5  Arguments

1:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the order of the matrix $A$ (and the order of the matrix $B$ for the generalized problem) that defines the eigenvalue problem.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}>0$.

2:    $\mathbf{nev}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the number of eigenvalues to be computed.

Constraint: $0<\mathbf{nev}<\mathbf{n}-1$.

3:    $\mathbf{ncv}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the number of Lanczos basis vectors to use during the computation.

At present there is no a priori analysis to guide the selection of ncv relative to nev. However, it is recommended that $\mathbf{ncv}\ge 2\times \mathbf{nev}+1$. If many problems of the same type are to be solved, you should experiment with increasing ncv while keeping nev fixed for a given test problem. This will usually decrease the required number of matrix-vector operations but it also increases the work and storage required to maintain the orthogonal basis vectors. The optimal ‘cross-over’ with respect to CPU time is problem dependent and must be determined empirically.

Constraint: $\mathbf{nev}<\mathbf{ncv}\le \mathbf{n}$.

4:    $\mathbf{icomm}\left[\max \left(1,\mathbf{licomm}\right)\right]$ – IntegerCommunication Array

On exit: contains data to be communicated to nag_real_symm_banded_sparse_eigensystem_sol (f12fgc).

5:    $\mathbf{licomm}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the dimension of the array icomm.

If $\mathbf{licomm}=-1$, a workspace query is assumed and the function only calculates the required dimensions of icomm and comm, which it returns in $\mathbf{icomm}\left[0\right]$ and $\mathbf{comm}\left[0\right]$ respectively.

Constraint: $\mathbf{licomm}\ge 140\text{ or }\mathbf{licomm}=-1$.

6:    $\mathbf{comm}\left[\max \left(1,\mathbf{lcomm}\right)\right]$ – doubleCommunication Array

On exit: contains data to be communicated to nag_real_symm_banded_sparse_eigensystem_sol (f12fgc).

7:    $\mathbf{lcomm}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the dimension of the array comm.

If $\mathbf{lcomm}=-1$, a workspace query is assumed and the function only calculates the dimensions of icomm and comm required by nag_real_symm_banded_sparse_eigensystem_sol (f12fgc), which it returns in $\mathbf{icomm}\left[0\right]$ and $\mathbf{comm}\left[0\right]$ respectively.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lcomm}\ge 60\text{ or }\mathbf{lcomm}=-1$.

8:    $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError *Input/Output

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