nag_dsyevr (f08fdc)

void	nag_dsyevr (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_JobType job, Nag_RangeType range, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, double a[], Integer pda, double vl, double vu, Integer il, Integer iu, double abstol, Integer m, double w[], double z[], Integer pdz, Integer isuppz[], NagError fail)

3 Description

The symmetric matrix is first reduced to a tridiagonal matrix

T

, using orthogonal similarity transformations. Then whenever possible, nag_dsyevr (f08fdc) computes the eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations. nag_dsyevr (f08fdc) computes eigenvalues by the dqds algorithm, while orthogonal eigenvectors are computed from various ‘good’

L D L^{T}

representations (also known as Relatively Robust Representations). Gram–Schmidt orthogonalization is avoided as far as possible. More specifically, the various steps of the algorithm are as follows. For the

i

th unreduced block of

T

(a)	compute $T - σ_{i} I = L_{i} D_{i} L_{i}^{T}$ , such that $L_{i} D_{i} L_{i}^{T}$ is a relatively robust representation,
(b)	compute the eigenvalues, $λ_{j}$ , of $L_{i} D_{i} L_{i}^{T}$ to high relative accuracy by the dqds algorithm,
(c)	if there is a cluster of close eigenvalues, ‘choose’ $σ_{i}$ close to the cluster, and go to (a),
(d)	given the approximate eigenvalue $λ_{j}$ of $L_{i} D_{i} L_{i}^{T}$ , compute the corresponding eigenvector by forming a rank-revealing twisted factorization.

The desired accuracy of the output can be specified by the argument abstol. For more details, see Dhillon (1997) and Parlett and Dhillon (2000).

A

is stored.

Constraint:

, the order of the matrix

A

\max (1, pda \times n)

On entry: the

n

n

symmetric matrix

A

, the lower triangular part of

A

must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.

On exit: the lower triangle (if

if $range = Nag_Indices$ and $n > 0$ , $1 \leq il \leq iu \leq n$ .

12: abstol – doubleInput

On entry: the absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues. An approximate eigenvalue is accepted as converged when it is determined to lie in an interval

[a, b]

of width less than or equal to

abstol + ε \max (|a|, |b|),

where

ε

is the machine precision. If abstol is less than or equal to zero, then

ε {‖T‖}_{1}

will be used in its place, where

T

is the tridiagonal matrix obtained by reducing

A

to tridiagonal form. See Demmel and Kahan (1990).

If high relative accuracy is important, set abstol to

nag_real_safe_small_number ()

, 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.

{‖E‖}_{2} = O (ε) {‖A‖}_{2},

and

ε

is the machine precision. See Section 4.7 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_dsyevr (f08fdc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_dsyevr (f08fdc) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
