f08wqf computes for a pair of complex nonsymmetric matrices the generalized eigenvalues and, optionally, the left and/or right generalized eigenvectors using the algorithm.
The routine may be called by the names f08wqf, nagf_lapackeig_zggev3 or its LAPACK name zggev3.
3Description
A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices is a scalar or a ratio , such that is singular. It is usually represented as the pair , as there is a reasonable interpretation for , and even for both being zero.
The right generalized eigenvector corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue of satisfies
The left generalized eigenvector corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue of satisfies
where is the conjugate-transpose of .
All the eigenvalues and, if required, all the eigenvectors of the complex generalized eigenproblem , where and are complex, square matrices, are determined using the algorithm. The complex algorithm consists of three stages:
1. is reduced to upper Hessenberg form (with real, non-negative subdiagonal elements) and at the same time is reduced to upper triangular form.
2. is further reduced to triangular form while the triangular form of is maintained and the diagonal elements of are made real and non-negative. This is the generalized Schur form of the pair .
This routine does not actually produce the eigenvalues , but instead returns and such that
The division by becomes your responsibility, since may be zero, indicating an infinite eigenvalue.
3.If the eigenvectors are required they are obtained from the triangular matrices and then transformed back into the original coordinate system.

6Error Indicators and Warnings
If , argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
The iteration failed. No eigenvectors have been calculated but alpha and beta should be correct from element .
The iteration failed with an unexpected error, please contact NAG.
A failure occurred in f08yxf while computing generalized eigenvectors.
7Accuracy
The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for nearby matrices and , where
and is the machine precision. See Section 4.11 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.
Note: interpretation of results obtained with the 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 and . It should be noted that if and are both small for any , it may be that no reliance can be placed on any of the computed eigenvalues . 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.
