nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_solve (f12fg) is the main solver function in a suite of functions which includes nag_sparseig_real_symm_option (f12fd) and nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_init (f12ff). nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_solve (f12fg) must be called following an initial call to nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_init (f12ff) and following any calls to nag_sparseig_real_symm_option (f12fd).

nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_solve (f12fg) returns approximations to selected eigenvalues, and (optionally) the corresponding eigenvectors, of a standard or generalized eigenvalue problem defined by real banded symmetric matrices. The banded matrix must be stored using the LAPACK storage format for real banded nonsymmetric matrices.

Syntax

[nconv, d, z, resid, v, comm, icomm, ifail] = f12fg(kl, ku, ab, mb, sigma, resid, comm, icomm)

[nconv, d, z, resid, v, comm, icomm, ifail] = nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_solve(kl, ku, ab, mb, sigma, resid, comm, icomm)

Description

The suite of functions is designed to calculate some of the eigenvalues,

λ

, (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors,

x

) of a standard eigenvalue problem

A x = λ x

, or of a generalized eigenvalue problem

A x = λ B x

of order

n

, where

n

is large and the coefficient matrices

A

and

B

are banded, real and symmetric.

Following a call to the initialization function nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_init (f12ff), nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_solve (f12fg) returns the converged approximations to eigenvalues and (optionally) the corresponding approximate eigenvectors and/or an orthonormal basis for the associated approximate invariant subspace. The eigenvalues (and eigenvectors) are selected from those of a standard or generalized eigenvalue problem defined by real banded symmetric matrices. There is negligible additional computational cost to obtain eigenvectors; an orthonormal basis is always computed, but there is an additional storage cost if both are requested.

The banded matrices

A

and

B

must be stored using the LAPACK storage format for banded nonsymmetric matrices; please refer to Packed storage in the F07 Chapter Introduction for details on this storage format.

nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_solve (f12fg) is based on the banded driver functions dsbdr1 to dsbdr6 from the ARPACK package, which uses the Implicitly Restarted Lanczos iteration method. The method is described in Lehoucq and Sorensen (1996) and Lehoucq (2001) while its use within the ARPACK software is described in great detail in Lehoucq et al. (1998). This suite of functions offers the same functionality as the ARPACK banded driver software for real symmetric problems, but the interface design is quite different in order to make the option setting clearer and to combine the different drivers into a general purpose function.

nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_solve (f12fg), is a general purpose forward communication function that must be called following initialization by nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_init (f12ff). nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_solve (f12fg) uses options, set either by default or explicitly by calling nag_sparseig_real_symm_option (f12fd), to return the converged approximations to selected eigenvalues and (optionally):

–	the corresponding approximate eigenvectors;
–	an orthonormal basis for the associated approximate invariant subspace;
–	both.

Constraint: $kl \geq 0$ .
2: $ku$ – int64int32nag_int scalar: The number of superdiagonals of the matrices $A$ and $B$ . Since $A$ and $B$ are symmetric, the normal case is $ku = kl$ .

Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the function:

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

$ifail = 1$: On entry, $kl < 0$ .

$ifail = 2$: On entry, $ku < 0$ .

$ifail = 3$: On entry, $ldab < 2 \times kl + ku + 1$ .

$ifail = 4$: $Iteration Limit < 0$ .

$ifail = 5$: The options Generalized and Regular are incompatible.

$ifail = 6$: Eigenvalues from Both Ends of the spectrum were requested, but only one eigenvalue (nev) is requested.

$ifail = 7$: The Initial Residual was selected but the starting vector held in resid is zero.

$ifail = 8$: On entry, $ldz < \max (1, n)$ or $ldz < 1$ when no vectors are required.

$ifail = 9$: On entry, the option $Vectors = Select$ was selected, but this is not yet implemented.

$ifail = 10$: The number of eigenvalues found to sufficient accuracy is zero.

$ifail = 11$: Could not build a Lanczos factorization. Consider changing ncv or nev in the initialization function (see Arguments in nag_sparseig_real_symm_init (f12fa) for details of these arguments).

$ifail = 12$: Unexpected error in internal call to compute eigenvalues and corresponding error bounds of the current symmetric tridiagonal matrix. Please contact NAG.

$ifail = 13$: Unexpected error during calculation of a real Schur form: there was a failure to compute all the converged eigenvalues. Please contact NAG.

$ifail = 14$: Failure during internal factorization of real banded matrix. Please contact NAG.

$ifail = 15$: Failure during internal solution of real banded system. Please contact NAG.

W $ifail = 16$: The maximum number of iterations has been reached. Some Ritz values may have converged; nconv returns the number of converged values.

$ifail = 17$: No shifts could be applied during a cycle of the implicitly restarted Lanczos iteration. One possibility is to increase the size of ncv relative to nev (see Arguments in nag_sparseig_real_symm_band_init (f12ff) for details of these arguments).

$ifail = 18$: An unexpected error has occurred. Please contact NAG.

$ifail = 19$: The function was unable to dynamically allocate sufficient internal workspace. Please contact NAG.

$ifail = - 99$: An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.

$ifail = - 399$: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.

$ifail = - 999$: Dynamic memory allocation failed.

Accuracy

The relative accuracy of a Ritz value,

λ

, is considered acceptable if its Ritz estimate

\leq Tolerance \times |λ|

. The default Tolerance used is the machine precision given by nag_machine_precision (x02aj).

Further Comments

None.
