f08jdf computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real symmetric tridiagonal matrix . Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.
The routine may be called by the names f08jdf, nagf_lapackeig_dstevr or its LAPACK name dstevr.
3Description
Whenever possible f08jdf computes the eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations. f08jdf computes eigenvalues by the dqds algorithm, while orthogonal eigenvectors are computed from various ‘good’ representations (also known as Relatively Robust Representations). Gram–Schmidt orthogonalization is avoided as far as possible. More specifically, the various steps of the algorithm are as follows. For the th unreduced block of :
(a)compute
, such that
is a relatively robust representation,
(b)compute the eigenvalues, , of
to high relative accuracy by the dqds algorithm,
(c)if there is a cluster of close eigenvalues, ‘choose’ close to the cluster, and go to (a),
(d)given the approximate eigenvalue of
, compute the corresponding eigenvector by forming a rank-revealing twisted factorization.

If high relative accuracy is important, set abstol to , although doing so does not currently guarantee that eigenvalues are computed to high relative accuracy. See Barlow and Demmel (1990) for a discussion of which matrices can define their eigenvalues to high relative accuracy.

8Parallelism and Performance
f08jdf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08jdf 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.
9Further Comments
The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to if and is proportional to if and , otherwise the number of floating-point operations will depend upon the number of computed eigenvectors.
