f12jkf is an iterative solver used to find some of the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors of a standard or generalized eigenvalue problem defined by real nonsymmetric matrices. This is part of a suite of routines that also includes f12jaf,f12jbf,f12jffandf12jgf.
The routine may be called by the names f12jkf or nagf_sparseig_feast_real_gen_solve.
3Description
The suite of routines is designed to calculate some of the eigenvalues, , and the corresponding eigenvectors, , of a standard eigenvalue problem , or of a generalized eigenvalue problem , where the coefficient matrices and are sparse, real and nonsymmetric. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale, dense problems.
f12jkf is a reverse communication routine, based on the FEAST eigensolver, described in Polizzi (2009), which finds eigenvalues using contour integration. Prior to calling f12jkf, one of the contour definition routines f12jfforf12jgf must be used to define nodes and weights for a contour around a region in the complex plane within which eigenvalues will be sought.
The setup routine f12jaf and the contour definition routine f12jfforf12jgf must be called before f12jkf. Between the calls to f12jaf and f12jfforf12jgf, options may be set by calls to the option setting routine f12jbf.
f12jkf 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:
–compute a factorization of the complex matrix , where is a point on the search contour;
–optionally, compute a factorization of the matrix (this need only be done if the factorization does not allow linear systems involving to be solved);
–solve a linear system involving or , using the factorizations above;
–compute the matrix product ;
–compute the matrix product ;
–compute the matrix product ;
–compute the matrix product ;
–notify the completion of the computation.
The number of contour points, the number of iterations, and other options can all be set using the option setting routine f12jbf (see Section 11.1 in f12jbf for details on setting options and of the default settings). The search contour itself is defined by a call to f12jfforf12jgf.

5Arguments
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 argument irevcm. Between intermediate exits and re-entries, all arguments other thanx and z must remain unchanged.

On final exit: : f12jkf has completed its tasks. The value of ifail determines whether the iteration has been successfully completed, or whether errors have been detected.

Note: any values you return to f12jkf 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 f12jkf. If your code does inadvertently return any NaNs or infinities, f12jkf is likely to produce unexpected results.

6Error 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:
Either one of the contour setting routines f12jfforf12jgf has not been called prior to the first call of this routine or the supplied handle has become corrupted.
No eigenvalues were found within the search contour.
The routine did not converge after the maximum number of iterations. The results returned may still be useful, however they might be improved by increasing the maximum number of iterations using the option setting routine f12jbf, increasing the size of the eigenvector search subspace, m0, or experimenting with the choice of contour. Note that the returned eigenvalues and eigenvectors, together with the returned value of m0, can be used as the initial estimates for a new iteration of the solver.
The size of the eigenvector search subspace, m0, is too small.
The optional parameter was set using f12jbf. Columns of z contain the search subspace after one contour integral and d contains an estimate of the eigenvalues.
The optional parameter was set using f12jbf so only a stochastic estimate of the number of eigenvalues within the contour has been returned.
An internal error occurred in the reduced eigenvalue solver. Please contact NAG.

7Accuracy
A gauge on the accuracy of the computation can be obtained by looking at eps, the relative error on the trace, and the residuals, stored in resid.
Note: the factorizations and linear system solves required when , , or can be performed in single precision, without any loss of accuracy in the final eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
8Parallelism and Performance
f12jkf is not threaded in any implementation.
9Further Comments
Ideally, when using f12jkf you should have an idea of the distribution of the eigenvalue spectrum to allow good choices of the search interval and m0 to be made. For best performance, m0 should exceed the number of eigenvalues in the search interval by a factor of approximately .
A stochastic estimate of the number of eigenvalues within the search contour can be obtained by setting in the option setting routine f12jbf. In this case, f12jkf can be called with a small value of m0 (for example ). On final output nconv will contain an estimate of the number of eigenvalues, which can then be used to guide the choice of m0.
The real allocatable memory required by f12jkf is approximately . Additionally, of complex allocatable memory is required.
f12jtf can be used to solve complex eigenvalue problems.
