F12ABF
Note: this routine uses optional parameters to define choices in the problem specification. If you wish to use default
settings for all of the optional parameters, then the option setting routine F12ADF need not be called.
If, however, you wish to reset some or all of the settings please refer to Section 11 in F12ADF for a detailed description of the specification of the optional parameters.

3 Description
The suite of routines is designed to calculate some of the eigenvalues, , (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors, ) of a standard eigenvalue problem , or of a generalized eigenvalue problem of order , where is large and the coefficient matrices and are sparse, real and nonsymmetric. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale dense, real and nonsymmetric problems.
F12ABF is a
reverse communication routine, based on the ARPACK routine
dnaupd, 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 routines offers the same functionality as the ARPACK software for real nonsymmetric problems, but the interface design is quite different in order to make the option setting clearer and to simplify the interface of F12ABF.
The setup routine
F12AAF must be called before F12ABF, the reverse communication iterative solver. Options may be set for F12ABF by prior calls to the option setting routine
F12ADF and a post-processing routine
F12ACF must be called following a successful final exit from F12ABF.
F12AEF, may be called following certain flagged, intermediate exits from F12ABF to provide additional monitoring information about the computation.
F12ABF uses
reverse communication, i.e., it returns repeatedly to the calling program with the parameter
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 , where is defined by the computational mode;
- – compute the matrix-vector product ;
- – 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 routine
F12ADF (see
Section 11.1 in F12ADF for details on setting options and of the default settings).

5 Parameters
Note: this routine uses
reverse communication. Its use involves an initial entry, intermediate exits and re-entries, and a final exit, as indicated by the parameter
IREVCM. Between intermediate exits and re-entries,
all parameters other than X, MX and COMM must remain unchanged.
- 1: – INTEGERInput/Output
-
On initial entry: , 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.
- The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product , where is stored in X (by default) or in the array COMM (starting from the location given by the first element of ICOMM) when the option is set in a prior call to F12ADF. The result is returned in X (by default) or in the array COMM (starting from the location given by the second element of ICOMM) when the option is set.
If is not symmetric semi-definite then the precomputed values in MX should not be used (see the explanation under ).
- The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product . This is similar to the case except that the result of the matrix-vector product (as required in some computational modes) has already been computed and is available in MX (by default) or in the array COMM (starting from the location given by the third element of ICOMM) when the option is set.
- The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product , where is stored as described in the case and is returned in the location described by the case .
This computation is requested when solving the Generalized problem using either Shifted Inverse Imaginary or Shifted Inverse Real; in these cases is used as an inner-product space and requires that be symmetric semi-definite. If neither nor is symmetric semi-definite then the problem should be reformulated in a Standard form.
- Compute the NSHIFT real and imaginary parts of the shifts where the real parts are to be returned in the first NSHIFT locations of the array X and the imaginary parts are to be returned in the first NSHIFT locations of the array MX. Only complex conjugate pairs of shifts may be applied and the pairs must be placed in consecutive locations. This value of IREVCM will only arise if the optional parameter Supplied Shifts is set in a prior call to F12ADF which is intended for experienced users only; the default and recommended option is to use exact shifts (see Lehoucq et al. (1998) for details).
- Monitoring step: a call to F12AEF can now be made to return the number of Arnoldi iterations, the number of converged Ritz values, their real and imaginary parts, and the corresponding Ritz estimates.
On final exit:
: F12ABF has completed its tasks. The value of
IFAIL determines whether the iteration has been successfully completed, or whether errors have been detected. On successful completion
F12ACF must be called to return the requested eigenvalues and eigenvectors (and/or Schur vectors).

F12ADF in which case

. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to
Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, because for this routine the values of the output parameters may be useful even if
on exit, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On final exit:
unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see
Section 6).
6 Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry
or
, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by
X04AAF).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
-
On initial entry, the maximum number of iterations
, the option
Iteration Limit has been set to a non-positive value.
-
The options
Generalized and
Regular are incompatible.
-
The option
Initial Residual was selected but the starting vector held in
RESID is zero.
-
The maximum number of iterations has been reached. Some Ritz values may have converged; a subsequent call to
F12ACF will return the number of converged values and the converged values.
-
No shifts could be applied during a cycle of the implicitly restarted Arnoldi iteration. One possibility is to increase the size of
NCV relative to
NEV (see
Section 5 in F12AAF for details of these parameters).
-
Could not build an Arnoldi factorization. Consider changing
NCV or
NEV in the initialization routine (see
Section 5 in F12AAF for details of these parameters).
-
Unexpected error in internal call to compute eigenvalues and corresponding error bounds of the current upper Hessenberg matrix. Please contact
NAG.
-
Either the initialization routine
F12AAF has not been called prior to the first call of this routine or a communication array has become corrupted.
-
An unexpected error has occurred. Please contact
