NAG Toolbox: nag_lapack_dstedc (f08jh)
Purpose
nag_lapack_dstedc (f08jh) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a real by symmetric tridiagonal matrix, or of a real full or banded symmetric matrix which has been reduced to tridiagonal form.
Syntax
Description
nag_lapack_dstedc (f08jh) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, the eigenvectors of a real symmetric tridiagonal matrix
. That is, the function computes the spectral factorization of
given by
where
is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues,
, of
and
is an orthogonal matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors,
, of
. Thus
The function may also be used to compute all the eigenvalues and vectors of a real full, or banded, symmetric matrix
which has been reduced to tridiagonal form
as
where
is orthogonal. The spectral factorization of
is then given by
In this case
must be formed explicitly and passed to
nag_lapack_dstedc (f08jh) in the array
z, and the function called with
. Functions which may be called to form
and
are
When only eigenvalues are required then this function calls
nag_lapack_dsterf (f08jf) to compute the eigenvalues of the tridiagonal matrix
, but when eigenvectors of
are also required and the matrix is not too small, then a divide and conquer method is used, which can be much faster than
nag_lapack_dsteqr (f08je), although more storage is required.

Error Indicators and Warnings
Cases prefixed with W are classified as warnings and
do not generate an error of type NAG:error_n. See nag_issue_warnings.

It is possible that

Accuracy
The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix
, where
and
is the
machine precision.
If
is an exact eigenvalue and
is the corresponding computed value, then
where
is a modestly increasing function of
.
If
is the corresponding exact eigenvector, and
is the corresponding computed eigenvector, then the angle
between them is bounded as follows:
Thus the accuracy of a computed eigenvector depends on the gap between its eigenvalue and all the other eigenvalues.
See Section 4.7 of
Anderson et al. (1999) for further details. See also
nag_lapack_ddisna (f08fl).
Further Comments
If only eigenvalues are required, the total number of floating-point operations is approximately proportional to
. When eigenvectors are required the number of operations is bounded above by approximately the same number of operations as
nag_lapack_dsteqr (f08je), but for large matrices
nag_lapack_dstedc (f08jh) is usually much faster.
The complex analogue of this function is
nag_lapack_zstedc (f08jv).
Example
This example finds all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the symmetric band matrix
is first reduced to tridiagonal form by a call to
nag_lapack_dsbtrd (f08he).
