f12anc (complex_init)
1
Purpose
f12anc is a setup function 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.
The suite of functions is suitable for the solution of large sparse, standard or generalized, nonsymmetric complex eigenproblems where only a few eigenvalues from a selected range of the spectrum are required.

Specification
The function may be called by the names: f12anc, nag_sparseig_complex_init or nag_complex_sparse_eigensystem_init.

Description
The suite of functions is designed to calculate some of the eigenvalues, , (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors, ) of a standard complex eigenvalue problem , or of a generalized complex eigenvalue problem of order , where is large and the coefficient matrices and are sparse, complex and nonsymmetric. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale dense, complex and nonsymmetric problems.
f12anc is a setup function which must be called before
f12apc, the reverse communication iterative solver, and before
f12arc, the options setting function.
f12aqc is a post-processing function that must be called following a successful final exit from
f12apc, while
f12asc can be used to return additional monitoring information during the computation.
This setup function initializes the communication arrays, sets (to their default values) all options that can be set by you via the option setting function
f12arc, and checks that the lengths of the communication arrays as passed by you are of sufficient length. For details of the options available and how to set them see
Section 11.1 in
f12arc.

At present there is no
a priori analysis to guide the selection of
ncv relative to
nev. However, it is recommended that
. 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.
