The routine may be called by the names f08snf, nagf_lapackeig_zhegv or its LAPACK name zhegv.

3 Description

f08snf first performs a Cholesky factorization of the matrix

B

B = U^{H} U

, when

uplo ='U'

B = L L^{H}

, when

uplo ='L'

. The generalized problem is then reduced to a standard symmetric eigenvalue problem

C x = λ x,

which is solved for the eigenvalues and, optionally, the eigenvectors; the eigenvectors are then backtransformed to give the eigenvectors of the original problem.

For the problem

A z = λ B z

, the eigenvectors are normalized so that the matrix of eigenvectors,

z

, satisfies

Z^{H} A Z = Λ and Z^{H} B Z = I,

where

Λ

is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues. For the problem

A B z = λ z

we correspondingly have

Z^{- 1} A Z^{- H} = Λ and Z^{H} B Z = I,

and for

B A z = λ z

we have

Z^{H} A Z = Λ and Z^{H} B^{- 1} Z = I .

Constraint:

5: $a (lda, *)$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

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

\max (1, n)

On entry: the

n \times n

Hermitian matrix

A

If $uplo ='U'$ , the upper triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
If $uplo ='L'$ , the lower triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.

On exit: if

, a contains the matrix

Z

of eigenvectors. The eigenvectors are normalized as follows:

if $itype = 1$ or $2$ , $Z^{H} B Z = I$ ;
if $itype = 3$ , $Z^{H} B^{- 1} Z = I$ .

jobz ='N'

, the upper triangle (if

uplo ='U'

uplo ='L'

) of a, including the diagonal, is overwritten.

6: $lda$ – Integer Input

On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f08snf is called.

Constraint:

lda \geq \max (1, n)

7: $b (ldb, *)$ – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

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

\max (1, n)

On entry: the

n \times n

8: $ldb$ – Integer Input

On exit: if

, the real part of

work (1)

11: $lwork$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08snf is called.

lwork = - 1

, 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,

lwork \geq (nb + 1) \times n

, where

nb

is the optimal block size for f08fsf.

Constraint:

lwork \geq \max (1, 2 \times n - 1)

13: $info$ – Integer Output

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.

$info = 1, \dots, n$: The algorithm failed to converge; $⟨ value ⟩$ off-diagonal elements of an intermediate tridiagonal form did not converge to zero.

$info > n$: If $info = n + ⟨ value ⟩$ , for $1 \leq ⟨ value ⟩ \leq n$ , then the leading minor of order $⟨ value ⟩$ of $B$ is not positive definite. The factorization of $B$ could not be completed and no eigenvalues or eigenvectors were computed.

7 Accuracy

B

is ill-conditioned with respect to inversion, then the error bounds for the computed eigenvalues and vectors may be large, although when the diagonal elements of

B

differ widely in magnitude the eigenvalues and eigenvectors may be less sensitive than the condition of

B

would suggest. See Section 4.10 of Anderson et al. (1999) for details of the error bounds.

The example program below illustrates the computation of approximate error bounds.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f08snf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f08snf 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 proportional to

n^{3}

The real analogue of this routine is f08saf.
