3 Description

The suite of routines is designed to calculate some of the eigenvalues, λ , and the corresponding eigenvectors, x , of a polynomial eigenvalue problem i=0 p λi Aix = 0 where the coefficient matrices Ai are sparse, complex and symmetric. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale, dense problems.
f12juf is a reverse communication routine, based on the FEAST eigensolver, described in Polizzi (2009), which finds eigenvalues using contour integration. Prior to calling f12juf, one of the contour definition routines f12jff or f12jgf must be used to define nodes and weights for a contour around a region in the complex plane within which eigenvalues will be sought. f12jff or f12jgf uses this interval to define nodes and weights for the contour to be used by f12juf.
The setup routine f12jaf and one of the contour definition routines f12jff or f12jgf must be called before f12juf. Between the calls to f12jaf and f12jff or f12jgf, options may be set by calls to the option setting routine f12jbf.
f12juf uses reverse communication, i.e., it returns repeatedly to the calling program with the argument irevcm (see Section 5) set to specified values which require the calling program to carry out one of the following tasks:
The number of contour points, the number of iterations, and other options can all be set using the option setting routine f12jbf (see Section 11.1 in f12jbf for details on setting options and of the default settings). The search contour itself is defined by a call to f12jff or f12jgf.

5 Arguments

Note: this routine uses reverse communication. Its use involves an initial entry, intermediate exits and re-entries, and a final exit, as indicated by the argument irevcm. Between intermediate exits and re-entries, all arguments other than x and y must remain unchanged.
1: handle Type (c_ptr) Input
On entry: the handle to the internal data structure used by the NAG FEAST suite. It needs to be initialized by f12jaf. It must not be changed between calls to the NAG FEAST suite.
2: irevcm Integer Input/Output
On initial entry: irevcm=0, otherwise an error condition will be raised.
On intermediate re-entry: must be unchanged from its previous exit value. Changing irevcm to any other value between calls will result in an error.
On intermediate exit: has the following meanings.
irevcm=1
The calling program must compute a factorization of the matrix i=0 p zei Ai suitable for solving a linear system, for example using f11dnf which computes an incomplete LU factorization of a complex sparse matrix. All arguments to the routine must remain unchanged.
Note:  the factorization can be computed in single precision.
irevcm=2
The calling program must compute the solution to the linear system ( i=0 p zeiAi)w=y, overwriting y with the result w. The matrix i=0 p zei Ai has previously been factorized (when irevcm=1 was returned) and this factorization can be reused here.
Note:  the solve can be performed in single precision.
irevcm=3
The calling program must compute Akz, storing the result in x.
On final exit: irevcm=0: f12juf has completed its tasks. The value of ifail determines whether the iteration has been successfully completed, or whether errors have been detected.
Constraint: on initial entry, irevcm=0; on re-entry irevcm must remain unchanged.
Note: the matrices x, y and z referred to in this section are all of size n×m0 and are stored in the arrays x, y and z, respectively.
Note: any values you return to f12juf as part of the reverse communication procedure should not include floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by f12juf. If your code does inadvertently return any NaNs or infinities, f12juf is likely to produce unexpected results.
3: deg Integer Input
On entry: the degree, p, of the polynomial eigenvalue problem.
Constraint: deg>0.
4: ze Complex (Kind=nag_wp) Input/Output
On initial entry: need not be set.
On intermediate exit: contains the current point on the contour.
  • If irevcm=1, then this must be used by the calling program to form a factorization of the matrix i=0 p zei Ai .
5: n Integer Input
On entry: the order of the matrix A (and the order of the matrix B for the generalized problem) that defines the eigenvalue problem.
Constraint: n1.
6: x(ldx,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array x must be at least m0.
On initial entry: need not be set.
On intermediate exit:
  • if irevcm=3, the calling program must compute Akz, storing the result in x prior to re-entry.
Note: the matrices x, y and z referred to in this section are all of size n×m0 and are stored in the arrays x, y and z, respectively.
the matrices x and z are stored in the first m0 columns of the arrays x and z, respectively.
7: ldx Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array x as declared in the (sub)program from which f12juf is called.
Constraint: ldxn.
8: y(ldy,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array y must be at least m0.
On initial entry: need not be set.
On intermediate exit:
  • if irevcm=2, the calling program must compute the solution to the linear system ( i=0 p zeiAi)w=y, overwriting y with the result w, prior to re-entry. The linear system has m0 right-hand sides.
9: ldy Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array y as declared in the (sub)program from which f12juf is called.
Constraint: ldyn.
10: k Integer Output
On intermediate exit:
  • if irevcm=3, denotes which of the coefficient matrices Ak needs to be used to form Akz.
11: m0 Integer Input/Output
On initial entry: the size of the search subspace used to find the eigenvalues. This should exceed the number of eigenvalues within the search contour. See Section 9 for further details.
On intermediate re-entry: m0 must remain unchanged.
On exit: if the initial search subspace was found by f12juf to be too large, then a new smaller suitable choice is returned.
