f12apc (complex_​iter)

Note: this function 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 function f12arc need not be called. If, however, you wish to reset some or all of the settings please refer to Section 11 in f12arc for a detailed description of the specification of the optional parameters.

1 Purpose

f12apc is an iterative solver in a suite of functions consisting of f12anc, f12apc, f12aqc, f12arc and f12asc. It is used to find some of the eigenvalues (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors) of a standard or generalized eigenvalue problem defined by complex nonsymmetric matrices.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f12apc (Integer *irevcm, Complex resid[], Complex v[], Complex **x, Complex **y, Complex **mx, Integer *nshift, Complex comm[], Integer icomm[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f12apc, nag_sparseig_complex_iter or nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_iter.

3 Description

The suite of functions is designed to calculate some of the eigenvalues, λ , (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors, x ) of a standard eigenvalue problem Ax = λx , or of a generalized eigenvalue problem Ax = λBx of order n , where n is large and the coefficient matrices A and B are sparse, complex and nonsymmetric. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale dense, complex and nonsymmetric problems.
f12apc is a reverse communication function, based on the ARPACK routine znaupd, 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 functions offers the same functionality as the ARPACK software for complex nonsymmetric problems, but the interface design is quite different in order to make the option setting clearer and to simplify the interface of f12apc.
The setup function f12anc must be called before f12apc, the reverse communication iterative solver. Options may be set for f12apc by prior calls to the option setting function f12arc and a post-processing function f12aqc must be called following a successful final exit from f12apc. f12asc may be called following certain flagged, intermediate exits from f12apc to provide additional monitoring information about the computation.
f12apc uses reverse communication, i.e., it returns repeatedly to the calling program with the argument irevcm (see Section 5) set to specified values which require the calling program to carry out one of the following tasks:
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 function f12arc (see Section 11.1 in f12arc for details on setting options and of the default settings).

5 Arguments

Note: this function uses reverse communication. Its use involves an initial entry, intermediate exits and re-entries, and a final exit, as indicated by the argument irevcm. Between intermediate exits and re-entries, all arguments other than x and y must remain unchanged.
1: irevcm Integer * Input/Output
On initial entry: irevcm=0, 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.
irevcm=-1
The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product y=op(x), where x is stored in x and the result y is placed in y.
irevcm=1
The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product y=op(x). This is similar to the case irevcm=-1 except that the result of the matrix-vector product Bx (as required in some computational modes) has already been computed and is available in mx.
irevcm=2
The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product y=Bx, where x is stored in x and y is placed in y.
irevcm=3
Compute the nshift complex shifts to be placed in the first nshift locations of the array y. This value of irevcm will only arise if the optional parameter Supplied Shifts is set in a prior call to f12arc which is intended for experienced users only; the default and recommended option is to use exact shifts (see Lehoucq et al. (1998) for details).
irevcm=4
Monitoring step: a call to f12asc can now be made to return the number of Arnoldi iterations, the number of converged Ritz values, the array of converged values, and the corresponding Ritz estimates.
On final exit: irevcm=5: f12apc has completed its tasks. The value of fail.code determines whether the iteration has been successfully completed, or whether errors have been detected. On successful completion f12aqc must be called to return the requested eigenvalues and eigenvectors (and/or Schur vectors).
Constraint: on initial entry, irevcm=0; on re-entry irevcm must remain unchanged.
Note: any values you return to f12apc as part of the reverse communication procedure should not include floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by f12apc. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, f12apc is likely to produce unexpected results.
2: resid[dim] Complex Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array resid must be at least n (see f12anc).
On initial entry: need not be set unless the option Initial Residual has been set in a prior call to f12arc in which case resid should contain an initial residual vector, possibly from a previous run.
On intermediate re-entry: must be unchanged from its previous exit. Changing resid to any other value between calls may result in an error exit.
On intermediate exit: contains the current residual vector.
On final exit: contains the final residual vector.
3: v[n×ncv] Complex Input/Output
The ith element of the jth basis vector is stored in location v[n×(i-1)+j-1], for i=1,2,,n and j=1,2,,ncv.
On initial entry: need not be set.
On intermediate re-entry: must be unchanged from its previous exit.
On intermediate exit: contains the current set of Arnoldi basis vectors.
On final exit: contains the final set of Arnoldi basis vectors.
4: x Complex ** Input/Output
On initial entry: need not be set, it is used as a convenient mechanism for accessing elements of comm.
On intermediate re-entry: is not normally changed.
On intermediate exit: contains the vector x when irevcm returns the value -1, +1 or 2.
On final exit: does not contain useful data.
5: y Complex ** Input/Output
On initial entry: need not be set, it is used as a convenient mechanism for accessing elements of comm.
On intermediate re-entry: must contain the result of y=op(x) when irevcm returns the value -1 or +1. It must contain the computed shifts when irevcm returns the value 3.
On intermediate exit: does not contain useful data.
On final exit: does not contain useful data.
6: mx Complex ** Input/Output
On initial entry: need not be set, it is used as a convenient mechanism for accessing elements of comm.
On intermediate re-entry: must contain the result of y=Bx when irevcm returns the value 2.
On intermediate exit: contains the vector Bx when irevcm returns the value +1.
On final exit: does not contain any useful data.
7: nshift Integer * Output
On intermediate exit: if the option Supplied Shifts is set and irevcm returns a value of 3, nshift returns the number of complex shifts required.
8: comm[dim] Complex Communication Array
Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array comm supplied to the initialization routine f12anc.
On initial entry: must remain unchanged following a call to the setup function f12anc.
On exit: contains data defining the current state of the iterative process.
9: icomm[dim] Integer Communication Array
Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array icomm supplied to the initialization routine f12anc.
On initial entry: must remain unchanged following a call to the setup function f12anc.
On exit: contains data defining the current state of the iterative process.
10: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
NE_INITIALIZATION
Either the initialization function has not been called prior to the first call of this function or a communication array has become corrupted.
NE_INT
The maximum number of iterations 0, the option Iteration Limit has been set to value.
NE_INTERNAL_EIGVAL_FAIL
Error in internal call to compute eigenvalues and corresponding error bounds of the current upper Hessenberg matrix. Please contact NAG.
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_MAX_ITER
The maximum number of iterations has been reached. The maximum number of iterations=value. The number of converged eigenvalues =value. The post-processing function f12aqc may be called to recover the converged eigenvalues at this point. Alternatively, the maximum number of iterations may be increased by a call to the option setting function f12arc and the reverse communication loop restarted. A large number of iterations may indicate a poor choice for the values of nev and ncv; it is advisable to experiment with these values to reduce the number of iterations (see f12anc).
NE_NO_ARNOLDI_FAC
Could not build an Arnoldi factorization. The size of the current Arnoldi factorization = value.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_NO_SHIFTS_APPLIED
No shifts could be applied during a cycle of the implicitly restarted Arnoldi iteration.
NE_OPT_INCOMPAT
The options Generalized and Regular are incompatible.
NE_ZERO_INIT_RESID
The option Initial Residual was selected but the starting vector held in resid is zero.
