f08fdc computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix . Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.
The function may be called by the names: f08fdc, nag_lapackeig_dsyevr or nag_dsyevr.
3Description
The symmetric matrix is first reduced to a tridiagonal matrix , using orthogonal similarity transformations. Then whenever possible, f08fdc computes the eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations. f08fdc computes eigenvalues by the dqds algorithm, while orthogonal eigenvectors are computed from various ‘good’ representations (also known as Relatively Robust Representations). Gram–Schmidt orthogonalization is avoided as far as possible. More specifically, the various steps of the algorithm are as follows. For the th unreduced block of :
(a)compute
, such that
is a relatively robust representation,
(b)compute the eigenvalues, , of
to high relative accuracy by the dqds algorithm,
(c)if there is a cluster of close eigenvalues, ‘choose’ close to the cluster, and go to (a),
(d)given the approximate eigenvalue of
, compute the corresponding eigenvector by forming a rank-revealing twisted factorization.

If high relative accuracy is important, set abstol to , although doing so does not currently guarantee that eigenvalues are computed to high relative accuracy. See Barlow and Demmel (1990) for a discussion of which matrices can define their eigenvalues to high relative accuracy.
