3 Description

A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices

(A, B)

is a scalar

λ

or a ratio

α / β = λ

, such that

A - λ B

is singular. It is usually represented as the pair

(α, β)

, as there is a reasonable interpretation for

β = 0

, and even for both being zero.

The right eigenvector

v_{j}

corresponding to the eigenvalue

λ_{j}

(A, B)

satisfies

A v_{j} = λ_{j} B v_{j} .

The left eigenvector

u_{j}

corresponding to the eigenvalue

λ_{j}

(A, B)

satisfies

u_{j}^{H} A = λ_{j} u_{j}^{H} B,

where

u_{j}^{H}

is the conjugate-transpose of

u_{j}

All the eigenvalues and, if required, all the eigenvectors of the generalized eigenproblem

A x = λ B x

, where

A

and

B

are real, square matrices, are determined using the

Q Z

algorithm. The

Q Z

algorithm consists of four stages:

1. $A$ is reduced to upper Hessenberg form and at the same time $B$ is reduced to upper triangular form.
2. $A$ is further reduced to quasi-triangular form while the triangular form of $B$ is maintained. This is the real generalized Schur form of the pair $(A, B)$ .
3.The quasi-triangular form of $A$ is reduced to triangular form and the eigenvalues extracted. This routine does not actually produce the eigenvalues $λ_{j}$ , but instead returns $α_{j}$ and $β_{j}$ such that
$λ_{j} = α_{j} / β_{j}, j = 1, 2, \dots, n .$
The division by $β_{j}$ becomes your responsibility, since $β_{j}$ may be zero, indicating an infinite eigenvalue. Pairs of complex eigenvalues occur with $α_{j} / β_{j}$ and $α_{j + 1} / β_{j + 1}$ complex conjugates, even though $α_{j}$ and $α_{j + 1}$ are not conjugate.
4.If the eigenvectors are required they are obtained from the triangular matrices and then transformed back into the original coordinate system.

8: $alphar (n)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit: the element

alphar (j)

contains the real part of

α_{j}

9: $alphai (n)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit: the element

alphai (j)

contains the imaginary part of

α_{j}

10: $beta (n)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit:

(alphar (j) + alphai (j) \times i) / beta (j)

, for

j = 1, 2, \dots, n

, will be the generalized eigenvalues.

alphai (j)

is zero, then the

j

th eigenvalue is real; if positive, then the

j

th and

(j + 1)

st eigenvalues are a complex conjugate pair, with

alphai (j + 1)

negative.

Note: the quotients

alphar (j) / beta (j)

and

alphai (j) / beta (j)

may easily overflow or underflow, and

beta (j)

may even be zero. Thus, you should avoid naively computing the ratio

α_{j} / β_{j}

. However,

\max |α_{j}|

will always be less than and usually comparable with

{‖A‖}_{2}

in magnitude, and

\max |β_{j}|

will always be less than and usually comparable with

{‖B‖}_{2}

11: $vl (ldvl *)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

Note: the second dimension of the array vl must be at least

\max (1, n)

jobvl ='V'

, and at least

1

otherwise.

On exit: if

jobvl ='V'

, the left eigenvectors

u_{j}

are stored one after another in the columns of vl, in the same order as the corresponding eigenvalues.

If the

j

th eigenvalue is real, then

u_{j} = vl (:, j)

, the

j

th column of

vl

If the

j

th and

(j + 1)

th eigenvalues form a complex conjugate pair, then

u_{j} = vl (:, j) + i \times vl (:, j + 1)

and

u (j + 1) = vl (:, j) - i \times vl (:, j + 1)

. Each eigenvector will be scaled so the largest component has

|real part| + |imag. part| = 1

jobvl ='N'

, vl is not referenced.

12: $ldvl$ – Integer Input

On entry: the first dimension of the array vl as declared in the (sub)program from which f08wcf is called.

13: $vr (ldvr *)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

Note: the second dimension of the array vr must be at least

\max (1, n)

jobvr ='V'

, and at least

1

otherwise.

On exit: if

jobvr ='V'

, the right eigenvectors

v_{j}

are stored one after another in the columns of vr, in the same order as the corresponding eigenvalues.

If the

j

th eigenvalue is real, then

v_{j} = vr (:, j)

, the

j

th column of

VR

If the

j

th and

(j + 1)

th eigenvalues form a complex conjugate pair, then

v_{j} = vr (:, j) + i \times vr (:, j + 1)

and

v_{j + 1} = vr (:, j) - i \times vr (:, j + 1)

. Each eigenvector will be scaled so the largest component has

|real part| + |imag. part| = 1

jobvr ='N'

, vr is not referenced.

14: $ldvr$ – Integer Input

On entry: the first dimension of the array vr as declared in the (sub)program from which f08wcf is called.

Constraints:

if $jobvr ='V'$ , $ldvr \geq \max (1, n)$ ;
otherwise $ldvr \geq 1$ .

15: $work (\max (1, lwork))$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace

On exit: if

info = 0

work (1)

contains the minimum value of lwork required for optimal performance.

16: $lwork$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08wcf is called.

lwork = - 1

, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the work array, returns this value as the first entry of the work array, and no error message related to lwork is issued.

Suggested value: for optimal performance, lwork must generally be larger than the minimum; increase workspace by, say,

6 \times nb \times n

, where

nb

is the optimal block size.

Constraint:

lwork \geq \max (1, 8 \times n)

17: $info$ – Integer Output

On exit:

info = 0

unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$info < 0$: If $info = - i$ , argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

$info = 1, \dots, n$: The $Q Z$ iteration failed. No eigenvectors have been calculated but $alphar (j)$ , $alphai (j)$ and $beta (j)$ should be correct from element $〈value〉$ .

$info = n + 1$: The $Q Z$ iteration failed with an unexpected error, please contact NAG.

$info = n + 2$: A failure occurred in f08ykf while computing generalized eigenvectors.

7 Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for nearby matrices

(A + E)

and

(B + F)

, where

{‖(E, F)‖}_{F} = O (ε) {‖(A, B)‖}_{F},

and

ε

is the machine precision. See Section 4.11 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

Note: interpretation of results obtained with the

Q Z

algorithm often requires a clear understanding of the effects of small changes in the original data. These effects are reviewed in Wilkinson (1979), in relation to the significance of small values of

α_{j}

and

β_{j}

. It should be noted that if

α_{j}

and

β_{j}

are both small for any

j

, it may be that no reliance can be placed on any of the computed eigenvalues

λ_{i} = α_{i} / β_{i}

. You are recommended to study Wilkinson (1979) and, if in difficulty, to seek expert advice on determining the sensitivity of the eigenvalues to perturbations in the data.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f08wcf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f08wcf 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.

9 Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to

n^{3}

The complex analogue of this routine is f08wqf.
