f08ubf computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real generalized symmetric-definite banded eigenproblem, of the form
where and are symmetric and banded, and is also positive definite. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either all eigenvalues, a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.
The routine may be called by the names f08ubf, nagf_lapackeig_dsbgvx or its LAPACK name dsbgvx.
3Description
The generalized symmetric-definite band problem
is first reduced to a standard band symmetric problem
where is a symmetric band matrix, using Wilkinson's modification to Crawford's algorithm (see Crawford (1973) and Wilkinson (1977)). The symmetric eigenvalue problem is then solved for the required eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and the eigenvectors are then backtransformed to the eigenvectors of the original problem.
The eigenvectors are normalized so that

5Arguments
1: – Character(1)Input
On entry: indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
Only eigenvalues are computed.

2: – Character(1)Input
On entry: if , all eigenvalues will be found.
If , all eigenvalues in the half-open interval will be found.
On entry: the absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues. An approximate eigenvalue is accepted as converged when it is determined to lie in an interval of width less than or equal to

6Error Indicators and Warnings
If , argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
The algorithm failed to converge; eigenvectors did not converge. Their indices are stored in array jfail.
If , for , f08uff returned : is not positive definite. The factorization of could not be completed and no eigenvalues or eigenvectors were computed.
7Accuracy
If is ill-conditioned with respect to inversion, then the error bounds for the computed eigenvalues and vectors may be large, although when the diagonal elements of differ widely in magnitude the eigenvalues and eigenvectors may be less sensitive than the condition of would suggest. See Section 4.10 of Anderson et al. (1999) for details of the error bounds.
8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f08ubf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08ubf 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.
9Further Comments
The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to if and , and assuming that , is approximately proportional to if . Otherwise the number of floating-point operations depends upon the number of eigenvectors computed.
