1 Purpose

nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (f12apc) is an iterative solver in a suite of functions consisting of nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_init (f12anc), nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (f12apc), nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_sol (f12aqc), nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12arc) and nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_monit (f12asc). It is used to find some of the eigenvalues (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors) of a standard or generalized eigenvalue problem defined by complex nonsymmetric matrices.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

#include <nagf12.h>

void	nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (Integer irevcm, Complex resid[], Complex v[], Complex x, Complex y, Complex mx, Integer nshift, Complex comm[], Integer icomm[], NagError *fail)

3 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 sparse, complex and nonsymmetric. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale dense, complex and nonsymmetric problems.

nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (f12apc) is a reverse communication function, based on the ARPACK routine znaupd, using the Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi 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). An evaluation of software for computing eigenvalues of sparse nonsymmetric matrices is provided in Lehoucq and Scott (1996). This suite of functions offers the same functionality as the ARPACK software for complex nonsymmetric problems, but the interface design is quite different in order to make the option setting clearer and to simplify the interface of nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (f12apc).

The setup function nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_init (f12anc) must be called before nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (f12apc), the reverse communication iterative solver. Options may be set for nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (f12apc) by prior calls to the option setting function nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12arc) and a post-processing function nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_sol (f12aqc) must be called following a successful final exit from nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (f12apc). nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_monit (f12asc) may be called following certain flagged intermediate exits from nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (f12apc) to provide additional monitoring information about the computation.

nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (f12apc) uses reverse communication, i.e., it returns repeatedly to the calling program with the argument irevcm (see Section 5) set to specified values which require the calling program to carry out one of the following tasks:

–	compute the matrix-vector product $y = OP x$ , where $OP$ is defined by the computational mode;
–	compute the matrix-vector product $y = B x$ ;
–	notify the completion of the computation;
–	allow the calling program to monitor the solution.

The problem type to be solved (standard or generalized), the spectrum of eigenvalues of interest, the mode used (regular, regular inverse, shifted inverse, shifted real or shifted imaginary) and other options can all be set using the option setting function nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12arc) (see Section 11.1 in nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12arc) for details on setting options and of the default settings).

5 Arguments

Note: this function uses reverse communication. Its use involves an initial entry, intermediate exits and re-entries, and a final exit, as indicated by the argument irevcm. Between intermediate exits and re-entries, all arguments other than x and y must remain unchanged.

1: $irevcm$ – Integer *Input/Output

On initial entry:

irevcm = 0

, otherwise an error condition will be raised.

On intermediate re-entry: must be unchanged from its previous exit value. Changing irevcm to any other value between calls will result in an error.

On intermediate exit: has the following meanings.

$irevcm = - 1$: The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product $y = OP x$ , where $x$ is stored in x and the result $y$ is placed in y.
$irevcm = 1$: The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product $y = OP x$ . This is similar to the case $irevcm = - 1$ except that the result of the matrix-vector product $B x$ (as required in some computational modes) has already been computed and is available in mx.
$irevcm = 2$: The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product $y = B x$ , where $x$ is stored in x and $y$ is placed in y.
$irevcm = 3$: Compute the nshift complex shifts to be placed in the first nshift locations of the array y. This value of irevcm will only arise if the optional argument $Supplied Shifts$ is set in a prior call to nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12arc) which is intended for experienced users only; the default and recommended option is to use exact shifts (see Lehoucq et al. (1998) for details).
$irevcm = 4$: Monitoring step: a call to nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_monit (f12asc) can now be made to return the number of Arnoldi iterations, the number of converged Ritz values, the array of converged values, and the corresponding Ritz estimates.

On final exit:

irevcm = 5

: nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter (f12apc) has completed its tasks. The value of

fail . code

determines whether the iteration has been successfully completed, or whether errors have been detected. On successful completion nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_sol (f12aqc) must be called to return the requested eigenvalues and eigenvectors (and/or Schur vectors).

Constraint: on initial entry,

irevcm = 0

; on re-entry irevcm must remain unchanged.

2: $resid [\dim]$ – ComplexInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array resid must be at least

n

(see nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_init (f12anc)).

On initial entry: need not be set unless the option

Initial Residual

has been set in a prior call to nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12arc) in which case resid should contain an initial residual vector, possibly from a previous run.

