Optionally it also computes a balancing transformation to improve the conditioning of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, reciprocal condition numbers for the eigenvalues, and reciprocal condition numbers for the right eigenvectors.

3 Description

A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices

(A, B)

is a scalar

λ

or a ratio

α / β = λ

, such that

A - λ B

is singular. It is usually represented as the pair

(α, β)

, as there is a reasonable interpretation for

β = 0

, and even for both being zero.

The right generalized eigenvector

v_{j}

corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue

λ_{j}

(A, B)

satisfies

A v_{j} = λ_{j} B v_{j} .

The left generalized eigenvector

u_{j}

corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue

λ_{j}

(A, B)

satisfies

u_{j}^{H} A = λ_{j} u_{j}^{H} B,

where

u_{j}^{H}

is the conjugate-transpose of

u_{j}

All the eigenvalues and, if required, all the eigenvectors of the complex generalized eigenproblem

A x = λ B x

, where

A

and

B

are complex, square matrices, are determined using the

Q Z

algorithm. The complex

Q Z

algorithm consists of three stages:

1. $A$ is reduced to upper Hessenberg form (with real, non-negative subdiagonal elements) and at the same time $B$ is reduced to upper triangular form.
2. $A$ is further reduced to triangular form while the triangular form of $B$ is maintained and the diagonal elements of $B$ are made real and non-negative. This is the generalized Schur form of the pair $(A, B)$ .
This routine does not actually produce the eigenvalues $λ_{j}$ , but instead returns $α_{j}$ and $β_{j}$ such that

$λ_{j} = α_{j} / β_{j}, j = 1, 2, \dots, n .$

The division by $β_{j}$ becomes your responsibility, since $β_{j}$ 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.

For details of the balancing option, see Section 3 in f08wvf.

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$info < 0$: If $info = - i$ , argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

$info = 1, \dots, n$: The $Q Z$ iteration failed. No eigenvectors have been calculated but alpha and beta should be correct from element $⟨ value ⟩$ .

$info = n + 1$: The $Q Z$ iteration failed with an unexpected error, please contact NAG.

$info = n + 2$: A failure occurred in f08yxf while computing generalized eigenvectors.

7 Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for nearby matrices

(A + E)

and

(B + F)

, where

{‖ (E, F) ‖}_{F} = O (ε) {‖ (A, B) ‖}_{F},

and

ε

is the machine precision.

An approximate error bound on the chordal distance between the

i

th computed generalized eigenvalue

w

and the corresponding exact eigenvalue

λ

ε \times {‖ abnrm, bbnrm ‖}_{2} / rconde (i) .

An approximate error bound for the angle between the

i

th computed eigenvector

u_{j}

v_{j}

is given by

ε \times {‖ abnrm, bbnrm ‖}_{2} / rcondv (i) .

For further explanation of the reciprocal condition numbers rconde and rcondv, see Section 4.11 of Anderson et al. (1999).

Note: interpretation of results obtained with the

Q Z

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

α_{j}

and

β_{j}

. It should be noted that if

α_{j}

and

β_{j}

are both small for any

j

, it may be that no reliance can be placed on any of the computed eigenvalues

λ_{i} = α_{i} / β_{i}

. 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.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

f08wpf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f08wpf 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

The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to

n^{3}

The real analogue of this routine is f08wbf.

10 Example

This example finds all the eigenvalues and right eigenvectors of the matrix pair

(A, B)

, where

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 21.10 - 22.50 i & 53.50 - 50.50 i & - 34.50 + 127.50 i & 7.50 + 0.50 i \\ - 0.46 - 7.78 i & - 3.50 - 37.50 i & - 15.50 + 58.50 i & - 10.50 - 1.50 i \\ 4.30 - 5.50 i & 39.70 - 17.10 i & - 68.50 + 12.50 i & - 7.50 - 3.50 i \\ 5.50 + 4.40 i & 14.40 + 43.30 i & - 32.50 - 46.00 i & - 19.00 - 32.50 i \end{array})

and

B = (\begin{array}{r} 1.00 - 5.00 i & 1.60 + 1.20 i & - 3.00 + 0.00 i & 0.00 - 1.00 i \\ 0.80 - 0.60 i & 3.00 - 5.00 i & - 4.00 + 3.00 i & - 2.40 - 3.20 i \\ 1.00 + 0.00 i & 2.40 + 1.80 i & - 4.00 - 5.00 i & 0.00 - 3.00 i \\ 0.00 + 1.00 i & - 1.80 + 2.40 i & 0.00 - 4.00 i & 4.00 - 5.00 i \end{array}),

together with estimates of the condition number and forward error bounds for each eigenvalue and eigenvector. The option to balance the matrix pair is used.

Note that the block size (NB) of

64

assumed in this example is not realistic for such a small problem, but should be suitable for large problems.
