The symmetric band matrix is first reduced to tridiagonal form, using orthogonal similarity transformations, and then the algorithm is applied to the tridiagonal matrix to compute the eigenvalues and (optionally) the eigenvectors.

5 Arguments
1:
order – Nag_OrderTypeInput
On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by . See Section 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint:
or .
2:
job – Nag_JobTypeInput
On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
Only eigenvalues are computed.
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.
Constraint:
or .
3:
uplo – Nag_UploTypeInput
On entry: if , the upper triangular part of is stored.
If , the lower triangular part of is stored.
Constraint:
or .
4:
n – IntegerInput
On entry: , the order of the matrix .
Constraint:
.
5:
kd – IntegerInput
On entry: if , the number of superdiagonals, , of the matrix .
If , the number of subdiagonals, , of the matrix .
Constraint:
.
6:
ab[] – doubleInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ab
must be at least
.
On entry: the upper or lower triangle of the by symmetric band matrix .
This is stored as a notional two-dimensional array with row elements or column elements stored contiguously. The storage of elements of , depends on the order and uplo arguments as follows:
if and ,
is stored in , for and ;
if and ,
is stored in , for and ;
if and ,
is stored in , for and ;
if and ,
is stored in , for and .
On exit: ab is overwritten by values generated during the reduction to tridiagonal form.
The first superdiagonal or subdiagonal and the diagonal of the tridiagonal matrix are returned in ab using the same storage format as described above.

8 Parallelism and Performance
nag_dsbev (f08hac) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_dsbev (f08hac) 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.
Please consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
