1 Purpose

F08HEF (DSBTRD) reduces a real symmetric band matrix to tridiagonal form.

2 Specification

SUBROUTINE F08HEF (

VECT, UPLO, N, KD, AB, LDAB, D, E, Q, LDQ, WORK, INFO)

INTEGER	N, KD, LDAB, LDQ, INFO
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)	AB(LDAB,), D(N), E(N-1), Q(LDQ,), WORK(N)
CHARACTER(1)	VECT, UPLO

The routine may be called by its LAPACK name dsbtrd.

3 Description

F08HEF (DSBTRD) reduces a symmetric band matrix

A

to symmetric tridiagonal form

T

by an orthogonal similarity transformation:

T = Q^{T} A Q .

The orthogonal matrix

Q

is determined as a product of Givens rotation matrices, and may be formed explicitly by the routine if required.

The routine uses a vectorizable form of the reduction, due to Kaufman (1984).

5 Parameters

1: $VECT$ – CHARACTER(1)Input

On entry: indicates whether

Q

is to be returned.

$VECT ='V'$: $Q$ is returned.
$VECT ='U'$: $Q$ is updated (and the array Q must contain a matrix on entry).
$VECT ='N'$: $Q$ is not required.

Constraint:

VECT ='V'

'U'

'N'

2: $UPLO$ – CHARACTER(1)Input

On entry: indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of

A

is stored.

$UPLO ='U'$: The upper triangular part of $A$ is stored.
$UPLO ='L'$: The lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.

Constraint:

UPLO ='U'

'L'

3: $N$ – INTEGERInput

On entry:

n

, the order of the matrix

A

Constraint:

N \geq 0

4: $KD$ – INTEGERInput

On entry: if

UPLO ='U'

, the number of superdiagonals,

k_{d}

, of the matrix

A

UPLO ='L'

, the number of subdiagonals,

k_{d}

, of the matrix

A

Constraint:

KD \geq 0

5: $AB (LDAB *)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output

Note: the second dimension of the array AB must be at least

\max (1, N)

On entry: the upper or lower triangle of the

n

n

symmetric band matrix

A

The matrix is stored in rows

1

k_{d} + 1

, more precisely,

if $UPLO ='U'$ , the elements of the upper triangle of $A$ within the band must be stored with element $A_{i j}$ in $AB (k_{d} + 1 + i - j, j) for \max (1, j - k_{d}) \leq i \leq j$ ;
if $UPLO ='L'$ , the elements of the lower triangle of $A$ within the band must be stored with element $A_{i j}$ in $AB (1 + i - j, j) for j \leq i \leq \min (n, j + k_{d}) .$

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

T

are returned in AB using the same storage format as described above.

6: $LDAB$ – INTEGERInput

On entry: the first dimension of the array AB as declared in the (sub)program from which F08HEF (DSBTRD) is called.

Constraint:

LDAB \geq \max (1, KD + 1)

7: $D (N)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput

On exit: the diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix

T

8: $E (N - 1)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput

On exit: the off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix

T

9: $Q (LDQ *)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output

Note: the second dimension of the array Q must be at least

\max (1, N)

VECT ='V'

'U'

and at least

1

VECT ='N'

On entry: if

VECT ='U'

, Q must contain the matrix formed in a previous stage of the reduction (for example, the reduction of a banded symmetric-definite generalized eigenproblem); otherwise Q need not be set.

On exit: if

VECT ='V'

'U'

, the

n

n

matrix

Q

VECT ='N'

, Q is not referenced.

10: $LDQ$ – INTEGERInput

On entry: the first dimension of the array Q as declared in the (sub)program from which F08HEF (DSBTRD) is called.

Constraints:

if $VECT ='V'$ or $'U'$ , $LDQ \geq \max (1, N)$ ;
if $VECT ='N'$ , $LDQ \geq 1$ .

11: $WORK (N)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace

12: $INFO$ – INTEGEROutput

On exit:

INFO = 0

unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$INFO < 0$: If $INFO = - i$ , argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

7 Accuracy

The computed tridiagonal matrix

T

is exactly similar to a nearby matrix

(A + E)

, where

{‖E‖}_{2} \leq c (n) ε {‖A‖}_{2},

c (n)

is a modestly increasing function of

n

, and

ε

is the machine precision.

The elements of

T

themselves may be sensitive to small perturbations in

A

or to rounding errors in the computation, but this does not affect the stability of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

The computed matrix

Q

differs from an exactly orthogonal matrix by a matrix

E

such that

{‖E‖}_{2} = O (ε),

where

ε

is the machine precision.

8 Parallelism and Performance

F08HEF (DSBTRD) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

F08HEF (DSBTRD) 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.

9 Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately

6 n^{2} k

VECT ='N'

with

3 n^{3} (k - 1) / k

additional operations if

VECT ='V'

The complex analogue of this routine is F08HSF (ZHBTRD).

10 Example

This example computes all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix

A

, where

A = (\begin{array}{r} 4.99 & 0.04 & 0.22 & 0.00 \\ 0.04 & 1.05 & - 0.79 & 1.04 \\ 0.22 & - 0.79 & - 2.31 & - 1.30 \\ 0.00 & 1.04 & - 1.30 & - 0.43 \end{array}) .

Here

A

is symmetric and is treated as a band matrix. The program first calls F08HEF (DSBTRD) to reduce

A

to tridiagonal form

T

, and to form the orthogonal matrix

Q

; the results are then passed to F08JEF (DSTEQR) which computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of

A
