f08jhf computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a real symmetric tridiagonal matrix, or of a real full or banded symmetric matrix which has been reduced to tridiagonal form.
The routine may be called by the names f08jhf, nagf_lapackeig_dstedc or its LAPACK name dstedc.
3Description
f08jhf computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, the eigenvectors of a real symmetric tridiagonal matrix . That is, the routine computes the spectral factorization of given by
where is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues, , of and is an orthogonal matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors, , of . Thus
The routine may also be used to compute all the eigenvalues and vectors of a real full, or banded, symmetric matrix which has been reduced to tridiagonal form as
where is orthogonal. The spectral factorization of is then given by
In this case must be formed explicitly and passed to f08jhf in the array z, and the routine called with . Routines which may be called to form and are
When only eigenvalues are required then this routine calls f08jff to compute the eigenvalues of the tridiagonal matrix , but when eigenvectors of are also required and the matrix is not too small, then a divide and conquer method is used, which can be much faster than f08jef, although more storage is required.

and is the machine precision.

If is the corresponding exact eigenvector, and is the corresponding computed eigenvector, then the angle between them is bounded as follows:
Thus the accuracy of a computed eigenvector depends on the gap between its eigenvalue and all the other eigenvalues.

f08jhf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08jhf 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.

9Further Comments
If only eigenvalues are required, the total number of floating-point operations is approximately proportional to . When eigenvectors are required the number of operations is bounded above by approximately the same number of operations as f08jef, but for large matrices f08jhf is usually much faster.
