The routine may be called by the names f08gsf, nagf_lapackeig_zhptrd or its LAPACK name zhptrd.
3Description
f08gsf reduces a complex Hermitian matrix , held in packed storage, to real symmetric tridiagonal form by a unitary similarity transformation: .
The matrix is not formed explicitly but is represented as a product of elementary reflectors (see the F08 Chapter Introduction for details). Routines are provided to work with in this representation (see Section 9).

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.
8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f08gsf 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.
