenberg form and at the same time is reduced to upper triangular form. |
2. |
is further reduced to quasi-triangular form while the triangular form of is maintained. This is the real generalized Schur form of the pair . |
3. |
The quasi-triangular form of is reduced to triangular form and the eigenvalues extracted. This function does not actually produce the eigenvalues , but instead returns and such that
The division by becomes your responsibility, since may be zero, indicating an infinite eigenvalue. Pairs of complex eigenvalues occur with and complex conjugates, even though and are not conjugate. |
4. |
If the eigenvectors are required they are obtained from the triangular matrices and then transformed back into the original coordinate system. |

do not generate an error of type NAG:error_n. See nag_issue_warnings.

Accuracy
The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrices
and
, where
and
is the
machine precision. See Section 4.11 of
Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
Note: interpretation of results obtained with the
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
and
. It should be noted that if
and
are
both small for any
, it may be that no reliance can be placed on
any of the computed eigenvalues
. 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.
Further Comments
