3  Description

F02ECF computes selected eigenvalues and the corresponding right eigenvectors of a real general matrix A:
Axi = λi xi .
Eigenvalues λi may be selected either by modulus, satisfying:
wl λi wu ,
or by real part, satisfying:
wl Reλi wu .
Note that even though A is real, λi and xi may be complex. If xi is an eigenvector corresponding to a complex eigenvalue λi, then the complex conjugate vector x-i is the eigenvector corresponding to the complex conjugate eigenvalue λ-i. The eigenvalues in a complex conjugate pair λi and λ-i are either both selected or both not selected.

5  Parameters

1:     CRIT – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: indicates the criterion for selecting eigenvalues.
CRIT='M'
Eigenvalues are selected according to their moduli: wlλiwu.
CRIT='R'
Eigenvalues are selected according to their real parts: wlReλiwu.
Constraint: CRIT='M' or 'R'.
2:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: N0.
3:     A(LDA,N) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
On entry: the n by n general matrix A.
On exit: contains the Hessenberg form of the balanced input matrix A (see Section 8).
4:     LDA – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array A as declared in the (sub)program from which F02ECF is called.
Constraint: LDAmax1,N.
5:     WL – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
6:     WU – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
On entry: wl and wu, the lower and upper bounds on the criterion for the selected eigenvalues (see CRIT).
Constraint: WU>WL.
7:     MEST – INTEGERInput
On entry: the second dimension of the arrays VR and VI as declared in the (sub)program from which F02ECF is called. MEST must be an upper bound on m, the number of eigenvalues and eigenvectors selected. No eigenvectors are computed if MEST<m.
Constraint: MESTmax1,m.
8:     M – INTEGEROutput
On exit: m, the number of eigenvalues actually selected.
9:     WR(N) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
10:   WI(N) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: the first M elements of WR and WI hold the real and imaginary parts, respectively, of the selected eigenvalues; elements M+1 to N contain the other eigenvalues. Complex conjugate pairs of eigenvalues are stored in consecutive elements of the arrays, with the eigenvalue having positive imaginary part first. See also Section 8.
11:   VR(LDVR,MEST) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: contains the real parts of the selected eigenvectors, with the ith column holding the real part of the eigenvector associated with the eigenvalue λi (stored in WRi and WIi).
12:   LDVR – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array VR as declared in the (sub)program from which F02ECF is called.
Constraint: LDVRmax1,N.
13:   VI(LDVI,MEST) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: contains the imaginary parts of the selected eigenvectors, with the ith column holding the imaginary part of the eigenvector associated with the eigenvalue λi (stored in WRi and WIi).
14:   LDVI – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array VI as declared in the (sub)program from which F02ECF is called.
Constraint: LDVImax1,N.
15:   WORK(LWORK) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
16:   LWORK – INTEGERInput
On entry: the dimension of the array WORK as declared in the (sub)program from which F02ECF is called.
Constraint: LWORKmax1,N×N+4.
17:   IWORK(N) – INTEGER arrayWorkspace
18:   BWORK(N) – LOGICAL arrayWorkspace
19:   IFAIL – INTEGERInput/Output
On entry: IFAIL must be set to 0, -1​ or ​1. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value -1​ or ​1 is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is 0. When the value -1​ or ​1 is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit: IFAIL=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry IFAIL=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by X04AAF).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
IFAIL=1
On entry,CRIT'M' or 'R',
orN<0,
orLDA<max1,N,
orWUWL,
orMEST<1,
orLDVR<max1,N,
orLDVI<max1,N,
orLWORK<max1,N×N+4.
IFAIL=2
The QR algorithm failed to compute all the eigenvalues. No eigenvectors have been computed.
IFAIL=3
There are more than MEST eigenvalues in the specified range. The actual number of eigenvalues in the range is returned in M. No eigenvectors have been computed. Rerun with the second dimension of VR and VI=MESTM.
IFAIL=4
Inverse iteration failed to compute all the specified eigenvectors. If an eigenvector failed to converge, the corresponding column of VR and VI is set to zero.

7  Accuracy

If λi is an exact eigenvalue, and λ~i is the corresponding computed value, then
λ~i-λicnεA2si,
where cn is a modestly increasing function of n, ε is the machine precision, and si is the reciprocal condition number of λi; A is the balanced form of the original matrix A (see Section 8), and AA.
If xi is the corresponding exact eigenvector, and x~i is the corresponding computed eigenvector, then the angle θx~i,xi between them is bounded as follows:
θx~i,xicnεA2sepi,
where sepi is the reciprocal condition number of xi.
The condition numbers si and sepi may be computed from the Hessenberg form of the balanced matrix A which is returned in the array A. This requires calling F08PEF (DHSEQR) with JOB='S' to compute the Schur form of A, followed by F08QLF (DTRSNA).

8  Further Comments

F02ECF calls routines from LAPACK in Chapter F08. It first balances the matrix, using a diagonal similarity transformation to reduce its norm; and then reduces the balanced matrix A to upper Hessenberg form H, using an orthogonal similarity transformation: A=QHQT. The routine uses the Hessenberg QR algorithm to compute all the eigenvalues of H, which are the same as the eigenvalues of A. It computes the eigenvectors of H which correspond to the selected eigenvalues, using inverse iteration. It premultiplies the eigenvectors by Q to form the eigenvectors of A; and finally transforms the eigenvectors to those of the original matrix A.
Each eigenvector x (real or complex) is normalized so that x2=1, and the element of largest absolute value is real and positive.
The inverse iteration routine may make a small perturbation to the real parts of close eigenvalues, and this may shift their moduli just outside the specified bounds. If you are relying on eigenvalues being within the bounds, you should test them on return from F02ECF.
The time taken by the routine is approximately proportional to n3.
The routine can be used to compute all eigenvalues and eigenvectors, by setting WL large and negative, and WU large and positive.