Constraint: 0<m0n.
12: nconv Integer Output
On exit: the number of eigenvalues found within the search contour.
13: d(*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the dimension of the array d must be at least m0.
On initial entry: if the option Subspace=Yes was set using the option setting routine f12jbf, then d should contain an initial guess at the eigenvalues lying within the eigenvector search subspace (this subspace should be specified by z), otherwise d need not be set.
On final exit: the first nconv entries in d contain the eigenvalues.
Note: if the option Subspace=Yes was set using the option setting routine f12jbf, then on final exit d contains an estimate of the eigenvalues after a single contour integral.
14: z(ldz,*) Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array z must be at least m0.
On initial entry: if the option Subspace=Yes was set using the option setting routine f12jbf, then z should contain an initial guess at the eigenvector search subspace, otherwise z need not be set.
On intermediate exit: must not be changed.
On final exit: the first nconv columns of z contain the eigenvectors corresponding to the eigenvalues found within the contour.
Note: if the option Execution Mode=Subspace was set using the option setting routine f12jbf, then on final exit columns 1:m0 of z contain the current search subspace after one contour integral.
15: ldz Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array z as declared in the (sub)program from which f12juf is called.
Constraint: ldzn.
16: eps Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input/Output
On initial entry: need not be set.
On exit: the relative error on the trace. At iteration k, eps is given by the expression |tracek-tracek-1|/(|Emid|+r), where tracek is the sum of the eigenvalues found at the kth iteration, Emid is the centre of mass of the contour and r is the radius of the circle, centred at Emid which just encloses the contour.
17: iter Integer Input/Output
On initial entry: need not be set.
On exit: the number of subspace iterations performed.
18: resid(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the dimension of the array resid must be at least m0.
On initial entry: need not be set.
On final exit: for i=1,,nconv, resid(i) contains the relative residual, in the 1-norm, of the ith eigenpair found, that is resid(i)= ( j=0 p λijAj)zi / (λpApzi×(|Emid|+r)) , where Emid is the centre of mass of the contour and r is the radius of the circle, centred at Emid which just encloses the contour.
19: ifail Integer Input/Output
On initial entry: ifail must be set to 0, −1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of −1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value −1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value −1 is recommended since useful values can be provided in some output arguments even when ifail0 on exit. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On final exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or −1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
Either the contour setting routine f12jef has not been called prior to the first call of this routine or the supplied handle has become corrupted.
ifail=2
No eigenvalues were found within the search contour.
ifail=3
The routine did not converge after the maximum number of iterations. The results returned may still be useful, however they might be improved by increasing the maximum number of iterations using the option setting routine f12jbf, increasing the size of the eigenvector search subspace, m0, or experimenting with the choice of contour. Note that the returned eigenvalues and eigenvectors, together with the returned value of m0, can be used as the initial estimates for a new iteration of the solver.
ifail=4
The size of the eigenvector search subspace, m0, is too small.
ifail=5
The optional parameter Execution Mode=Subspace was set using f12jbf. Columns 1:m0 of z contain the search subspace after one contour integral and d contains an estimate of the eigenvalues.
ifail=6
The optional parameter Execution Mode=Estimate was set using f12jbf. nconv contains a stochastic estimate of the number of eigenvalues within the contour.
ifail=7
An internal error occurred in the reduced eigenvalue solver. Please contact NAG.
ifail=8
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n1.
ifail=9
On entry, m0=value and n=value.
Constraint: 0<m0n.
ifail=10
On entry, ldx=value and n=value.
Constraint: ldxn.
ifail=11
On entry, ldy=value and n=value.
Constraint: ldyn.
ifail=12
On entry, ldz=value and n=value.
Constraint: ldzn.
ifail=13
On initial entry, irevcm=value.
Constraint: irevcm=0.
On intermediate entry, irevcm=value.
Constraint: irevcm=1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
ifail=14
On entry, deg=value.
Constraint: deg>0.

7 Accuracy

A gauge on the accuracy of the computation can be obtained by looking at eps, the relative error on the trace, and the residuals, stored in resid.
Note: the factorizations and linear system solves required when irevcm=1 or 2 can be performed in single precision, without any loss of accuracy in the final eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f12juf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f12juf 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

Ideally, when using f12juf you should have an idea of the distribution of the eigenvalue spectrum to allow good choices of the search contour and m0 to be made. For best performance, m0 should exceed the number of eigenvalues within the search contour by a factor of approximately 1.5. Note that a polynomial eigenvalue problem of order n and degree p can have up to n×p eigenvalues. However m0 must not exceed n.
The complex allocatable memory required by f12juf is approximately 2×m0×m0×deg×deg.
