1 Purpose

g02ab is the AD Library version of the primal routine g02abf. Based (in the C++ interface) on overload resolution, g02ab can be used for primal, tangent and adjoint evaluation. It supports tangents and adjoints of first and second order.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine g02ab_AD_f ( ad_handle, g, ldg, n, opt, alpha, w, errtol, maxits, maxit, x, ldx, iter, feval, nrmgrd, ifail)
Integer, Intent (In) :: ldg, n, maxits, maxit, ldx
Integer, Intent (Inout) :: ifail
Integer, Intent (Out) :: iter, feval
ADTYPE, Intent (In) :: alpha, errtol
ADTYPE, Intent (Inout) :: g(ldg,n), w(*), x(ldx,n)
ADTYPE, Intent (Out) :: nrmgrd
Character (1), Intent (In) :: opt
Type (c_ptr), Intent (Inout) :: ad_handle
Corresponding to the overloaded C++ function, the Fortran interface provides five routines with names reflecting the type used for active real arguments. The actual subroutine and type names are formed by replacing AD and ADTYPE in the above as follows:
when ADTYPE is Real(kind=nag_wp) then AD is p0w
when ADTYPE is Type(nagad_a1w_w_rtype) then AD is a1w
when ADTYPE is Type(nagad_t1w_w_rtype) then AD is t1w
when ADTYPE is Type(nagad_a1t1w_w_rtype) then AD is a1t1w
when ADTYPE is Type(nagad_t2w_w_rtype) then AD is t2w
C++ Interface
#include <dco.hpp>
#include <nagad.h>
namespace nag {
namespace ad {
void g02ab ( handle_t &ad_handle, ADTYPE g[], const Integer &ldg, const Integer &n, const char *opt, const ADTYPE &alpha, ADTYPE w[], const ADTYPE &errtol, const Integer &maxits, const Integer &maxit, ADTYPE x[], const Integer &ldx, Integer &iter, Integer &feval, ADTYPE &nrmgrd, Integer &ifail)
}
}
The function is overloaded on ADTYPE which represents the type of active arguments. ADTYPE may be any of the following types:
double,
dco::ga1s<double>::type,
dco::gt1s<double>::type,
dco::gt1s<dco::gt1s<double>::type>::type,
dco::ga1s<dco::gt1s<double>::type>::type
Note: this function can be used with AD tools other than dco/c++. For details, please contact NAG.

3 Description

g02ab is the AD Library version of the primal routine g02abf.
g02abf computes the nearest correlation matrix, in the Frobenius norm or weighted Frobenius norm, and optionally with bounds on the eigenvalues, to a given square, input matrix. For further information see Section 3 in the documentation for g02abf.

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

g02ab preserves all error codes from g02abf and in addition can return:
ifail=-89
An unexpected AD error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Error Handling in the NAG AD Library Introduction for further information.
ifail=-199
The routine was called using a strategy that has not yet been implemented.
See AD Strategies in the NAG AD Library Introduction for further information.
ifail=-444
A C++ exception was thrown.
The error message will show the details of the C++ exception text.
ifail=-899

10 Example

The following examples are variants of the example for g02abf, modified to demonstrate calling the NAG AD Library.
Description of the primal example.
This example finds the nearest correlation matrix to:
G = ( 2 −1 0 0 −1 2 −1 0 0 −1 2 −1 0 0 −1 2 )  
weighted by W12 = diag(100,20,20,20) with minimum eigenvalue 0.02.