On intermediate re-entry: must be unchanged from its previous exit. Changing resid to any other value between calls may result in an error exit.

On intermediate exit: contains the current residual vector.

On final exit: contains the final residual vector.

3: $v [n \times ncv]$ – ComplexInput/Output

The

i

th element of the

j

th basis vector is stored in location

v [n \times (i - 1) + j - 1]

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, n

and

j = 1, 2, \dots, ncv

On initial entry: need not be set.

On intermediate re-entry: must be unchanged from its previous exit.

On intermediate exit: contains the current set of Arnoldi basis vectors.

On final exit: contains the final set of Arnoldi basis vectors.

4: $x$ – Complex **Input/Output

On initial entry: need not be set, it is used as a convenient mechanism for accessing elements of comm.

On intermediate re-entry: is not normally changed.

On intermediate exit: contains the vector

x

when irevcm returns the value

- 1

+ 1

2

On final exit: does not contain useful data.

5: $y$ – Complex **Input/Output

On initial entry: need not be set, it is used as a convenient mechanism for accessing elements of comm.

On intermediate re-entry: must contain the result of

y = OP x

when irevcm returns the value

- 1

+ 1

. It must contain the computed shifts when irevcm returns the value

3

On intermediate exit: does not contain useful data.

On final exit: does not contain useful data.

6: $mx$ – Complex **Input/Output

On initial entry: need not be set, it is used as a convenient mechanism for accessing elements of comm.

On intermediate re-entry: must contain the result of

y = B x

when irevcm returns the value

2

On intermediate exit: contains the vector

B x

when irevcm returns the value

+ 1

On final exit: does not contain any useful data.

7: $nshift$ – Integer *Output

On intermediate exit: if the option

Supplied Shifts

is set and irevcm returns a value of

3

, nshift returns the number of complex shifts required.

8: $comm [\dim]$ – ComplexCommunication Array

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array comm must be at least

\max (1, lcomm)

(see nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_init (f12anc)).

On initial entry: must remain unchanged following a call to the setup function nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_init (f12anc).

On exit: contains data defining the current state of the iterative process.

9: $icomm [\dim]$ – IntegerCommunication Array

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array icomm must be at least

\max (1, licomm)

(see nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_init (f12anc)).

On initial entry: must remain unchanged following a call to the setup function nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_init (f12anc).

On exit: contains data defining the current state of the iterative process.

10: $fail$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.2.1.2 in the Essential Introduction for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM: On entry, argument $〈value〉$ had an illegal value.
NE_INITIALIZATION: Either the initialization function has not been called prior to the first call of this function or a communication array has become corrupted.
NE_INT: The maximum number of iterations $\leq 0$ , the option $Iteration Limit$ has been set to $〈value〉$ .
NE_INTERNAL_EIGVAL_FAIL: Error in internal call to compute eigenvalues and corresponding error bounds of the current upper Hessenberg matrix. Please contact NAG.
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR: An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.

An unexpected error has been triggered by this function. Please contact NAG.
See Section 3.6.6 in the Essential Introduction for further information.
NE_MAX_ITER: The maximum number of iterations has been reached. The maximum number of $iterations = 〈value〉$ . The number of converged eigenvalues $= 〈value〉$ . The post-processing function nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_sol (f12aqc) may be called to recover the converged eigenvalues at this point. Alternatively, the maximum number of iterations may be increased by a call to the option setting function nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_option (f12arc) and the reverse communication loop restarted. A large number of iterations may indicate a poor choice for the values of nev and ncv; it is advisable to experiment with these values to reduce the number of iterations (see nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_init (f12anc)).
NE_NO_ARNOLDI_FAC: Could not build an Arnoldi factorization. The size of the current Arnoldi factorization $= 〈value〉$ .
NE_NO_LICENCE: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 3.6.5 in the Essential Introduction for further information.
NE_NO_SHIFTS_APPLIED: No shifts could be applied during a cycle of the implicitly restarted Arnoldi iteration.
NE_OPT_INCOMPAT: The options $Generalized$ and $Regular$ are incompatible.
NE_ZERO_INIT_RESID: The option $Initial Residual$ was selected but the starting vector held in resid is zero.
