3 Description

f08qkf computes left and/or right eigenvectors of a real upper quasi-triangular matrix T in canonical Schur form. Such a matrix arises from the Schur factorization of a real general matrix, as computed by f08pef, for example.
The right eigenvector x, and the left eigenvector y, corresponding to an eigenvalue λ, are defined by:
Tx = λx   and   yHT = λyH (or ​TTy=λ¯y) .  
Note that even though T is real, λ, x and y may be complex. If x is an eigenvector corresponding to a complex eigenvalue λ, then the complex conjugate vector x¯ is the eigenvector corresponding to the complex conjugate eigenvalue λ¯.
The routine can compute the eigenvectors corresponding to selected eigenvalues, or it can compute all the eigenvectors. In the latter case the eigenvectors may optionally be pre-multiplied by an input matrix Q. Normally Q is an orthogonal matrix from the Schur factorization of a matrix A as A=QTQT; if x is a (left or right) eigenvector of T, then Qx is an eigenvector of A.
The eigenvectors are computed by forward or backward substitution. They are scaled so that, for a real eigenvector x, max(|xi|)=1, and for a complex eigenvector, max(|Re(xi)|+|Im(xi)|)=1.

5 Arguments

1: job Character(1) Input
On entry: indicates whether left and/or right eigenvectors are to be computed.
job='R'
Only right eigenvectors are computed.
job='L'
Only left eigenvectors are computed.
job='B'
Both left and right eigenvectors are computed.
Constraint: job='R', 'L' or 'B'.
2: howmny Character(1) Input
On entry: indicates how many eigenvectors are to be computed.
howmny='A'
All eigenvectors (as specified by job) are computed.
howmny='B'
All eigenvectors (as specified by job) are computed and then pre-multiplied by the matrix Q (which is overwritten).
howmny='S'
Selected eigenvectors (as specified by job and select) are computed.
Constraint: howmny='A', 'B' or 'S'.
3: select(*) Logical array Input/Output
Note: the dimension of the array select must be at least max(1,n) if howmny='S', and at least 1 otherwise.
On entry: specifies which eigenvectors are to be computed if howmny='S'. To obtain the real eigenvector corresponding to the real eigenvalue λj, select(j) must be set .TRUE.. To select the complex eigenvector corresponding to a complex conjugate pair of eigenvalues λj and λj+1, select(j) and/or select(j+1) must be set .TRUE.; the eigenvector corresponding to the first eigenvalue in the pair is computed.
On exit: if a complex eigenvector was selected as specified above, select(j) is set to .TRUE. and select(j+1) to .FALSE..
If howmny='A' or 'B', select is not referenced.
4: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix T.
Constraint: n0.
5: t(ldt,*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
Note: the second dimension of the array t must be at least max(1,n).
On entry: the n×n upper quasi-triangular matrix T in canonical Schur form, as returned by f08pef.
6: ldt Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array t as declared in the (sub)program from which f08qkf is called.
Constraint: ldt max(1,n) .
7: vl(ldvl,*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array vl must be at least max(1,mm) if job='L' or 'B'.
On entry: if howmny='B' and job='L' or 'B', vl must contain an n×n matrix Q (usually the matrix of Schur vectors returned by f08pef).
If howmny='A' or 'S', vl need not be set.
On exit: if job='L' or 'B', vl contains the computed left eigenvectors (as specified by howmny and select). The eigenvectors are stored consecutively in the columns of the array, in the same order as their eigenvalues. Corresponding to each real eigenvalue is a real eigenvector, occupying one column. Corresponding to each complex conjugate pair of eigenvalues, is a complex eigenvector occupying two columns; the first column holds the real part and the second column holds the imaginary part.
If job='R', vl is not referenced.
8: ldvl Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array vl as declared in the (sub)program from which f08qkf is called.
Constraints:
  • if job='L' or 'B', ldvln;
  • if job='R', ldvl1.
9: vr(ldvr,*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array vr must be at least max(1,mm) if job='R' or 'B'.
On entry: if howmny='B' and job='R' or 'B', vr must contain an n×n matrix Q (usually the matrix of Schur vectors returned by f08pef).
If howmny='A' or 'S', vr need not be set.
On exit: if job='R' or 'B', vr contains the computed right eigenvectors (as specified by howmny and select). The eigenvectors are stored consecutively in the columns of the array, in the same order as their eigenvalues. Corresponding to each real eigenvalue is a real eigenvector, occupying one column. Corresponding to each complex conjugate pair of eigenvalues, is a complex eigenvector occupying two columns; the first column holds the real part and the second column holds the imaginary part.
If job='L', vr is not referenced.
10: ldvr Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array vr as declared in the (sub)program from which f08qkf is called.
Constraints:
  • if job='R' or 'B', ldvrn;
  • if job='L', ldvr1.
11: mm Integer Input
On entry: the number of columns in the arrays vl and/or vr. The precise number of columns required, m, is n if howmny='A' or 'B'; if howmny='S', m is obtained by counting 1 for each selected real eigenvector and 2 for each selected complex eigenvector (see select), in which case 0mn.
Constraints:
  • if howmny='A' or 'B', mmn;
  • otherwise mmm.
12: m Integer Output
On exit: m, the number of columns of vl and/or vr actually used to store the computed eigenvectors. If howmny='A' or 'B', m is set to n.
13: work(3×n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
14: info Integer Output
On exit: info=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

info<0
If info=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

7 Accuracy

If xi is an exact right eigenvector, and x~i is the corresponding computed eigenvector, then the angle θ(x~i,xi) between them is bounded as follows:
θ (x~i,xi) c (n) ε T2 sepi  
where sepi is the reciprocal condition number of xi.
The condition number sepi may be computed by calling f08qlf.
