5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{n}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the order of the matrix $A$ (and the order of the matrix $B$ for the generalized problem) that defines the eigenvalue problem.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}>0$.

2: $\mathbf{nev}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the number of eigenvalues to be computed.

Constraint: $0<\mathbf{nev}<\mathbf{n}-1$.

3: $\mathbf{ncv}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the number of Lanczos basis vectors to use during the computation.

At present there is no a priori analysis to guide the selection of ncv relative to nev. However, it is recommended that $\mathbf{ncv}\ge 2\times \mathbf{nev}+1$. If many problems of the same type are to be solved, you should experiment with increasing ncv while keeping nev fixed for a given test problem. This will usually decrease the required number of matrix-vector operations but it also increases the work and storage required to maintain the orthogonal basis vectors. The optimal ‘cross-over’ with respect to CPU time is problem dependent and must be determined empirically.

Constraint: $\mathbf{nev}+1<\mathbf{ncv}\le \mathbf{n}$.

4: $\mathbf{icomm}\left[\max \left(1,\mathbf{licomm}\right)\right]$ – Integer Communication Array

On exit: contains data to be communicated to f12agc.

5: $\mathbf{licomm}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array icomm.

If $\mathbf{licomm}=-1$, a workspace query is assumed and the function only calculates the required dimensions of icomm and comm, which it returns in $\mathbf{icomm}\left[0\right]$ and $\mathbf{comm}\left[0\right]$ respectively.

Constraint: $\mathbf{licomm}\ge 140\text{ or }\mathbf{licomm}=-1$.

6: $\mathbf{comm}\left[\max \left(1,\mathbf{lcomm}\right)\right]$ – double Communication Array

On exit: contains data to be communicated to f12agc.

7: $\mathbf{lcomm}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array comm.

If $\mathbf{lcomm}=-1$, a workspace query is assumed and the function only calculates the dimensions of icomm and comm required by f12agc, which it returns in $\mathbf{icomm}\left[0\right]$ and $\mathbf{comm}\left[0\right]$ respectively.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lcomm}\ge 60\text{ or }\mathbf{lcomm}=-1$.

8: $\mathbf{fail}$ – 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 $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ had an illegal value.

NE_INT

On entry, $\mathbf{n}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{n}>0$.

On entry, $\mathbf{nev}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{nev}>0$.

NE_INT_2

The length of the integer array comm is too small $\mathbf{lcomm}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, but must be at least $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.

The length of the integer array icomm is too small $\mathbf{licomm}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, but must be at least $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.

NE_INT_3

On entry, $\mathbf{ncv}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$, $\mathbf{nev}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and $\mathbf{n}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{ncv}>\mathbf{nev}+1$ and $\mathbf{ncv}\le \mathbf{n}$.

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.
