Description
is computed using a spectral factorization of
where
is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements,
, are the eigenvalues of
, and
is an orthogonal matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors of
.
is then given by
where
is the diagonal matrix whose
th diagonal element is
. See for example Section 4.5 of

4:
– Integer
Input
-
On entry: the first dimension of the array
a as declared in the (sub)program from which
f01edf is called.
Constraint:
.
-
5:
– Integer
Input/Output
-
On entry:
ifail must be set to
,
. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to
Section 4 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit:
unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see
Section 6).

Error 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:
-
The computation of the spectral factorization failed to converge.
The value of
ifail gives the number of off-diagonal elements of an intermediate tridiagonal form that did not converge to zero (see
f08faf).
-
On entry, .
Constraint: or .
-
On entry, .
Constraint: .
-
An internal error occurred when computing the spectral factorization. Please contact
NAG.
-
On entry, and .
Constraint: .
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please

Accuracy
For a symmetric matrix
, the matrix
, has the relative condition number
which is the minimum possible for the matrix exponential and so the computed matrix exponential is guaranteed to be close to the exact matrix. See Section 10.2 of
Higham (2008) for details and further discussion.

Parallelism and Performance
f01edf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f01edf 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.
The integer allocatable memory required is
n, and the real allocatable memory required is approximately
, where
nb is the block size required by
f08faf.
The cost of the algorithm is .
As well as the excellent book cited above, the classic reference for the computation of the matrix exponential is
Moler and Van Loan (2003).
