f12fdc (real_symm_option)
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 this function need not be called. If, however, you wish to reset some or all of the settings please refer to Section 11 for a detailed description of the specification of the optional parameters.

Purpose
f12fdc is an option setting function in a suite of functions consisting of
f12fac,
f12fbc,
f12fcc,
f12fdc and
f12fec, and may be used to supply individual optional parameters to
f12fbc and
f12fcc. The initialization function
f12fac must have been called prior to calling
f12fdc.
2
Specification
The function may be called by the names: f12fdc, nag_sparseig_real_symm_option or nag_real_symm_sparse_eigensystem_option.

Description
f12fdc may be used to supply values for optional parameters to
f12fbc and
f12fcc. It is only necessary to call
f12fdc for those arguments whose values are to be different from their default values. One call to
f12fdc sets one argument value.
Each optional parameter is defined by a single character string consisting of one or more items. The items associated with a given option must be separated by spaces, or equals signs
. Alphabetic characters may be upper or lower case. The string
Iteration Limit = 500
is an example of a string used to set an optional parameter. For each option the string contains one or more of the following items:
-
–a mandatory keyword;
-
–a phrase that qualifies the keyword;
-
–a number that specifies an Integer or double value. Such numbers may be up to contiguous characters in
C's d or g format.
f12fdc does not have an equivalent function from the ARPACK package which passes options by directly setting values to scalar arguments or to specific elements of array arguments.
f12fdc is intended to make the passing of options more transparent and follows the same principle as the single option setting functions in
Chapter E04.
The setup function
f12fac must be called prior to the first call to
f12fdc and all calls to
f12fdc must precede the first call to
f12fbc, the reverse communication iterative solver.
A complete list of optional parameters, their abbreviations, synonyms and default values is given in
Section 11.

Optional Parameters
Several optional parameters for the computational functions
f12fbc and
f12fcc define choices in the problem specification or the algorithm logic. In order to reduce the number of formal arguments of
f12fbc and
f12fcc these optional parameters have associated
default values that are appropriate for most problems. Therefore, you need only specify those optional parameters whose values are to be different from their default values.
The remainder of this section can be skipped if you wish to use the default values for all optional parameters.
The following is a list of the optional parameters available. A full description of each optional parameter is provided in
Section 11.1.
Optional parameters may be specified by calling
f12fdc before a call to
f12fbc, but after a call to
f12fac. One call is necessary for each optional parameter.
All optional parameters you do not specify are set to their default values. Optional parameters you do specify are unaltered by
f12fbc and
f12fcc (unless they define invalid values) and so remain in effect for subsequent calls unless you alter them.
11.1
Description of the Optional Parameters
For each option, we give a summary line, a description of the optional parameter and details of constraints.
The summary line contains:
- the keywords, where the minimum abbreviation of each keyword is underlined;
- a parameter value,
where the letters , and denote options that take character, integer and real values respectively;
- the default value, where the symbol is a generic notation for machine precision (see X02AJC).
Keywords and character values are case and white space insensitive.
Optional parameters used to specify files (e.g.,
and
) have type Nag_FileID. This ID value must either be set to
(the default value) in which case there will be no output, or will be as returned by a call of
x04acc.
(See
Section 3.1.1 in the Introduction to the
NAG Library CL Interface for further information on
NAG data types.)
Advisory messages are output to Nag_FileID during the solution of the problem.
This special keyword may be used to reset all optional parameters to their default values.
During the Lanczos iterative process, shifts are applied internally as part of the implicit restarting scheme. The shift strategy used by default and selected by the
is strongly recommended over the alternative
(see
Lehoucq et al. (1998) for details of shift strategies).
If are used then these are computed internally by the algorithm in the implicit restarting scheme.
If
are used then, during the Lanczos iterative process, you must supply shifts through array arguments of
f12fbc when
f12fbc returns with
; the real and imaginary parts of the shifts are
supplied in
y and
mx respectively.
This option should only be used if you are an experienced user since this requires some algorithmic knowledge and because more operations are usually required than for the implicit shift scheme. Details on the use of explicit shifts and further references on shift strategies are available in
Lehoucq et al. (1998).
Iteration Limit | |
Default
|
The limit on the number of Lanczos iterations that can be performed before
f12fbc exits. If not all requested eigenvalues have converged to within
and the number of Lanczos iterations has reached this limit then
f12fbc exits with an error;
f12fcc can still be called subsequently to return the number of converged eigenvalues, the converged eigenvalues and, if requested, the corresponding eigenvectors.
Largest Magnitude | | Default |
The Lanczos iterative method converges on a number of eigenvalues with given properties. The default is for
f12fbc to compute the eigenvalues of largest magnitude using
. Alternatively, eigenvalues may be chosen which have
part,
, or
part; or eigenvalues which are from
of the algebraic spectrum.
Note that these options select the eigenvalue properties for eigenvalues of (and for problems), the linear operator determined by the computational mode and problem type.
Optional parameter enables printing of each optional parameter specification as it is supplied. suppresses this printing.
(See
Section 3.1.1 in the Introduction to the
NAG Library CL Interface for further information on
NAG data types.)
Unless
is set to
(the default), monitoring information is output to Nag_FileID
during the solution of each problem; this may be the same as
. The type of information produced is dependent on the value of
, see the description of the optional parameter
in this section for details of the information produced. Please see
x04acc to associate a file with a given Nag_FileID.
This controls the amount of printing produced by
f12fdc as follows.

Note that setting can result in very lengthy output.
To begin the Lanczos iterative process,
f12fbc requires an initial residual vector. By default
f12fbc provides its own random initial residual vector; this option can also be set using optional parameter
. Alternatively, you can supply an initial residual vector (perhaps from a previous computation) to
f12fbc through the array argument
resid; this option can be set using optional parameter
.
These options define the computational mode which in turn defines the form of operation
to be performed when
f12fbc returns with
or
and the matrix-vector product
when
f12fbc returns with

The problem to be solved is either a standard eigenvalue problem, , or a generalized eigenvalue problem, . The optional parameter should be used when a standard eigenvalue problem is being solved and the optional parameter should be used when a generalized eigenvalue problem is being solved.
An approximate eigenvalue has deemed to have converged when the corresponding Ritz estimate is within relative to the magnitude of the eigenvalue.
The function
f12fcc can optionally compute the Schur vectors and/or the eigenvectors corresponding to the converged eigenvalues. To turn off computation of any vectors the option
should be set. To compute only the Schur vectors (at very little extra cost), the option
should be set and these will be returned in the array argument
v of
f12fcc. To compute the eigenvectors (Ritz vectors) corresponding to the eigenvalue estimates, the option
should be set and these will be returned in the array argument
z of
f12fcc, if
z is set equal to
v then the Schur vectors in
v are overwritten by the eigenvectors computed by
f12fcc.
