1 Purpose

F08JXF (ZSTEIN) computes the eigenvectors of a real symmetric tridiagonal matrix corresponding to specified eigenvalues, by inverse iteration, storing the eigenvectors in a complex array.

2 Specification

SUBROUTINE F08JXF (

N, D, E, M, W, IBLOCK, ISPLIT, Z, LDZ, WORK, IWORK, IFAILV, INFO)

INTEGER	N, M, IBLOCK(), ISPLIT(), LDZ, IWORK(N), IFAILV(M), INFO
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)	D(), E(), W(), WORK(5N)
COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)	Z(LDZ,*)

The routine may be called by its LAPACK name zstein.

3 Description

F08JXF (ZSTEIN) computes the eigenvectors of a real symmetric tridiagonal matrix

T

corresponding to specified eigenvalues, by inverse iteration (see Jessup and Ipsen (1992)). It is designed to be used in particular after the specified eigenvalues have been computed by F08JJF (DSTEBZ) with

ORDER ='B'

, but may also be used when the eigenvalues have been computed by other routines in Chapters F02 or F08.

The eigenvectors of

T

are real, but are stored by this routine in a complex array. If

T

has been formed by reduction of a full complex Hermitian matrix

A

to tridiagonal form, then eigenvectors of

T

may be transformed to (complex) eigenvectors of

A

by a call to F08FUF (ZUNMTR) or F08GUF (ZUPMTR).

F08JJF (DSTEBZ) determines whether the matrix

T

splits into block diagonal form:

T = (\begin{array}{r} T_{1} \\ T_{2} \\ . \\ . \\ . \\ T_{p} \end{array})

and passes details of the block structure to this routine in the arrays IBLOCK and ISPLIT. This routine can then take advantage of the block structure by performing inverse iteration on each block

T_{i}

separately, which is more efficient than using the whole matrix.

5 Parameters

1: $N$ – INTEGERInput: On entry: $n$ , the order of the matrix $T$ .

Constraint: $N \geq 0$ .
2: $D (*)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput: Note: the dimension of the array D must be at least $\max (1, N)$ .

On entry: the diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix $T$ .
3: $E (*)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput: Note: the dimension of the array E must be at least $\max (1, N - 1)$ .

On entry: the off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix $T$ .
4: $M$ – INTEGERInput: On entry: $m$ , the number of eigenvectors to be returned.

Constraint: $0 \leq M \leq N$ .
5: $W (*)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput: Note: the dimension of the array W must be at least $\max (1, N)$ .

On entry: the eigenvalues of the tridiagonal matrix $T$ stored in $W (1)$ to $W (m)$ , as returned by F08JJF (DSTEBZ) with $ORDER ='B'$ . Eigenvalues associated with the first sub-matrix must be supplied first, in nondecreasing order; then those associated with the second sub-matrix, again in nondecreasing order; and so on.

Constraint: if $IBLOCK (i) = IBLOCK (i + 1)$ , $W (i) \leq W (i + 1)$ , for $i = 1, 2, \dots, M - 1$ .
6: $IBLOCK (*)$ – INTEGER arrayInput: Note: the dimension of the array IBLOCK must be at least $\max (1, N)$ .

On entry: the first $m$ elements must contain the sub-matrix indices associated with the specified eigenvalues, as returned by F08JJF (DSTEBZ) with $ORDER ='B'$ . If the eigenvalues were not computed by F08JJF (DSTEBZ) with $ORDER ='B'$ , set $IBLOCK (i)$ to $1$ , for $i = 1, 2, \dots, m$ .

Constraint: $IBLOCK (i) \leq IBLOCK (i + 1)$ , for $i = 1, 2, \dots, M - 1$ .
7: $ISPLIT (*)$ – INTEGER arrayInput: Note: the dimension of the array ISPLIT must be at least $\max (1, N)$ .

On entry: the points at which $T$ breaks up into sub-matrices, as returned by F08JJF (DSTEBZ) with $ORDER ='B'$ . If the eigenvalues were not computed by F08JJF (DSTEBZ) with $ORDER ='B'$ , set $ISPLIT (1)$ to N.
8: $Z (LDZ *)$ – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput: Note: the second dimension of the array Z must be at least $\max (1, M)$ .

On exit: the $m$ eigenvectors, stored as columns of $Z$ ; the $i$ th column corresponds to the $i$ th specified eigenvalue, unless $INFO > 0$ (in which case see Section 6).
9: $LDZ$ – INTEGERInput: On entry: the first dimension of the array Z as declared in the (sub)program from which F08JXF (ZSTEIN) is called.

Constraint: $LDZ \geq \max (1, N)$ .
10: $WORK (5 \times N)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
11: $IWORK (N)$ – INTEGER arrayWorkspace
12: $IFAILV (M)$ – INTEGER arrayOutput: On exit: if $INFO = i > 0$ , the first $i$ elements of IFAILV contain the indices of any eigenvectors which have failed to converge. The rest of the first M elements of IFAILV are set to $0$ .
13: $INFO$ – 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.

$INFO > 0$: If $INFO = i$ , then $i$ eigenvectors (as indicated by the parameter IFAILV above) each failed to converge in five iterations. The current iterate after five iterations is stored in the corresponding column of Z.

7 Accuracy

Each computed eigenvector

z_{i}

is the exact eigenvector of a nearby matrix

A + E_{i}

, such that

‖E_{i}‖ = O (ε) ‖A‖,

where

ε

is the machine precision. Hence the residual is small:

‖A z_{i} - λ_{i} z_{i}‖ = O (ε) ‖A‖ .

However, a set of eigenvectors computed by this routine may not be orthogonal to so high a degree of accuracy as those computed by F08JSF (ZSTEQR).

8 Parallelism and Performance

F08JXF (ZSTEIN) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

F08JXF (ZSTEIN) 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.
