3 Description
F08FEF (DSYTRD) reduces a real symmetric matrix to symmetric tridiagonal form by an orthogonal similarity transformation: .
The matrix
is not formed explicitly but is represented as a product of
elementary reflectors (see the
F08 Chapter Introduction for details). Routines are provided to work with
in this representation (see
Section 9).

5 Parameters
- 1: – CHARACTER(1)Input
-
On entry: indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of
is stored.
- The upper triangular part of is stored.
- The lower triangular part of is stored.
Constraint:
or .
- 2: – INTEGERInput
-
On entry: , the order of the matrix .
Constraint:
.
- 3: – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
-
Note: the second dimension of the array
A
must be at least
.
On entry: the
by
symmetric matrix
.
- If , the upper triangular part of must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
- If , the lower triangular part of must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
On exit:
A is overwritten by the tridiagonal matrix
and details of the orthogonal matrix
as specified by
UPLO.
- 4: – INTEGERInput
-
On entry: the first dimension of the array
A as declared in the (sub)program from which F08FEF (DSYTRD) is called.
Constraint:
.
- 5: – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
-
Note: the dimension of the array
D
must be at least
.
On exit: the diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix .
- 6: – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
-
Note: the dimension of the array
E

Note: the dimension of the array
TAU
must be at least
.
On exit: further details of the orthogonal matrix .
- 8: – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace

LWORK required for optimal performance.
- 9: – INTEGERInput
-
On entry: the dimension of the array
WORK as declared in the (sub)program from which F08FEF (DSYTRD) is called.
If
, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the
WORK array, returns this value as the first entry of the
WORK array, and no error message related to
LWORK is issued.
Suggested value:
for optimal performance, , where is the optimal block size.
Constraint:
or .
- 10: – INTEGEROutput
On exit:
unless the routine detects an error (see
Section 6).
6 Error Indicators and Warnings
-
If , argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
7 Accuracy
The computed tridiagonal matrix
is exactly similar to a nearby matrix
, where
is a modestly increasing function of
, and
is the
machine precision.
The elements of themselves may be sensitive to small perturbations in or to rounding errors in the computation, but this does not affect the stability of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
8 Parallelism and Performance
F08FEF (DSYTRD) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
F08FEF (DSYTRD) 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
X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
The total number of floating-point operations is approximately .
To form the orthogonal matrix
F08FEF (DSYTRD) may be followed by a call to
F08FFF (DORGTR):
CALL DORGTR(UPLO,N,A,LDA,TAU,WORK,LWORK,INFO)
To apply
to an
by
real matrix
F08FEF (DSYTRD) may be followed by a call to
F08FGF (DORMTR). For example,
CALL DORMTR('Left',UPLO,'No Transpose',N,P,A,LDA,TAU,C,LDC, &
WORK,LWORK,INFO)
forms the matrix product
.
The complex analogue of this routine is
F08FSF (ZHETRD).
