Note: this routine uses optional parameters to define choices in the problem specification. If you wish to use default
settings for all of the optional parameters, you need only read Sections 1 to 10 of this document. If, however, you wish to reset some or all of the settings this must be done by calling the option setting routine f12adf from the user-supplied subroutine option. Please refer to Section 11 for a detailed description of the specification of the optional parameters.

Description
f02ekf computes selected eigenvalues and the corresponding right eigenvectors of a real sparse general matrix
:
A specified number, , of eigenvalues , or the shifted inverses , may be selected either by largest or smallest modulus, largest or smallest real part, or, largest or smallest imaginary part. Convergence is generally faster when selecting larger eigenvalues, smaller eigenvalues can always be selected by choosing a zero inverse shift (). When eigenvalues closest to a given real value are required then the shifted inverses of largest magnitude should be selected with shift equal to the required real value.
Note that even though is real, and may be complex. If is an eigenvector corresponding to a complex eigenvalue , then the complex conjugate vector is the eigenvector corresponding to the complex conjugate eigenvalue . The eigenvalues in a complex conjugate pair and are either both selected or both not selected.
The sparse matrix
is stored in compressed column storage (CCS) format. See
Section 2.1.3 in the
F11 Chapter Introduction.
f02ekf uses an implicitly restarted Arnoldi iterative method to converge approximations to a set of required eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors. Further algorithmic information is given in
Section 9 while a fuller discussion is provided in the
F12 Chapter Introduction. If shifts are to be performed then operations using shifted inverse matrices are performed using a direct sparse solver; further information on the solver used is provided in the
F11 Chapter Introduction.

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.

monit is called with the arguments
iuser and
ruser as supplied to
f02ekf. You should use the arrays
iuser and
ruser to supply information to
monit.
monit must either be a module subprogram USEd by, or declared as EXTERNAL in, the (sub)program from which
f02ekf is called. Arguments denoted as
Input must
not be changed by this procedure.
Note: monit should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by
f02ekf. If your code inadvertently
does return any NaNs or infinities,
f02ekf is likely to produce unexpected results.

10:
– Subroutine, supplied by the NAG Library or the user.
External Procedure
-
You can supply non-default options to the Arnoldi eigensolver by repeated calls to
f12adf from within
option. (Please note that it is only necessary to call
f12adf; no call to
f12aaf is required from within
option.) For example, you can set the mode to
Shifted Inverse Real, you can increase the
Iteration Limit beyond its default and you can print varying levels of detail on the iterative process using
Print Level.
If only the default options (including that the eigenvalues of largest magnitude are sought) are to be used then
option may be the dummy subroutine
f02eky (
f02eky is included in the NAG Library). See
Section 10 for an example of using
option to set some non-default options.

Parallelism and Performance
f02ekf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f02ekf 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.
f02ekf calls routines based on the ARPACK suite in
Chapter F12. These routines use an implicitly restarted Arnoldi iterative method to converge to approximations to a set of required eigenvalues (see the
F12 Chapter Introduction).
In the default
Regular mode, only matrix-vector multiplications are performed using the sparse matrix
during the Arnoldi process. Each iteration is therefore cheap computationally, relative to the alternative,
Shifted Inverse Real, mode described below. It is most efficient (i.e., the total number of iterations required is small) when the eigenvalues of largest magnitude are sought and these are distinct.
Although there is an option for returning the smallest eigenvalues using this mode (see
Smallest Magnitude option), the number of iterations required for convergence will be far greater or the method may not converge at all. However, where convergence is achieved,
Regular mode may still prove to be the most efficient since no inversions are required. Where smallest eigenvalues are sought and
Regular mode is not suitable, or eigenvalues close to a given real value are sought, the
Shifted Inverse Real mode should be used.
If the
Shifted Inverse Real mode is used (via a call to
f12adf in
option) then the matrix
is used in linear system solves by the Arnoldi process. This is first factorized internally using the direct
factorization routine
f11mef. The condition number of
is then calculated by a call to
f11mgf. If the condition number is too big then the matrix is considered to be nearly singular, i.e.,
is an approximate eigenvalue of
, and the routine exits with an error. In this situation it is normally sufficient to perturb
by a small amount and call
f02ekf again. After successful factorization, subsequent solves are performed by calls to
f11mff.
Finally, f02ekf transforms the eigenvectors. Each eigenvector (real or complex) is normalized so that , and the element of largest absolute value is real.
The monitoring routine
monit provides some basic information on the convergence of the Arnoldi iterations. Much greater levels of detail on the Arnoldi process are available via option
Print Level. If this is set to a positive value then information will be printed, by default, to standard output. The
Monitoring option may be used to select a monitoring
file by setting the option to a file identification (unit) number associated with
Monitoring (see
x04acf).

