f12fbc (real_symm_iter)
Note: this function uses optional parameters to define choices in the problem specification. If you wish to use default
settings for all of the optional parameters, then the option setting function f12fdc need not be called.
If, however, you wish to reset some or all of the settings please refer to Section 11 in f12fdc for a detailed description of the specification of the optional parameters.

Purpose
f12fbc is an iterative solver in a suite of functions consisting of
f12fac,
f12fbc,
f12fcc,
f12fdc and
f12fec. It is used to find some of the eigenvalues (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors) of a standard or generalized eigenvalue problem defined by real symmetric matrices.
2
Specification
The function may be called by the names: f12fbc, nag_sparseig_real_symm_iter or nag_real_symm_sparse_eigensystem_iter.

Description
The suite of functions is designed to calculate some of the eigenvalues, , (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors, ) of a standard eigenvalue problem , or of a generalized eigenvalue problem of order , where is large and the coefficient matrices and are sparse, real and symmetric. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale dense, real and symmetric problems.
f12fbc is a
reverse communication function, based on the ARPACK routine
dsaupd, using the Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi iteration method, which for symmetric problems reduces to a variant of the Lanczos method. The method is described in
Lehoucq and Sorensen (1996) and
Lehoucq (2001) while its use within the ARPACK software is described in great detail in
Lehoucq et al. (1998). An evaluation of software for computing eigenvalues of sparse symmetric matrices is provided in
Lehoucq and Scott (1996). This suite of functions offers the same functionality as the ARPACK software for real symmetric problems, but the interface design is quite different in order to make the option setting clearer and to simplify the interface of
f12fbc.
The setup function
f12fac must be called before
f12fbc, the reverse communication iterative solver. Options may be set for
f12fbc by prior calls to the option setting function
f12fdc and a post-processing function
f12fcc must be called following a successful final exit from
f12fbc.
f12fec, may be called following certain flagged, intermediate exits from
f12fbc to provide additional monitoring information about the computation.
f12fbc uses
reverse communication, i.e., it returns repeatedly to the calling program with the argument
irevcm (see
Section 5) set to specified values which require the calling program to carry out one of the following tasks:
-
–compute the matrix-vector product , where is defined by the computational mode;
-
–compute the matrix-vector product ;
-
–notify the completion of the computation;
-
–allow the calling program to monitor the solution.
The problem type to be solved (standard or generalized), the spectrum of eigenvalues of interest, the mode used (regular, regular inverse, shifted inverse, Buckling or Cayley) and other options can all be set using the option setting function
f12fdc.

Arguments
Note: this function uses
reverse communication. Its use involves an initial entry, intermediate exits and re-entries, and a final exit, as indicated by the argument
irevcm. Between intermediate exits and re-entries,
all arguments other than x and y must remain unchanged.
-
1:
– Integer *
Input/Output
-
On initial entry: , otherwise an error condition will be raised.
On intermediate re-entry: must be unchanged from its previous exit value. Changing
irevcm to any other value between calls will result in an error.
On intermediate exit:
has the following meanings.
- The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product , where is stored in x and the result is placed in y.
- The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product . This is similar to the case except that the result of the matrix-vector product (as required in some computational modes) has already been computed and is available in mx.
- The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product , where is stored in x and is placed in y.
- Compute the nshift real and imaginary parts of the shifts where the real parts are to be placed in the first nshift locations of the array y and the imaginary parts are to be placed in the first nshift locations of the array mx. Only complex conjugate pairs of shifts may be applied and the pairs must be placed in consecutive locations. This value of irevcm will only arise if the optional parameter is set in a prior call to f12fdc which is intended for experienced users only; the default and recommended option is to use exact shifts (see Lehoucq et al. (1998) for details and guidance on the choice of shift strategies).
- Monitoring step: a call to f12fec can now be made to return the number of Arnoldi iterations, the number of converged Ritz values, their real and imaginary parts, and the corresponding Ritz estimates.
On final exit:
:
f12fbc has completed its tasks. The value of
fail determines whether the iteration has been successfully completed, or whether errors have been detected. On successful completion
f12fcc must be called to return the requested eigenvalues and eigenvectors (and/or Schur vectors).
Constraint:
on initial entry,
; on re-entry
irevcm must remain unchanged.
Note: any values you return to f12fbc as part of the reverse communication procedure should not include floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by f12fbc. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, f12fbc is likely to produce unexpected results.
