The routine may be called by the names f08hsf, nagf_lapackeig_zhbtrd or its LAPACK name zhbtrd.
3Description
f08hsf reduces a Hermitian band matrix to real symmetric tridiagonal form by a unitary similarity transformation:
The unitary matrix is determined as a product of Givens rotation matrices, and may be formed explicitly by the routine if required.
The routine uses a vectorizable form of the reduction, due to Kaufman (1984).

6Error Indicators and Warnings
If , argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
7Accuracy
The computed tridiagonal matrix is exactly similar to a nearby matrix , where
is a modestly increasing function of , and is the machine precision.
The elements of themselves may be sensitive to small perturbations in or to rounding errors in the computation, but this does not affect the stability of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
The computed matrix differs from an exactly unitary matrix by a matrix such that
where is the machine precision.
8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f08hsf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08hsf 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.

This example computes all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix , where
Here is Hermitian and is treated as a band matrix. The program first calls f08hsf to reduce to tridiagonal form , and to form the unitary matrix ; the results are then passed to f08jsf which computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of .