Optional Parameters
Internally
f02ekf calls routines from the suite
f12aaf,
f12abf,
f12acf,
f12adf and
f12aef. Several optional parameters for these computational routines define choices in the problem specification or the algorithm logic. In order to reduce the number of formal arguments of
f02ekf these optional parameters are also used here and have associated
default values that are usually appropriate. Therefore, you need only specify those optional parameters whose values are to be different from their default values.
Optional parameters may be specified via the user-supplied subroutine
option in the call to
f02ekf.
option must be coded such that one call to
f12adf is necessary to set each optional parameter. All optional parameters you do not specify are set to their default values.
The remainder of this section can be skipped if you wish to use the default values for all optional parameters.
The following is a list of the optional parameters available. A full description of each optional parameter is provided in
Section 11.1.
11.1
Description of the Optional Parameters
For each option, we give a summary line, a description of the optional parameter and details of constraints.
The summary line contains:
- the keywords, where the minimum abbreviation of each keyword is underlined;
- a parameter value,
where the letters , and denote options that take character, integer and real values respectively;
- the default value, where the symbol is a generic notation for machine precision (see x02ajf).
Keywords and character values are case and white space insensitive.
If the optional parameter
List is set then optional parameter specifications are listed in a
List file by setting the option to a file identification (unit) number associated with advisory messages (see
x04abf and
x04acf).
This special keyword may be used to reset all optional parameters to their default values.
Iteration Limit | |
Default
|
The limit on the number of Arnoldi iterations that can be performed before f02ekf exits with
.
Largest Magnitude | | Default |
The Arnoldi iterative method converges on a number of eigenvalues with given properties. The default is to compute the eigenvalues of largest magnitude using
Largest Magnitude. Alternatively, eigenvalues may be chosen which have
Largest Real part,
Largest Imaginary part,
Smallest Magnitude,
Smallest Real part or
Smallest Imaginary part.
Note that these options select the eigenvalue properties for eigenvalues of the linear operator determined by the computational mode and problem type.
Optional parameter
List enables printing of each optional parameter specification as it is supplied.
Nolist suppresses this printing.
If
, monitoring information is output to unit number
during the solution of each problem; this may be the same as the
Advisory unit number. The type of information produced is dependent on the value of
Print Level, see the description of the optional parameter
Print Level for details of the information produced. Please see
x04acf to associate a file with a given unit number.
This controls the amount of printing produced by
f02ekf as follows.
| No output except error messages. |
| The set of selected options. |
| Problem and timing statistics when all calls to f12abf have been completed. |
| A single line of summary output at each Arnoldi iteration. |
|
If , then at each iteration, the length and additional steps of the current Arnoldi factorization and the number of converged Ritz values; during re-orthogonalization, the norm of initial/restarted starting vector. |
| Problem and timing statistics on final exit from f12abf. If , then at each iteration, the number of shifts being applied, the eigenvalues and estimates of the Hessenberg matrix , the size of the Arnoldi basis, the wanted Ritz values and associated Ritz estimates and the shifts applied; vector norms prior to and following re-orthogonalization. |
| If , then on final iteration, the norm of the residual; when computing the Schur form, the eigenvalues and Ritz estimates both before and after sorting; for each iteration, the norm of residual for compressed factorization and the compressed upper Hessenberg matrix ; during re-orthogonalization, the initial/restarted starting vector; during the Arnoldi iteration loop, a restart is flagged and the number of the residual requiring iterative refinement; while applying shifts, the indices of the shifts being applied. |
| If , then during the Arnoldi iteration loop, the Arnoldi vector number and norm of the current residual; while applying shifts, key measures of progress and the order of ; while computing eigenvalues of , the last rows of the Schur and eigenvector matrices; when computing implicit shifts, the eigenvalues and Ritz estimates of . |
| If , then during Arnoldi iteration loop: norms of key components and the active column of , norms of residuals during iterative refinement, the final upper Hessenberg matrix ; while applying shifts: number of shifts, shift values, block indices, updated matrix ; while computing eigenvalues of : the matrix , the computed eigenvalues and Ritz estimates. |
These options define the computational mode which in turn defines the form of operation to be performed.
Given a standard eigenvalue problem in the form
then the following modes are available with the appropriate operator
.
An approximate eigenvalue has deemed to have converged when the corresponding Ritz estimate is within
Tolerance relative to the magnitude of the eigenvalue.
