Description
Balancing may reduce the
-norms of the matrices and improve the accuracy of the computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors in the real generalized eigenvalue problem
nag_lapack_dggbal (f08wh) is usually the first step in the solution of the above generalized eigenvalue problem. Balancing is optional but it is highly recommended.
The term ‘balancing’ covers two steps, each of which involves similarity transformations on
and
. The function can perform either or both of these steps. Both steps are optional.
1. |
The function first attempts to permute and to block upper triangular form by a similarity transformation:
where is a permutation matrix, , , and are upper triangular. Then the diagonal elements of the matrix pairs and are generalized eigenvalues of . The rest of the generalized eigenvalues are given by the matrix pair which are in rows and columns to . Subsequent operations to compute the generalized eigenvalues of need only be applied to the matrix pair ; this can save a significant amount of work if and . If no suitable permutation exists (as is often the case), the function sets and . |
2. |
The function applies a diagonal similarity transformation to , to make the rows and columns of as close in norm as possible:
This transformation usually improves the accuracy of computed generalized eigenvalues and eigenvectors. |

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.
Accuracy
The errors are negligible, compared to those in subsequent computations.
Further Comments
nag_lapack_dggbal (f08wh) is usually the first step in computing the real generalized eigenvalue problem but it is an optional step. The matrix
is reduced to the upper triangular form using the
factorization function
nag_lapack_dgeqrf (f08ae) and this orthogonal transformation
is applied to the matrix
by calling
nag_lapack_dormqr (f08ag). This is followed by
nag_lapack_dgghrd (f08we) which reduces the matrix pair into the generalized Hessenberg form.
If the matrix pair
is balanced by this function, then any generalized eigenvectors computed subsequently are eigenvectors of the balanced matrix pair. In that case, to compute the generalized eigenvectors of the original matrix,
nag_lapack_dggbak (f08wj) must be called.
The total number of floating-point operations is approximately proportional to .
The complex analogue of this function is
nag_lapack_zggbal (f08wv).
