void	g05pxf_ (const char side, const char init, const Integer m, const Integer n, Integer state[], double a[], const Integer lda, Integer ifail, const Charlen length_side, const Charlen length_init)

The routine may be called by the names g05pxf or nagf_rand_matrix_orthog.

3 Description

g05pxf pre- or post-multiplies an

m \times n

matrix

A

by a random orthogonal matrix

U

, overwriting

A

. The matrix

A

may optionally be initialized to the identity matrix before multiplying by

U

, hence

U

is returned.

U

is generated using the method of Stewart (1980). The algorithm can be summarised as follows.

Let

x_{1}, x_{2}, \dots, x_{n - 1}

follow independent multinormal distributions with zero mean and variance

I σ^{2}

and dimensions

n, n - 1, \dots, 2

; let

H_{j} = diag (I_{j - 1}, H_{j}^{*})

, where

I_{j - 1}

is the identity matrix and

H_{j}^{*}

is the Householder transformation that reduces

x_{j}

r_{j j} e_{1}

e_{1}

being the vector with first element one and the remaining elements zero and

r_{j j}

being a scalar, and let

D = diag (sign (r_{11}), sign (r_{22}), \dots, sign (r_{n n}))

. Then the product

U = D H_{1} H_{2} \dots H_{n - 1}

is a random orthogonal matrix distributed according to the Haar measure over the set of orthogonal matrices of

n

. See Theorem 3.3 in Stewart (1980).

One of the initialization routines g05kff (for a repeatable sequence if computed sequentially) or g05kgf (for a non-repeatable sequence) must be called prior to the first call to g05pxf.

5 Arguments

1: $side$ – Character(1) Input

On entry: indicates whether the matrix

A

is multiplied on the left or right by the random orthogonal matrix

U

$side ='L'$: The matrix $A$ is multiplied on the left, i.e., premultiplied.
$side ='R'$: The matrix $A$ is multiplied on the right, i.e., post-multiplied.

Constraint:

side ='L'

'R'

2: $init$ – Character(1) Input

On entry: indicates whether or not a should be initialized to the identity matrix.

$init ='I'$: a is initialized to the identity matrix.
$init ='N'$: a is not initialized and the matrix $A$ must be supplied in a.

Constraint:

init ='I'

'N'

3: $m$ – Integer Input

On entry:

m

, the number of rows of the matrix

A

Constraints:

if $side ='L'$ , $m > 1$ ;
otherwise $m \geq 1$ .

4: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the number of columns of the matrix

A

Constraints:

if $side ='R'$ , $n > 1$ ;
otherwise $n \geq 1$ .

5: $state (*)$ – Integer array Communication Array

Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array state supplied to the initialization routines g05kff or g05kgf.

On entry: contains information on the selected base generator and its current state.

On exit: contains updated information on the state of the generator.

6: $a (lda, n)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

On entry: if

init ='N'

, a must contain the matrix

A

On exit: the matrix

U A

when

side ='L'

or the matrix

A U

when

side ='R'

7: $lda$ – Integer Input

On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which g05pxf is called.

Constraint:

lda \geq m

8: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to

0

−1

1

to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.

A value of

0

causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of

−1

means that an error message is printed while a value of

1

means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value

−1

1

is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value

1

is recommended. Otherwise, the value

0

is recommended. When the value $- 1$ or $1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit:

ifail = 0

unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry

ifail = 0

−1

, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

$ifail = 1$: On entry, side is not valid: $side = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

$ifail = 2$: On entry, init is not valid: $init = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

$ifail = 3$: On entry, $side = ⟨ value ⟩$ , $m = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: if $side ='L'$ , $m > 1$ ; otherwise $m \geq 1$ .

$ifail = 4$: On entry, $side = ⟨ value ⟩$ , $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: if $side ='R'$ , $n > 1$ ; otherwise $n \geq 1$ .

$ifail = 5$: On entry, state vector has been corrupted or not initialized.

$ifail = 7$: On entry, $lda = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $m = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $lda \geq m$ .

$ifail = 8$: On entry, $side = ⟨ value ⟩$ , $m = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: if $side ='L'$ , $m > 1$ ; otherwise $m \geq 1$ .

On entry, $side = ⟨ value ⟩$ , $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: if $side ='R'$ , $n > 1$ ; otherwise $n \geq 1$ .

$ifail = - 99$: An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

$ifail = - 399$: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

$ifail = - 999$: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 9 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

7 Accuracy

The maximum error in

U^{T} U

should be a modest multiple of machine precision (see Chapter X02).

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

g05pxf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

g05pxf 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.
