Note:this routine usesoptional parametersto define choices in the problem specification. If you wish to use default settings for all of the optional parameters, then the option setting routine f12adf need not be called.
If, however, you wish to reset some or all of the settings please refer to Section 11 in f12adf for a detailed description of the specification of the optional parameters.
The routine may be called by the names f12acf or nagf_sparseig_real_proc.
3Description
The suite of routines 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 nonsymmetric. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale dense, real and nonsymmetric problems.
Following a call to f12abf, f12acf returns the converged approximations to eigenvalues and (optionally) the corresponding approximate eigenvectors and/or an orthonormal basis for the associated approximate invariant subspace. The eigenvalues (and eigenvectors) are selected from those of a standard or generalized eigenvalue problem defined by real nonsymmetric matrices. There is negligible additional cost to obtain eigenvectors; an orthonormal basis is always computed, but there is an additional storage cost if both are requested.
f12acf is based on the routine dneupd from the ARPACK package, which uses the Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi iteration 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 nonsymmetric matrices is provided in Lehoucq and Scott (1996). This suite of routines offers the same functionality as the ARPACK software for real nonsymmetric problems, but the interface design is quite different in order to make the option setting clearer and to simplify some of the interfaces.
f12acf is a post-processing routine that must be called following a successful final exit from f12abf. f12acf uses data returned from f12abf and options, set either by default or explicitly by calling f12adf, to return the converged approximations to selected eigenvalues and (optionally):
–the corresponding approximate eigenvectors;
–an orthonormal basis for the associated approximate invariant subspace;
–both.

5Arguments
1: – IntegerOutput
On exit: the number of converged eigenvalues as found by f12abf.
2: – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the dimension of the array dr
must be at least
(see f12aaf).
On exit: the first nconv locations of the array dr contain the real parts of the converged approximate eigenvalues.
3: – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the dimension of the array di
must be at least
(see f12aaf).
On exit: the first nconv locations of the array di contain the imaginary parts of the converged approximate eigenvalues.
4: – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the second dimension of the array z
must be at least
if the default option
has been selected and at least if the option
or
has been selected (see f12aaf).
On exit: if the default option (see f12adf) has been selected then z contains the final set of eigenvectors corresponding to the eigenvalues held in dr and di. The complex eigenvector associated with the eigenvalue with positive imaginary part is stored in two consecutive columns. The first column holds the real part of the eigenvector and the second column holds the imaginary part. The eigenvector associated with the eigenvalue with negative imaginary part is simply the complex conjugate of the eigenvector associated with the positive imaginary part.

6: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: if one of the Shifted Inverse Real modes have been selected then sigmar contains the real part of the shift used; otherwise sigmar is not referenced.
7: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: if one of the Shifted Inverse Real modes have been selected then sigmai contains the imaginary part of the shift used; otherwise sigmai is not referenced.
8: – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the dimension of the array resid

On entry: the ncv columns of v contain the Arnoldi basis vectors for as constructed by f12abf.
On exit: if the option has been set, or the option has been set and a separate array z has been passed (i.e., z does not equal v), then the first nconv columns of v will contain approximate Schur vectors that span the desired invariant subspace.

On entry: ifail must be set to , or to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of means that an error message is printed while a value of means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value or is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value is recommended. Otherwise, the value is recommended. When the value or is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).
6Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry or , explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
On entry, , in f12aaf, or when no vectors required.
Constraint: (see n in f12aaf).
On entry, , but this is not yet implemented.
The number of eigenvalues found to sufficient accuracy, as communicated through the argument icomm, is zero. You should experiment with different values of nev and ncv, or select a different computational mode or increase the maximum number of iterations prior to calling f12abf.
Got a different count of the number of converged Ritz values than the value passed to it through the argument icomm: number counted , number expected . This usually indicates that a communication array has been altered or has become corrupted between calls to f12abfandf12acf.
During calculation of a real Schur form, there was a failure to compute eigenvalues in a total of iterations.
The computed Schur form could not be reordered by an internal call. This routine returned with . Please contact NAG.
In calculating eigenvectors, an internal call returned with an error. Please contact NAG.
Either the solver routine has not been called prior to the call of this routine or a communication array has become corrupted.
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please
