Arguments
-
1:
– Integer
Input
-
On entry: , the order of the matrix .
Constraint:
.
-
2:
– Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array
Input/Output
-
Note: the second dimension of the array
a
must be at least
.
On entry: the by matrix .
On exit: with , the by matrix exponential .
-
3:
– Integer
Input
-
On entry: the first dimension of the array
a as declared in the (sub)program from which
f01fcf is called.
Constraint:
.
-
4:
– 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 linear equations to be solved for the Padé approximant are singular; it is likely that this routine has been called incorrectly.
-
The linear equations to be solved are nearly singular and the Padé approximant probably has no correct figures; it is likely that this routine has been called incorrectly.
-
has been computed using an IEEE double precision Padé approximant, although the arithmetic precision is higher than IEEE double precision.
-
An unexpected internal error has occurred. Please contact
NAG.

Accuracy
For a normal matrix
(for which
) the computed matrix,
, is guaranteed to be close to the exact matrix, that is, the method is forward stable. No such guarantee can be given for non-normal matrices. See
Al–Mohy and Higham (2009) and Section 10.3 of
Higham (2008) for details and further discussion.
If estimates of the condition number of the matrix exponential are required then
f01kgf should be used.

Parallelism and Performance
f01fcf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f01fcf 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 complex allocatable memory required is approximately
.
The cost of the algorithm is
; see Section 5 of
Al–Mohy and Higham (2009). The complex allocatable memory required is approximately
.
If the Fréchet derivative of the matrix exponential is required then
f01khf should be used.
As well as the excellent book cited above, the classic reference for the computation of the matrix exponential is
Moler and Van Loan (2003).
